This is the thread for Episode 9 (season 3) of The Handmaid's Tale.

We are watching on Channel 4, UK pace and have only seen episodes 1 - 8 so far.

Please, NO SPOILERS.

I can't believe we're up to Episode 9 already! I hope it all starts coming together in the next five episodes.

Checking in for tonight. Please be good. Only two more episodes for this series so the plot has surely got to move on a bit.

Roussette · 04/08/2019 20:43

Hi, and thanks for the thread

BesselVanDerKolk · 04/08/2019 20:48

Think there are 13 episodes this series @Crinkle77 as @OriginofSpecies said. Hence the sllooowwww pace I guess!

Crinkle77 · 04/08/2019 21:01

Really? I thought there was only 10.

ZazieTheCat · 04/08/2019 21:05

Hello.

Human incubator time.

Ontheboardwalk · 04/08/2019 21:07

I’m getting annoyed now. How can a shot to the shoulder create brain bleeding?

And surely a handmaiden has other 'duties' to perform rather than kneeling at the end of s bed?

whenskiesaregrey · 04/08/2019 21:08

So, is she losing her mind?!

Paradyning · 04/08/2019 21:08

Surely that's a waste of ovations if she just knelt there for months.

notgivinga · 04/08/2019 21:13

This is getting really stupid now why would they leave her in there as everyone knows she hates her. Unless she's hallucinating.

ZazieTheCat · 04/08/2019 21:14

Oh, poor Janine.

NigellasGuest · 04/08/2019 21:15

I thought Janine was stabbed?

DrinkReprehensibly · 04/08/2019 21:19

I think Janine was hit in the face with a tin of beans or similar.

ZazieTheCat · 04/08/2019 21:19

Smacked cross the face with a can I think. Must have opened her eye-plucked-out wound.

Crinkle77 · 04/08/2019 21:20

Please let there be more to this episode than that hospital room. Interesting how the doctor asked how the patient was and was referring to the baby.

Destinysdaughter · 04/08/2019 21:22

Just realised who that rather ayyractive Doctor is. It's the actor who played Billy in Ally McBeal!

GileadWivesAreFashionIcons · 04/08/2019 21:23

I presume she’s been left in there as a form of punishment? AL is not happy with her recent behaviour but she can’t do anything to her physically in case she’s needed on TV again.
Seems to be working.

youngestisapsycho · 04/08/2019 21:24

It’s boring...

DrinkReprehensibly · 04/08/2019 21:24

You'd think there would be cameras on the hospital room.

Invisimamma · 04/08/2019 21:26

Yawn!

IfIShouldFallFromGraceWithGod · 04/08/2019 21:27

It is boring

OytheBumbler · 04/08/2019 21:27

I'm finding I'm losing all sympathy for any of the characters this season.

Maneandfeathers · 04/08/2019 21:27

I think I’m going to stop watching now.

Totally bored of this series and the Hannah story isn’t going anywhere Confused

DrinkReprehensibly · 04/08/2019 21:28

I think pp are right. This might turn out to be largely a bottle episode, all in one room.

TheSpottedZebra · 04/08/2019 21:28

She can't make Janine kill her!

ZazieTheCat · 04/08/2019 21:29

It’s role reversal for June and Janine, compared to on the bridge.
