A joke is made that a man must have ‘roofied’ a woman to get her pregnant. I didn’t watch any more after this.

Lux and her friends from the foster system have a history of child abuse. 1x1 Lux: "creepy husbands that try to hit on me". 1x5 "Maybe he's one of those old-school dads who can only show love by hitting you on the head," "Or maybe he just likes hitting me on the head". 1x6 Lux describes how Bug's father physically abused him and his mother didn't intervene. 1x10 Lux tells a story about how a foster mom shoved her into a wall at age 5 and told the social worker she fell off a swing. A major arc of season two is Lux (16) in a relationship with Eric (23), a teacher at her school.
