There’s a reference to a character hitting her boyfriend, and to him hitting her back. You see his bruises. It’s played off as sort of funny.

(Season 1 spoiler) Season 1 shows how Beth, Cosima and Allison are being monitored by people close to them. It's not technically stalking but still a break of trust and privacy.

In Season 3 Episode 2, the episode contains a woman going on a date with one of the Project CASTOR clones. While they are having sex, a secone clone comes out from the shadows and also begins touching her. Later, she reports this to the police & sarcastically says that because she consented to the first clone, it wasn't rape.

Helena is a clone who presents with flat affect, odd speech and later, hallucinations. She was trained to kill as a young child, so her inclination to violence either towards herself or to others are possibly a result of abuse. Her behavior is strange and markedly different to other clones - *spoiler* she is initially a villainous presence - but it is far from a dehumanizing portrayal of a person with psychosis.
