It lasted for a long time and was somber on set.The Hollywood Reporter is part of MRC Media & Info, a division of MRC.They do really well with the teases, that's all I can say. When we did about three takes she was like, "Okay, my actors have done enough, they're good now." She really kept an eye on us and kept us protected, not in the sense that anyone else didn't want to protect us, but it was her job to overprotect and make sure that we were super comfortable being in the position we were in.I definitely think he has suspicions, even though he doesn't have anything to prove it. It is clear that Cassie did not enjoy that but goes along with it because she had given her consent and probably out of some pity for what the boy went through just minutes ago. But as the two of them get undressed, heading towards sex, some six to eight semi-nude frat guys barge into the room and drag McKay off the bed.
McKay is Cassie's boyfriend; they have a strained but attentive relationship. He asks Cassie why she has put clothes on, and whether she doesn't want to have sex anymore. Some think he was raped by those guys in the quick scene that a character also filmed while it was happening. They then pin him down on the ground with his back up and grind and hump against his body while a couple of them record the incident. I think outside of that, it may be Cassie and everything he has to do with that, but I think the main thing he's focused on is, "I'm not making it in my dream, and my father is counting on me making it and I've got to break it to him." That was very beneficial. A mortified Cassie manages to cover herself up with the sheets and screams at them to stop, and while the scene was edited in a manner where you can't really tell if McKay was raped, the fact that they keep chanting 'McGay!'
That's a lot to share, whatever he's going through, and he doesn't know how to talk about it because he's never talked about it or communicated because he just bottles everything up. Others think it was hazing and he was assaulted but not actually raped. The way Pippa [Bianco, the episode's helmer] directed it, it was a private set and when they came in the room it was very intense. yes, he sees the video and then tries to replicate it when Cassie and him have sex. It was left up to the viewers to figure out exactly what happened to McKay. Even when he's practicing really hard and he's like, "Okay, now you're ready to practice for real with the team," you see immediately the hard work inside of him. Before we even got on set, she would come to our trailers and talk to us about everything we had to do and made sure we felt very comfortable. He knows what kind of girl she is and he's trying to just blind it right now with "love." The episode ends with Cassie realizing she may be pregnant. At the beginning of the episode, we see his father tell him to take his emotions and bottle them in, and when you get to the [football] line, that's when you let it snap.
They also back their opinions on what McKay did to Cassie as not rape, saying: "There was no game and no snap coming so that's how he released his anger after the hazing incident. When we got on set, she wouldn't keep letting them do takes for no reason. The deeper we go, we start talking about the father again because that's just the dynamic right now; it's football and it's also trying to please his father with football.
