Ugh, agree! I literally fast forwarded through the whole thing, only pausing when it seemed like there might be dialogue. Can. Not. Stand. The. Face. Closeups.

And did I miss it: was she hallucinating those interactions? Because the idea that they would leave her in the room, alone, unchained, with sharps, with the pregnant woman is beyond unrealistic. And she tries to stab Serena and Serena is like, "Oh, well, whatever. Guess I'll gasp and leave."

They obviously have no where to take the story. I think I'm done.[/quote]

I think I got more out of the episode than some others in this thread.

Lydia knows that traditional methods of torture don’t work on June, so she comes up with other methods to punish her (making handmaids participate in executions, isolating June, on her knees, for months).

I don’t think the sharps thing was unrealistic; June has had mostly free range of all the houses that she has lived in, with access to knives and open doors the whole time. Lydia knows that June knows that taking advantage of those weapons or means of escape would end with her on the wall. That fact is so well understood that the doctor correctly assumed that June was so depressed she was suicidal when she used the sharp on Serena. Serena could see that June was mentally ill when she had her brief exchange, and was clearly disturbed by it. That, and the fact that June and Serena actually have a bond despite everything, is why Serena didn’t turn her in.[/quote]

In the houses, yes, but not in the red center. She's in that room being actively tortured in the presence of an unconscious woman they know she hated. There is no way there would be no surveillance. [/quote]

What would they need surveillance for? June would automatically be blamed if the baby (forget Natalie) was deliberately harmed, and she wouldn’t get far. The threat of swift capital punishment is all the deterrent they need. [/quote]

Except it didn’t deter June. She compressed Natalie’s breathing tube one time. The second time, she had the scalpel and was going to kill Natalie with that. [/quote]
