The episode is a parody of the 1978 NBC TV movie ''Battered'' (previoulsy mentioned by [[Ava Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Ava Willis]] in "[[Revenge of the Male Anchors 5]]"), concentrates upon four male victims of spousal abuse. Chip Fields is the new wife of struggling young Levar Burton. Joan Blondell is the alcoholic middle-aged spouse of the equally bibilous Howard Duff. And Karen Grassle (who cowrote the screenplay) is married to Ivy leaguer Mike Farrell. While a bit too cut-and-dried, Battered handles the issues at hand with intelligence and an avoidance of sensationalism.

The verbal and physical abuse escalates in all six families and Harry, Dan, and Dallas initially make the decision to leave their marriages to go to a a battered men’s shelter (where they get to know one another and become friends that existed with Crystal Donovan).  
  
Harry eventually returns to his marriage to Peggy (eventually divorcing in 1996) while Ellen and Cassandra gets involved with chemical dependency and domestic abuse treatment and Daniel makes the decision to end their marriage after Jill is unwilling to pursue therapy for herself to address the domestic abuse issues. Carter eventually endures a brutal assault by Thelma due to her increased anger about him calling the police and her being arrested for an earlier assault, which leads to Carter being disabled and Thelma getting arrested again and charged with the assault. Thelma, as she sits by his bed in the hospital when he is dying says, “Why in the fuck didn’t somebody stop me.” Peggy, Jill, Ellen, and Cassandra both offer good examples of the apologies and “hollow promises” that abusive women often make to their partners to try to get them to re-connect with them after an abusive incident has occurred. Daniel also illustrates the emotional damage that is done to men in abusive relationships when he tells Paul that he “feels like he went from hero to zero in a year.”
