Fuck

Truly awful, but they're together and thought the same. Little consolation I know

Gilead gone mad...

Nick must feel so guilty.

I actually can’t breathe. OMG

Christ, that was horrific.

Why is Nick rejecting June?

What a harrowing scene. All the other weights at the bottom of the pool.

Watching on catchup now so avoiding this thread till it’s over. Watched the Florence Foster Jenkins film instead. What a pile of poo that was!

I can't believe that just happened. Just speechless.

Poor Eden. I was glad to see Serena looked horrified at the fact they've just murdered a 15 year old child. Maybe this will make her start to seriously think about whether this if the world she wants 'her' daughter to grow up in.

Fucking hell.

@roussette guilt I'd imagine.

Well I’m glad for Eden’s sake that Isaac clearly did actually love her and believed they did what they had to, rather than denying his love to save his life.

Eden was a true believer to the end.

That was horrific.

The jolly colourful bunting over the pool was just sick. Fuck me this is just getting worse.

My heart is racing.

I think he rejected June because he feels overwhelming guilt. If he hadn’t been in love with June he may have been kinder to Eden. But I still don’t think he would have seen her as anything other a child.

Waterford is a cunt.

That was horrific, can't see where we are heading with one episode left though???

Hang on.... the upset lady at Commander Lawrence’s house. That was his wife or a Martha?

I think Nick rejected June because he felt guilty about Eden but also that she forgave him then had the 'courage' to stand by her love for Issac.

He’s rejecting her comfort. He doesn’t want comfort. He feels like shit. A 15 year old girl died.

Yes, agree white that's exactly it.

How Serena's got the gall to get upset when she's an architect in all of this

Sure they could have left Holly with Rita. Poor Eden. Hope that stays with Serena.

Murdering children for being children.

I think it is less nick rejecting June and more feeling guilty and that he doesn't deserve comfort. If he had shown more kindness Eden wouldn't be dead. To then take comfort in the woman he wanted to be witty while ignoring his wife must feel wrong

@cavycavy his wife. His Martha had her eye missing like janine

Sister, I think Isaac’s fate was sealed regardless. Lowly men are ten a penny it seems. Eden maybe could’ve been saved if she repented as a potentially fertile woman though? I’m just speculating, obviously, but I just can’t think of a way Isaac could’ve wormed his way out of that.
