Your character got waterboarded in last weeks episode. What was your reaction when you got that script? Well, when I first read it, I thought, Its about time they do something to this poor girl.

Thats the main thing, and not to mention that since the towel is full of water immediately, you cant breathe through it. As soon as you breathe in, you take in water like youre underwater.
