Serena looks demented.

I’ve rejoined just for this thread.
I think the wolf is symbolic, it’s black, the commanders wear black.

Did Serena hear something or just sense that she might be upstairs?

Serena is almost unhinged right now.

I literally can't watch

Oh my god.

Now Fred knows that Nick is the father.

Can I breathe now?

Wow that was tense!!

A massive grin spread across my face when she found the shotgun. If only!

I need the ad breaks to cope with the tension! Because holding my breath for so long makes me dizzy!

Oh my god my heart is beating out of my chest!

I think she wanted to shoot Fred and get Serena to help her

Thank god for the ad break or my body would be suffering from oxygen deprivation... breathe

Fucking hell I've been holding my breath for what feels like the last 15 mins. This is tense!

HOw terrifying was serena when she was screaming ”offred”?

Again, surely they could trace the footprints and see June hasn't actually left?

Well we know more about Fred and Serena now.

Fred did think that June would be grateful, and he thinks he's the one being kind to her.

Serena knew exactly what was happening with the rape, and she's admitted that everything she's done has been for a baby.

And now Fred knows who the father is. And Serena has said again that Fred is infatuated with June.

For a time it seemed as though they hate each other, then they came back together. They have a weird dynamic. They're like those couples who kill people together that you see on the news.

How would you decide who to shoot of those two?

So Gilead isn’t the whole of the USA?

I'm sure someone on here said that Alaska wasnt part

Bloody hell I think I just held my breath through most of that. They really know how to ratchet the intensity up.

Love them or loathe the the acting from those 3 is incredible.

I’m glad she didn’t shoot. She can’t trust Serena.

I thought that since they were both so close together she was hoping to hit them both. I don't know a lot about guns but that was a big gun. It might have harmed both of them since they were right in each others faces.

Anchorage isn't and that's Alaska isn't it?

They lost themselves in that argument, they could have found her if they didn't get distracted but thank god they did. Get in the fucking car June. Take the gun and go!

That was the most tense and incredibly filmed 5 mins of tv I have ever watched

I was re watching series one and I thought they said there were only 2 stars left on the flag implying only 2 states of America left and Anchorage was the capital but I could be wrong as I find it all so tense watching it sometimes I have to distract myself

I'm confused about the house. Have the family moved? Why are the clothes and stuff still there? Have they been arrested? But Hannah's Martha didn't say she's be moving to a new family. Why is it deserted?
