[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did Lawrence propose to Naomi esp since he turned down the same setup with Serena?[/quote]I can’t tell with him anymore. Maybe to solidify his influence and status with the other commanders? Not taking another wife made him an outcast. And Serena is too much of a wildcard for him. Naomi is more likely to stay quiet. Although what a great character arc for her if she started interfering and messing up his plans.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't see Naomi being an "easy" wife.[/quote]

Serena definitely would not be an "easy" wife either.

I appreciate that Naomi is being kept in the story, but this whole thing is weird. I definitely think Lawrence agreed to it to solidify his standing to get his New Bethlehem project through, but are there NO thoughts of appearances in Gilead?

Overall, I found this episode to be kind of a snooze. Apologies to America. I feel like the raid on Hannah's school was unnecessary and plays no role in the larger story. I'm also having a VERY hard time buying that Hannah remembers her name, much less how to write it.

The Serena part was good. I'm happy to see her escape and it appears that there will be some borrowing of the plot of the Testaments. I still need the old Serena back in all her glory.

For all of Nick's insistence that Rose wants to stay in Gliead, she doesn't seem to love it all that much and the other wives are vicious. I had to replay the scene where one of them asks if Aunts are on the guest list now? I finally figured out it was Mrs. Mackenzie. And then the other with the handicap thing. Nasty.

Preview for next week - June is getting tortured again, blah, blah, blah. Janine is obviously being set up to be an Aunt. I want to see a massive Mrs. Wheeler freakout.[/quote]
