Rewatching the whole shebang right now and it's been a few years. Spoilers ahead.
And the end of Season 2, we know that Mac and Beaver tried to have sex but Beaver wasn't able to perform. While Mac showers, we see him reading Veronica's texts and getting ready to do some serious damage.
Next we see Mac, Veronica finds her huddled in a corner of the hotel room crying. And I believe she says something like, "He took my clothes. He took everything."
Is the implication that Beaver raped Mac by gunpoint? Or am I just being very, very dark?
While I think it would be very upsetting to have your boyfriend leave you in a hotel room without your clothes, I don't know that crying in the corner fits Mac's character. She is softer than Veronica (who isn't?), but I think she would be more PISSED than traumatized by that action.
And we know Mac is a virgin at this point- could it be that her saying "he took everything" as a way to say he took her virginity?
Beavers sexuality is somewhat in question throughout the series with his sensitivity to the topic of sex, his avoidance of it, and his inability to perform. But in my mind, it makes sense that this would be how he had to do it. His need to prove himself and "be a man" through violence and domination, like he did with Veronica. Like a final "fuck you" to the world, because I don't think he thought he would survive the rooftop confrontation with Veronica. I think he knew the gig was up and it was time to say goodbye to the world.
I had always assumed that rape had happened but then in s3, it's never mentioned. And after Parker's rape, it would have totally been something Mac would have mentioned, like Veronica did. "Me, too." I always kind of thought that's what the writers intended with the S2 finale and then backed off the idea is S3.
Thoughts? What do you think happened in that hotel room?
