This week they lighten things up a bit with a super fun party for all the handmaids. HAHAHAHA, just kidding, this episode is totally messed up just like the rest of them. Tensions are running HIGH as a group from Mexico, including the Mexican ambassador are paying a visit to Gilead. Seems they want to do a little trading...but with what and for what.....or whom? Yeah, its like that. We get more fun back story on Fred and Serena in the pre-Gilead era as it starting to look more and more like Serena is the brains behind this operation. Its a super creepy episode complete with poor Janine getting left of the party, Serena Joy asserting herself and saving (depending on your perspective) the day. More Nick things happen as Nick is at his most Nick here in this episode. PLUS! BOOM! Guess who's alive....
“Better never means better for everyone,” ....the understatement of the season.
The commander starts his quick turn to creepy-town as we get more into his character. Offred and Nick and Serena make a little plan on the side to ... double the efforts... with last weeks reveal that Fred is most likely shooting blanks...as are the majority of the men! We get some more flashbacks to June and Luke's relationship origin. All this and a brief reunion with ....the artists formerly known as OfGlen....currently known as Ofsteven....always known as Emily. Plus some interesting and unexpected perspective from Fake Fake Ofglen.
Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum, learn it, live it know it. Offred is losing it as she has been banished to her room for almost two weeks by evil queen Serena Joy. She finds some solace in a mysterious message written in her closet, but what does it mean and what happened to the person that wrote it? We take the express lane to creepy town with the doctors visit and Nick turns in a very, very.....Nick performance as Offred cracks in the limo. Things continue to get interesting during the ceremony...and....more Scrabble! Plus...more bad times at the Red Center and we witness Moira and June's attempted escape.
A powerhouse of an episode! Alexis Bledel turns in a career performance without saying a word. Join us as we cover all the truly disturbing events of this episode culminating in of the most effecting final scenes of a TV show in recent memory.
