Eleventh Hour, ep 113

When Rachel brandished her retractable baton and smacked the culprit around - wow, that was hot! Not the violence per se, the weapon. And no, I'm not talking in Freud's "phallic symbol" terms. It's the perfect weapon for a woman. With little skills, she can beat a much larger and stronger man with it and it's small enough to hide in a larger purse. I don't know if it's a legal weapon or not, but if I was writing an original story with a main female heroine, this baton would be her weapon of choice - just like it was Vicki Nelson's in the TV show Blood Ties.
