Episode 4 talks about the superstition of the little bride in the cake being the indicator of who would get married first. Who kisses the bride first in episode 10? Symbolic marriage. Agnes still got married first!

my body knows something that i don’t and i can’t get her to talk to me

Becka being the first to scream "by his hand!" in the assembly scene early in the series was really nice foreshadowing for her killing her father in God's name and I think the reason why she believes in divine justice so firmly is she has experienced class divide firsthand because she isn't the daughter of a Commander. Religion is often used as a coping mechanism for people who are struggling as there is this belief God will view everyone equally when society does not, especially as Christianity teaches Jesus as uplifting the poor and otherwise marginalised and scorning the greed of the rich. Becka grew to love assemblies as it showed her everyone receives divine justice no matter how powerful they are, and she decided to employ that upon learning her father was harming young girls because she wholeheartedly believed that was the Gileadian promise—girls would be protected from dangerous men 'by his hand' even though they are powerless because God protects the weak.

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no "i'm just a girl tee-hee" stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative

A detail I missed in previous watches, in season 4 episode 1 of Halt and Catch Fire, Gordon punches a number into a touch tone phone and it's improbably melodic... and I realized it's the lullaby Donna sings. This show keeps finding new and inventive ways of ruining me
