I think this ep did a great job of highlighting just how warped and abusive this world is for the handmaidens and really all women ( but mostly the handmaidens). I completely felt the resolution at the end. It's crazy that now we are starting to see that there are degrees of cruelty to the women who run the households. It's all bad for sure, I mean these women are essentially being raped monthly, but some wives in blue are worst than others.

Excellent show.
