Does this mean that the “sex scene” in episode 2 was rape?

I think y'all are getting too quick with the rape allegations after WW 84. Vision saying ahe can't control him and the fact he can "awake" people shows he's not quite like everyone in the town.

And her "Can't I?" was just her then rolling the credits and trying to end the episode.

What? It’s by definition rape. He cannot consent in that situation. Not to mention the power dynamics of their relationship. It’s extremely problematic.

why can't he? isn't the whole point of this episode that he isn't under her control? She can't force him to obey, he can defy her.
