[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I clearly am not familiar at all with the trauma that Emily experienced, and the aftermath of processing it, but didn't it feel odd to anyone else that she wouldn't stay in her wife's home and begin the process of re-establishing herself with her family?  I just found it so strange that she'd stay in a hotel.  :-(    The emily scenes broke my heart into tiny pieces. [/quote]

I think at little space upon reentry allows everyone to process emotions at their own speed and helps avoid overwhelming both Emily and their son. It seemed a little odd to me too at first and maybe would be IRL but it helps to illustrate how difficult the readjustment processes would be.[/quote]

I think it's this. I didn't think it was that odd. She's undergone tremendous trauma, I wouldn't expect for her to bounce right back into everyday life and a romantic relationship. I think space gives her some room to process the trauma in a healthy way. She basically doesn't know her son, who knows what's happening with the wife, she's undergone torture and rape for years....space and re-acclimating in smaller doses with solid alone time to process seems smart.

During those scenes, I couldn’t help but remember the time Emily spent in the colonies. Unlike June and Miora, she’s the only survivor of Gillead who has been subject to the toxic waste and the mindF that goes with it. [/quote]

I’m sure that  is one of the biggest things that she has to grapple with upon re-entry to normal life. The colonies were supposed to be a death sentence. I believe that she thought that she was going to die soon from cancer anyway, so what did she have to lose attacking Aunt Lydia? Then she’s immediately swept up in something like a miracle and finds herself safe from Gilead, and the doctor gives her a clean bill of health (!) How to process going from a death camp to hearth, home, and loving family in the snap of a finger?[/quote]

Also she killed the wife at the colonies. Poisoned her. [/quote]
