Long before that reunion, the episode opens with a pair of concurrent bedroom scenes. In one, Ray Donovan is having sex with mayoral candidate Anita Novak. He orders Sam to get out of the mayoral race, knocks her out with his gun, and leaves the room, just as Anita leaves the bed she just shared with Ray. When Sam stirs back to life, she calls Ray.

“Will you still love me if I don’t have my breasts? Am I still a woman?”
Am I ugly? Davidtz was diagnosed with breast cancer in and had a double mastectomy as a result, which later became powerful fodder for the show. Through these women, Ray Donovan draws on social issues around breasts, sexual identity, motherhood, breast cancer care, and postpartum depression. A running theme of the show this season is motherhood and all of the complicated issues that come with that. What was the impetus behind choosing such a theme? But this was the right time to start to look at issues that are not just impacting women but how men see women and how certain elements not just motherhood… A lot of the focus I was working off of was the simple idea of the female breast and the objectification of it, the violence against it, the use of it, the confusion around it, and certainly this sort of new high level of medical interference with opinions about what a mastectomy is and is not. All of this is very interesting to me and so they just found their way into the show. Also, depression and postpartum issues, all of those things felt like things that were about time to refract and talk about. You mention mastectomies which has been huge.
