the closest thing serena has to a redeeming quality is that she seems to genuinely care about children/“her” child (the daughter june had “for her”) and the show has recently been forcing serena to confront/be aware of how dangerous it is to be a girl in gilead, even though she keeps trying to bury her head in the sand
anyways this is all to say that i hope this buildup is for something, i really hope that serena will finally experience the modicum of awareness she needs to realize that the best thing for that baby would be to get her out of gilead (with june ideally)
do i think this is realistic? no, but i really hope eden’s death and the fact that serena asked her friend if she ever worries about her daughter’s future means something, i really hope something clicks for her even if it’s only for a second or only in relation to nichole
