[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And why did nick request the reassignment? That confused me. [/quote] I think he asked for reassignment because he realized that he was putting Offred and himself into more danger by being in the house with her. He knows he doesn't have a prospect of getting her out again, he has a wife who's already looking for reasons to question him, Rita has seen their intimacy and has mixed feelings about Offred (either personally or because of her handmaid status), Waterford won't tolerate anything that gives credibility to Serena's claim that Offred's baby isn't his, any one of these people who make a report about their relationship that would lead to questions about the paternity of Offred's baby, which surely would not end well for Offred if Waterford and Serena Joy were to abandon the fiction that this is his baby. I also think Nick is more connected/valued than we realized. It was pretty clear earlier in this episode and in others that the Gilead leadership is less and less pleased with Waterford, and I think Nick is privy to this. His "there's stuff I haven't told you about him" might have been to signal that Waterford's even more of a liability than they realize and that if they protect Offred, Nick will give them what they need to justify getting rid of him. Yes, a driver/Eye falling for a handmaid is not what the Gilead leadership wants, but it's been made pretty clear before that sometimes people get "dispensations" beyond what their class permits when it's convenient for the leadership's agenda.[/quote]
