Come on nick.. Your the adult.. Talk to her,

It’s moving a bit slowly to.

I think that's the longest conversation nick and Eden have had apart from their vows

This is awful. I wish nick would give her a hug or something she’s just a kid

Bloody hell. We wondered if they would crush the positivity of last week, I guess that answers that question.

For what just happened to June...I have no words

Eden and Nick, hell hath no fury....

And the dogs trust advert song is Janines song this is all too much 😢

Seriously Nick can handle this better. Just talk to her!

I actually feel for nick. He's an eye, probably trained to be emotionally detached. He is not equipped to deal with this

Oh poor Eden. She actually tried to stifle her cries when he told her to stop crying. She is so conditioned to obey her husband.

That truly was horrific. I don’t think it was gratuitous though. I think we needed to be reminded of the true horrors of Gilead and just how evil Fred is. Margaret’s Atwood has said time and time again that everything is taken from real life and women are raped my violent men everyday. It is a reminder (once again) of just how dangerous misogyny is.

I'm a bit in shock from all that

I know Serena held her down before when she was raped but to rape her to induce labour takes it to another level of disgusting. She really knows now bounds. It's vile.

Urgh!! How Is she not screaming at him being near her??

if June told Lydia

The Handmaids collectively participated in an execution of a man who'd raped a Handmaid in series one

Unfortunately she can't testify against Fred she's not allowed, she'd need a second witness as Serena joined in she's not likely to help

Oh god what is this... I wouldnt trust Fred, is this going to be awful

He kissed her!!? poor June!

Please say it's to see Hannah!!! Take Hannah and June and drive nick just bloody drive!!

Please tell me he’s going to get her out of there

Come on guys, take the chance and run

What the fuck is going on with the commander. One minute he is raping her the next planning a surprise

Surely this is their chance to escape??

Hey Hannah run!!!

Surely they know that she needs to feel relaxed and safe if she’s to go into labour

Oh god Hannah. I don't think I can watch this

This is traumatic
