Omg ofgeorge's mouth Sad

sawyersfishbiscuits · 14/07/2019 21:38

I was just thinking they hadn't been quite so physically evil this series and then...

TheSpottedZebra · 14/07/2019 21:39

Her mouth wasn't stapled utterly shut, was It? So I guess liquid nutrition and a straw.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 14/07/2019 21:39

The door went and I missed that scene! I'll have to watch it on +1. I was finding the mouth coverings sinister but missed the reveal...

Applesandpears23 · 14/07/2019 21:40

That is so vile!

viques · 14/07/2019 21:40

Wow, something for aunt Lydia to think about there. I bet there are a few Handmaids she would nominate.......

As someone said, how do they eat.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:41

This is awful.

viques · 14/07/2019 21:41

I typed above before she saw the mouth. To be fair she looked shocked.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:41

What's Nick doing there?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:42

Shit, I'm scared.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 14/07/2019 21:43

I've forgotten - does Fred know or suspect that Nick fathered Nicole/Holly?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:43

I'm sure he knows but wasn't told outright (I don't think).

Destinysdaughter · 14/07/2019 21:43

That huge statue of eagle wings is v reminiscent of Nazi Germany...

Likeazombi · 14/07/2019 21:44

Did he call nick commander?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:44

Yes, Nick is a commander now.

TheSpottedZebra · 14/07/2019 21:44

Nick is a Commander now? But set to go to the Front?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:45

Serena is going to get June's mouth wired shut if she doesn't stop talking!

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:47

Very Nazi-esque!

Destinysdaughter · 14/07/2019 21:48

I'm confused, who is June talking to??

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:49

The delegation from Switzerland, who are acting as intermediaries with Canada.

TheSpottedZebra · 14/07/2019 21:50

June is talking to some peoplefrom switzerland, who are acting as intermediaries between Gilead and Canada.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 14/07/2019 21:52

Also how does Fred not know/suspect OfFred/Of Joseph was responsible for getting Nicole/Holly out of Gilead? Surely he's put 2 and 2 together? Did the house fire distract from everything?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 14/07/2019 21:53

Surely Gilead would have bugged the room.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:53

How annoying - he knew the commanders name without June telling him. I hate mistakes like that!

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:54

Good point @TheCountessofFitzdotterel - I hope not!
