Waterford flipped for what, asylum in Canada? And I just don’t get what intelligence he has that will help anyone. Prisoner exchange would have made more sense than informant.

I don’t think that’s how/when Hot Diplomat would have told them about a deal with Fred.

Plus, why wouldn’t Nick flip and defect to Canada? Is it because of worrying about his new wife, is that what the ring thing was about?

I don’t care any more about Elizabeth Moss’s face. I thought the catholic school stuff was hokey.

Agree, it was really bizarre and drawn out. None of it made sense. Why wouldn't Nick just leave.

I agree. The world-building had gone off the rails this season. The writers are asking us to suspend disbelief but it’s too much.

Why was meeting at the Catholic school hokey? The US right now in 2021 is full of shuttered Catholic schools that are time capsules. I’m sure Canada also has them. Plus, it’s easy enough to believe that it was a Saturday, Sunday, or a religious holiday. With that much snow on the ground, it could be Winter Break or an early Spring Break.

It was probably close to the boarder/near fighting.

It was probably closed due to lack of students - remember the whole fertility crisis?

It looked like a HS. The fertility crisis hadn’t been going on that long, right?

They briefly showed a picture of all women and the school (?) was called Maria Magdalena- Mary Magdalene. Reference to the Magdalene homes for unwed mothers?

I suppose there’s a tiny possibility it was a “school” for unwed teens, but then it’s been shuttered for decades, not just the years of the fertility crisis. Other memorabilia there seemed like standard private school stuff like trophies. I doubt nuns had pregnant teens playing contact sports in the 1960s.

Am I the only one who thought Luke was asking June to trade Nicole for Hannah? That’s why he brought Nick up and suggested to bring his daughter, and why he looked so sad seeing them off.

I don't think so. Nick doesn't want his daughter raised in Gilead either.

No not at all. He just knows that Nick is going to be more easily manipulated if he sees his own child.

I just thought he was testing her, seeing how far she would go to get back Hannah.

I didn’t think this and I don’t think it’s true. Neither of them would trade Nicole, that’s barbaric.

Luke seems like he loves Nichole. The actor said Luke considers her his daughter.

Elisabeth Moss is a terrible director. Too many shots of her face and all held way too long.

I’m ready to see major cracks in Giliad. Slow diplomacy isn’t going to make for a very interesting show.

That makes zero sense! June wouldn’t trade five escaped children she didn’t know for Hannah. Why would you think she’d trade her own baby for Hannah?

I just want a plot summary, I don’t even want to watch it any more.

First, there was a close up of June. Then, Hannah is in Colorado with no way to get her out. Fred and Serena cut a deal to testify against Gilead and tell everything so they will go free. Lots of long close ups of June’s face. Oh, and that very young wife from the farm who was so deeply abused is learning to be a Handmaid with Janine.

And more close ups of June...

And to finish the episode, one more close up of June.

I absolutely thought that and was so relieved it didn’t happen.

It's been like this since season one and yes, it is tiresome. It is not poignant when it is so constant.
