I’m through the first 2 that were released. The first episode was kinda slow (which is fine). But the second one was heavy

It took me until the second episode to fully remember what was going on. The ending on ep 2 feels like the theme for this season.

Serena knows exactly what she's doing. Baiting June right up.

Finished episode 3.
I was surprised to see Serena sent back to Toronto. I thought they would marry her off. I am hoping her being in Toronto will help June get her revenge/Hannah back. Then a part of me feels it will bring sympathy and more supporters.
I wonder what the council is upto now. Nick and Joseph look like they're up to something.
Also, what did Ester poison them with?

bustedbiscuits I was surprised at the Serena move too, but the council probably thinks she's not compliant enough and if she becomes a problem they just cut ties

Is anyone getting a little vibe of Serena being treated like a handmaid in this household she's staying in?

Is anyone getting a little vibe of Serena being treated like a handmaid in this household she's staying in? She’s 100% a handmaid. Between the food, the party where the women mostly talk around her vs to her, the fact that she’s basically a prisoner, AND the juxtaposition of the flashbacks to choosing her hand maid, she’s going to at least be a de facto handmaid. Gilead doesn’t allow single mothers to exist because all families need to be led by a father. If they were going to make her a formal wife, they would have done so by now. She’s also made it clear to the commanders that she’s more trouble than she’s worth - she’s popular with the public and smart but not compliant and that makes her dangerous. If I was her I’d be afraid some one would make it look like I died in childbirth or use the custody/safety of the baby as leverage to keep me in line.

Forcing her to take those pills right in front of the commander. It’s a handmaid without the title of handmaid, which is so awesome because you know Serena knows it too, and hates it. I’m wondering if the couple that took her in is going to try and make her their official, yet not formal in name, handmaid after she gives birth to her baby since they know she can get pregnant. I hate Serena and I wish her no happiness, but I LOVE pissed off Serena, and I am hoping it’s only a matter of time before she loses her shit.

I knew that eye that helped June and Luke was either going to trick them, or he would actually be a good guy and then something bad would happen to him. It looks like we got the worst case scenario of the kid losing a leg and either dying or having a miserable life, along with June and Luke being captured.
Because, of course.

Do you think Lydia is going to divide handmaid teacher duties with Janine, like 95/5? Surely not 50/50, but is a small sharing of power where they are trying to get to with that storyline now?

What's up with Serena's situation? The couple she is living with is very odd. Do you think they'll try to that her baby? They're treating her like a handmaid.

Knowing she can get pregnant I think there could be interest in forcing her to try again. Like handmaid adjacent.

I have to admit, I did not get it/notice Serena was transitioning to Handmaid. I haven't been paying much attention this season, it's been boring/predictable to me minus the first episode.

I don't think they're going to make her an actual handmaid wearing red or whatever. But she is clearly being treated similarly and has no freedom/seems to be a prisoner there. I think once the baby is born the commanders will raise the issue of her being single and try to either give the baby away or force her to marry one of them or create some new role weird role for her that involves trying to get her pregnant again. It could be artificial insemination or something.

I do think the role she plays in this fertility clinic of going to be more handmaid capacity. Possibly taking her eggs?

I agree, it's been a weird situation with Serena's placement and I think Lawrence (or someone else) gave us a clue that they just don't know what to do with her since they haven't encountered this situation. I think they're just hoping June will take care of Serena just like she did Fred.

Anyone else watch yet? TW for SA discussion. I think the Luke and June stuff was a little drawn out, but overall I think it was a good episode. Lots of things that I didn't exactly see coming. Are we spoilering? I always assume I'll see spoilers if I haven't watched yet but I don't want to ruin anything for someone I had suspicions Putnam raped Ester, but I was surprised he was killed. I'm curious what direction Gilead will be going now that it seems Lawrence is taking charge
Hopefully Luke is just dumped at the border and makes it back safely
I was a little surprised Serena didn't overpower Mrs Ryan or whatever her name is and go for a walk, but I also get the stage they're setting. I was surprised they let her go to No Man's Land
I think Serena wants June to help her give birth and hide. She's more afraid of losing the baby than she is of June right now. June showed her grace before, getting Nicole to Canada and keeping her name rather than Holly

June showed her grace before, getting Nicole to Canada and keeping her name rather than Holly I don’t think spoilers are needed once it has aired. Spoilers should only be for information that was discovered prior to the episode release. I am SO happy Warner is dead! I’ve hated him for so many seasons. So is Nick now having a baby with his new wife? She grabbed at her stomach when he said about protecting our children. And a huge eye roll to her saying she was worried what him killing people was going to do to him. I was hoping she was a normal one but clearly she’s missing the fact that Gilead is all kinds of fucked up, and killing the bad guy isn’t going to cause too much damage. The actress that played Ester was phenomenal. Her explosion at Lydia and the rage was amazing. Honestly, I don’t care about Serena/June/the baby. I mean, I would love to see Serena die after delivering the baby, but other than that…. I do agree that’s a good guess about what will happen (June helping deliver and Serena trying to escape). Although, where the heck does she think she would go? Or I wonder if after she delivers the baby, she asks June to raise him, and then allows herself to be captured or killed knowing she shot Ezra.

I think Serena realized she was going to be turned into a handmaid and planned her escape. I don't think she actually killed Ezra. It looked to me like it hit his vest, but I could be wrong. Serena is going to have June help them get back to Canada.

Nick's wife is definitely pregnant. I'm curious how that will play out with her hip dysplasia. Do they do c-sections in Gilead? Wasn't it mostly home births?
Maybe they're setting her up to die so Nick can reunite with June. Or he'll want to burn things down even more from the inside
