Slap

Back in Season 1, Aja Naomi King, better known on screen as Michaela, had a scene with mother-to-be Mary Walker, played by Lynn Whitfield. Michaela was supposed to slap Mary, but Aja refused to do so. She told Nowalk that if she were to slap Mary, Mary would have to not only slap her back but knock her out for realism and authenticity’s sake. Nowalk and the writers compromised and Mary ended up catching Michaela’s hand as she tried to slap her.
