I caught up with this episode last night. It kind of had a feel of earlier series episodes. It felt as there was more action/tension.
Even though it's grim, I was wondering if they'd ever show a Salvaging on the TV programme. I remember that scene very vividly from the book.
I liked the scenes with Serena at the ball. Her discomfort was obvious around the other wives; she tried to make a joke but it was completely brushed aside. I agree it was a bit like a more "PG" version of Jezebles with music, men for the Wives to look at. Serena talking about viewing the art which was saved. No-one else is allowed to see it, other than those in positions of power. I wondered whether Fred was going to order from the menu for her, or if she'd be given a different menu with photos on 
. I think it was the Argentine Tango they danced. I think I'm right in saying it was a bit of a taboo dance when it originated? And from the Wikipedia entry: "Its lyrics are marked by nostalgia, sadness, and laments for lost love."
The bit where Serena looked around the house chilled me. I also wondered what had happened to the occupants. The way the other wife dismissively said "they were Baptists" made me wonder if there is something Baptists believe that goes against Gilead's regime and the parents were executed. It certainly looked as though they left everything where it was; no time to pack anything. It also reminded me of the offices June hid in during Series 2 - the way pre-Gilead life had been suddenly cut off.
I liked the connection between Moira and Emily. I guess it makes sense that only survivors would truly get what the other one is going through. Even Luke doesnt really get it and he went through the terror of escaping. I hope they don't have an affair though.
But the stuff with June going to try to see Hannah was ridiculous. What if she had got through the doors, what then? I know she thought an ally was guarding the door, but even that was no guarantee of rescuing Hannah with zero plans in place.
Someone said up thread that June's rash decisions were starting to make her really unlikeable/unsympathetic. I agree. This is not the first time her actions have caused others to end up on the wall (the family who hid her in series 2 as well). She is incredibly selfish, although I understand her motivation.
