They ruined the surprise that Lydia isn't dead by putting her in the promo 🤷‍♀️

I LOVE the actress that plays Hannah/Agnes

The scene at the dentist upset me more than seeing the dead bodies hanging or the guy who lost his hand

Seeing June made me insanely happy even though I have very mixed feelings about her character

The rituals they put the girls through after getting their first period make them look even MORE cult-y. And that's saying something

I actually really appreciated the scene we got with Agnes and her stepmom explaining period products to her. Also when she told her (albeit in an unkind way) about the hormonal side of menstruation and the still-developing prefrontal cortex

Commander Judd looks and sounds too much like Fred. When we were introduced to him without a clear shot of his face, i got scared for a second.

Speculations:

I had a feeling since episode 1 that one of the girls is going to turn out to be queer. At first I thought it would be Shu but now I'm thinking it'll be Becka.

After that dentist scene and all subsequent scenes where Becka was moody, I 100% believe she's being sexually abused by her father.

From the first flashback we get with Daisy where we see her naturally curly hair, I immediately yelled, "THAT'S CHARLOTTE!" and then a second later, "JANINE BETTER NOT BE DEAD!" I'm just hoping that if that is Charlotte, hopefully Janine just trusted her with a Mayday couple. But honestly Daisy's probably one of the kids from the plane of saved children. And then we'll find out she was the "daughter" of a minor character.

I've been dreaming of Boston. Not Boston now, and not Boston from before. It’s another Boston. It’s the way things would be if there was never a Gilead.

Nick was asked by Serena to rape June and he did. He had the choice not to. But it compromised his cover as an eye. So he elected to rape someone. To protect himself.

Nick could have helped get Handmaids out of Gilead. He didn't.

He could have stopped supporting the systems that oppressed and imprisoned women and he didn't.

He didn't have to rat out the women at Jezebels and get them gunned down to save himself. But he did. Because he valued his own life over theirs.

Yes he fell in love with June. But he was never a good man. He was just nicer than other commanders in Gilead and June needed someone on her side.

He was the perfect man for her when she was imprisoned and stripped of her autonomy. That alone should tell you a lot.

The story is making the point that just because someone shows you human decency and politeness and bare minimum kindness doesn't make them a good person.

The men who benefit from the systems that oppress women and do nothing to dismantle it? Are supporting those systems continued existence.

Nick had the power to make real change. He was an eye. He had Intel that could have saved lives. He chose not to use it unless it meant he got to keep June. Like she was a prize he wanted.
