I was so excited to see Janine! I’m still rooting for her to survive Gilead.

So are Luke and Fred. Serena is Australian.


That explains Fred and Serena‘s odd deliberate American accent.


Hiring foreign actors to fake American accents seems to be common in HBO and Netflix shows as well. I don't know if they get paid less or what but I can usually hear it in their accent. Watching Mare of Easttown, every time Kate Winslet acts excited, angry, or emotional in any way, I can hear the British accent on her words. She's a fine actress and all but I don't understand why shows keep doing this. Do they not have enough content in other countries to keep their actors employed?
lol - plenty of American actors are hired to fake British accents as well. It’s called acting!

So worried for her, though. Hard to see how she will be able to escape now.

I was really thrown by all of the people cheering for the Waterfords after Fred’s outburst during June’s testimony. Surprised that they would receive any support in Canada, even from the Christian sect.

Fred is Joseph Fiennes, who starred in Shakespeare in Love opposite Gwyneth Paltrow.

Is that Alma being kicked by an Aunt, or someone else?

I can't say for sure, but I think it's someone else.


I think it is the farmer’s wife. I bet they made her a handmaiden


I managed to stop the video on a closeup of her face- she’s not Mrs Keyes. I would love to see McKenna Grace in more episodes, though- love her.

When he walked in on Serena praying, and then said things got more complicated for *us*
I’ll be so pissed if he’s really a bad guy. It just seems to add unnecessary complication to the story arc.
And in the last scene, it could have been seen as June warning him not to get tangled up with Serena.


I think he is going to be a double agent or something. There’s something really NOT RIGHT about him and his relationship with Serena.


I'll be really disappointed if this is the case. He is the only character in the series who officially represents the United States Government in exile. It would be a real loss for the storytelling, IMO, if he doesn't remain a faithful servant of the U.S.



I think he's on the up and up. He's just working Serena.


Yeah. His only goal the whole time has been to get information about Gilead. I agree his interactions with Serena have been portrayed as possibly something more but that would be a soap opera plot twist. Yuck.

Most mothers would want to see their second child nonstop after arriving.


that is hilarious. "most mothers" and how many mothers do you know who have been systematically raped, tortured, shot at and blown up? I would say a certain level of underlying trauma would stop anyone from the "normal" responses of a parent separated from a child.
