In any event, the dramatic quality of "Evolved" is dependent on Jacky's casting of young Violet Starr in the leading role of Mariah, Penny's new housemate when she moves in with her sister Riley Reid. Whether it is possible in practice, given the "fore-ordained" aspect of the community's lore or propaganda about one's supposedly intrinsic inclinations toward either extreme remains as debatable as the whole irrational notions behind BDSM in the first place. It is a positive note, and reflects not only the real-life approach of many Adult Industry sex workers (who are called upon to frequently play both sorts of roles on screen) but a logical extension of the BDSM ethos. That evolution consists of her gradually shifting from the status of a submissive to becoming a dominant, using her extensive training in the former role to help her achieve the latter.
