I am so disappointed. Thought last week would be the start of her escape and no she is back at the bloody waterfords again!!! How many times has she nearly escaped now. So frustrating.

What's the significance with Nicole?

Must have been Serena's choice of name

Nick / Nicole

Oh nichole...Nick..! Hasn't thought of that!

Is that not the claustrophobia of it all though? She really can't escape the Waterford's (just as she can't escape the regime).

There was a whole lot of Gilead speak in there! It's like they use it when they can't say what they need to.

Crikey. At first I thought she was going to be shipped on to the next set whilst her bits were still in bits as it were.

He said mother knows best to be spiteful and for once, well I didn't like him but I do like how they know exactly how to jab each other when they both deserve to be jabbed. I still can't like either of them after the rape to get the baby out.

Poor June.

I did like Aunt Lydia just then. I'm kind of torn with her. She's not good and if we see Gilead fall in her lifetime she deserves her punishment with the rest of them but I have moments of really liking her and I like her face.

Was the guard on the door Isaac?

They called her Nichole!

I'm guessing that was Serena's choice. Passive aggressive dig at Fred.

I hadn't thought of that either.

She’s named after her father - Nick @HannahnotAgnes

Thanks x.

Is that Josh from the west wing?

Poor Emily. He's scary..

This is heartbreaking.

So... back with the Waterfords. It's all getting a wee bit deja vu. Anyone else longing for a change of scene?

I think that’s the point. There is no escape. Its a hopeless existence. Wash rinse repeat.

Commander Lawrence is going to be Mayday isn't he?

I’ve been waiting for Bradley Whitford’s character for ages! I read an article announcing his casting before the season started and I was starting to wonder if I’d imagined it!

Oh dear. Not sure whether that was good advice for Eden.

I think "Good old days" was ironic btw

Cmdr Lawrence seems odd.

Love Rita so much 😁

I wondered if Nicole was named to taunt nick. Waterford really did enjoy making him hang that portrait.

Loved that scene between June and Nick

Blimey. Didn't think Eden had it in her...
