The Handmaids Tale S4 at C4 pace (no spoilers) thread 3

[MotionActivatedDog]

New thread!

Why would Canada send Serena back to Gilead? They want to prosecute her for war crimes.

7 years. So Hannah is 12. They need to get her out ASAP!

@RandomMess

Why do Serena and Fred get such luxurious accommodation?

I'm sure I remember reading that political prisoners are often treated better than "regular" prisoners.

@FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop

How old is Hannah supposed to be?

I think she was 5 when taken so would be about 12 now

Luke is trying so hard to do the right thing...

Very powerful

@RandomMess

Why do Serena and Fred get such luxurious accommodation?

I was wondering this... and also wondering who is supplying her natty cashmere or silk outfits?! Surely she should be in a gross boiler suit or something! She is dressed like a female Bond villain

Oh my, my DS is 5, it doesn't bear thinning about and isn't fiction either for many people on the world

Doesn't have to be prison like but it's complete luxury!!

The trauma. It's really heartbreaking to see how broken June is. I guess the fight that she had in Gilead was necessary to her survival and now she's only just beginning to process everything she has been through. It's going to be tough going forward.

It is sooo good at showing the agony and the disappointment and the awkwardness of the reunion.
How can she relate to them at all, now?

She is immaculate

Indeed @TheSpottedZebra

She's not part of their world and she won't naturally slot in. At least not for now.

I was far more loved by the reunion with Nichole and Emily than I was the Luke reunion

I wonder if the aid NGO will be in trouble now they know she was smuggled in in that boat?

Rita!

Rita! This episode is wringing me dry

So Emily's reunion hasn't been 'perfect' either.

Christ- June doesn’t think she deserves to be free.

I’ve got something in my eye. DONT LOOK AT ME!!! 😭😭

@TheSpottedZebra

I'm pleased they touched on that I did wonder.

I've heard the show does extensive research on the experience of refugees who've fled from torture and how they feel - I imagine that includes crushing guilt, and a feeling that it was all deserved

Remind me about Oliver? He is Emily’s son that she had before Gilead with her wife? But her wife and son were able to stay in Canada? Do I have it right?

Is serena's baby definitely Fred's? Thoughts and theories welcome

Emily's wife was Canadian and I think it was her wife that carried the baby meaning that he was also a canadian citizen

@Thenameisweasley

Is serena's baby definitely Fred's? Thoughts and theories welcome

I think it must be

Was that June wondering about the paternity of Nichole?
