Wow, things have really spiraled in this show. It’s heartbreaking to see where the story has taken these women. Remember Hulda, the one Shu always dismissed as too innocent? She’s now suffered a terrible abuse at the hands of a doctor. And Becka? She’s utterly devastated, not just by her own actions, but by the immense sacrifice her mother made. Then there’s Shunammite, who desperately wanted to begin her womanhood, now facing the terrifying possibility she might never be able to have children – and in Gilead, that essentially means a life of isolation and shame. It’s just… a lot to process.
