He tries to tell Hannah hes innocent, though.
He tells her that this whole scandal has caused him to lose sleep and 20 pounds.
But none of those have worked.

Hes still wracked with, well, Im not sure.
Doesnt seem like guilt, because he is insistent that he didnt do anything wrong.
This story shuts down Chuck a bit.
Hannahs a real human to him now, maybe.
I saw a woman who was lovely, lonely, and scared, he says afterward.
I saw a woman who didnt want to let anyone in.
Hannah, that is what Im guilty of.
Not pushing hard enough to get to know Denise.
To get to the heart of her story.
Do you get that?
Yes, she gets it.
And now he wants to tell her why he invited her over to talk about this.
She wants to know.
Shes smiling, almost giddy.
He tells her he invited her over because he doesnt want to repeat his mistakes.
He wants to get to know her.
So he launches into some questions: Where are you from?
What are your dreams?
I blushed watching it, simply imagining being in Hannahs spot.
This is what this whole episodes all about, right?
Shes on her back; hes on his side facing away from her.
She apologizes for writing something that upset him without considering all the facts.
He says its okay, hes not angry.
This moment the penis on the thigh, her reaction,hisreaction is immediately funny and also deeply discouraging.
She was understanding and open and he took advantage of that; he punished her for her empathy.
And going back to that smirk: Its remarkable how that single look completely transforms the meaning.
Maybe they would have talked more and, who knows, had sex.
At first, I thought this episode was good and funny and sad.
Then I thought about it and found it infuriating because IgotHannah.
Youre understanding and hopeful and then… they put their dick (figurative or literal!)
I wonder now how this will affect Hannah.
Is she going to be less trusting, more on her guard?
Right as Chuck is flashing that evil grin at Hannah, his daughter walks into the apartment.
How Hannah describes what a non-consensual bl job would entail:It would be very choke-y.
Biggest lie:I may be stupid, but Im not evil, sister.
