Aunt Lydia- a breakdown! Is it because she lost her sh!t in front of people that matter, that she is frail now, remorse for what she did, remorse for everything she’s done (dare I hope)?? I wonder what it means for her future outlook.

I loved that Serena smokes Virginia Slims type cigarettes. Seems appropriate. Haven’t seen those in a while.

What will the fact that the Gilead thugs know June’s husband has the baby lead to for her? Will they use her as a hostage to get the baby back?

I don't think Aunt Lydia feels any guilt for what she’s done.  She’s a true believer and feels it’s necessary. My take is that she revealed in front of everyone the brutality that it takes to make the system of handmaids work.  This shocked the wives and commanders— not because they didn’t know but because they were forced to see it. And even though this is the system they established and benefit from, they look down her as inferior for actually doing the dirty work. Remember when they all first arrived at Baby Angela’s house, AL started to enter the main salon with the rest of the wives and Commanders and the Mrs. reminded her that it wasn’t her place to join them. I think for Aunt Lydia, that stung. They need her but they don’t want to have to associate with her. It hurt her pride, just as June and the crazy handmaid did when they expressed concern for her well being after the stabbing.[/quote]
