Giving her stuff to read.

How did Moira have a photo of her and Odette from before?

What is going on???!

Hate to say it but living serena.

I thought odette was listed as one of the names killed in the bomb?

Sorry loving

What a fantastic contrast to the end of last week and pushing the button on change.

I think Serena is willing to do whatever it takes to keep hold of that baby

Even going as far as breaking the law

Maybe the internet? If they had social media or something it could still be out there for her to find online in Canada and print a copy.

Two women stripped of power enjoying taking it back. I hope Serena gets a good flavour for what's she's missing.

Yeeeaaaahhh!! Yeah baby she's got it!

Serena claiming some power with Fred in hosp, using him as shield for her own agenda...

The reading? Perhaps contain were her daughter is? A wild guess...

I thought Odette was also killed in the takeover? Moira saw the pictures of Odette before the names were released.

Another great episode.

Wow, what an episode. I didn't expect to be cheering Serena on after last week - but boy, has she got a new lease of life and energy.

Why has Moira only just got round to searching for Odette? She obviously knew she'd been rounded up before the war, so why only start trying to find her now? Or perhaps it was too painful to look, as she was pretty sure what she'd find.

Omfg the pen click - holding the same power in her hand as the grenade last week!!! Love it: I was liking serena for a moment!!

Wow! The women reclaiming their names was so moving.

Facebook etc will still exist in Canada. Moira could easily have accessed her old accounts and printed a photograph.

Love the clicking of the pen. The written word is just as powerful as any bomb.

Omfg the pen click - holding the same power in her hand as the grenade last week

I was so focused on the fact she was able to write that I never connected it with the click of the button on the bomb.

I just love the production of this show.

I wonder how Serena knew June was an editor? Did she know June at all before Gilead or do they get any information on their new handmaids?

I still don't trust Serena

I found this episode much more hopeful. The click at the end cleverly echoed the final seconds of last week's episode. Is the pen mightier than the bomb?

Oh god I'm so glad I've found this thread. I'm really hoping Serena helps June get out.

I wonder if Janine’s post-colonies baby will be the shredder, not Angela...

I didn’t completely grasp the timeline with Cushing. Did the bit with the pen happen before or after he was arrested and if after what were they doing.

Would enjoy Serena and June joining forces to fuck shit up to be honest

June is so lucky she was pregnant or she’d have no tongue

I really don’t see how Janine and Emily would have any hope of conceiving and if by some miracle they did, having a healthy baby

How is Serena going to get away with this? Won’t someone notice that “Fred” is suddenly very active at work and giving commands even though he’s still very injured and mainly unconscious??

Good episode though, as someone else said, nice to have much more hope in this one.
