I've been another board where a debate is raging about the Ward/Lorelei encounter in a Vegas hotel room. The majority leans towards rape:  Ward was under Lorelei's mind control when they had sex; in short, he was not in full control of his faculties to give consent. The other argument is Ward had some control; he was not incapitated; he was physically aggressive with Lorelei; therefore not rape. I originally said "ewww" to the business, but I can see the sexual assault argument. I think people go to the stereotype that a man can't be raped. And if the writers don't want to deal with a macho character being taken advantage of by a woman, then they need to go to the other side and have Ward face the consequences for endangering the team because his brains are south of his belt bucket. (Fitz goes down too.)
