The dog is still alive by the ep. BUT inexplicably begins a heartbreaking narrative (the dog talks, never talked before). I could not handle the grief and pain expressed by the dog monologue. While the has not died, it suffers.

Female MC is kissed against her will and then forced against a table as the man grinds (both clothed) on her backside. To avoid the whole scene (kiss included) look away as the man says 'one of the proudest moments of my academic career' (1:34). Safe to look again when he says 'You f*****g b***h at 2:16.

(She’s mostly mad that it makes her less aware rather than the pain part)

Definitely not in support of cops. There is a scene (approx 33:00-34:30) where a group of mostly black people are holding a peaceful protest which is broken up violently by police. One man and woman are beaten with batons, others are dragged away or thrown against walls.

During a flashback to Elizabeth's childhood, her brother kills himself due to persecution for being gay. You hear a gunshot and see a flash from behind a closed door, then the door is opened and his body with a pool of blood can be seen. It's not a close view, and is only shown for a few seconds.
