Who do we think is having the worst time in this episode, titled Together?
He had it coming.
Luke certainly struggled too, at the hands of some paramilitary bounty hunters.
At the hospital, a doctor informs her that Esthers uterus-harvesting procedure (side note: WTF?)
Instead, she tells Esther things like You have nothing to be ashamed of and Thats terrible!
Esther echoes Janine and calls bullshit, then promptly flies into a blind and totally justified rage.
First, June has to literally sniff out the identity of her and Lukes captors.
(Theyre still together, by the way.)
and ask who she belongs to.
So theyre not Gilead, but theyre also not good.
Be cool, man, goddamn.
And of course of course the guards subsequently beat him bloody and nearly strangle him to death.
As long as were on the subject of familiar horrors, why dont we check in with Serena.
Once, it was Mrs. Waterford cutting flowers with Offred and making thinly veiled threats.
But unlike Offred, Serena doesnt get to leave the house to go to the doctor.
As the appointment wraps up, Dr. Whats more: Serenas thinking she may not even get married right away.
This isnt actually Gilead, is it?

I mean, it doesntnotfeel like divine punishment.
When Mr. Wheeler summons her later, I half expected were about to playScrabble.
Serena seizes her chance.
(Perfect example from later in the episode: the gun.
Why would Ezra just hand her the gun?)
June tells Luke never to give up hope and says she wont say good-bye.
Its the Weve got company of tearful good-bye speeches.)
Are you fucking serious?
Same question here, babe.
My brother in Christ, areyoufucking serious?
Serena says Amen and …
………
You didntreallythink Serena was going to shoot June, did you?
If she did, who would drive the getaway car?
Serena turns around and shoots Ezra instead, which he did not see coming, bafflingly.
Does this mean Janine is coming around to Aunt Lydias punitive worldview?
What would Junes bad therapist say?
We did get a single scene with Nick and his wife, who remains confusing.
Shes also pregnant, so congrats to them.
WHERE ARE THEY TAKING LUKE?
