The Handmaids’s Tale S5E7

Sorry about not doing a review on last episode I was busy then I forgot about it, if you want to hear my deeper thoughts on that let me know…. Other than that long live Nick & Joseph I might die for writing this post but I just have to…

Okay so pretty much this episode was sort of a parallel to when June gave birth to Nichole/Holly.

I think it’s funny that both women go into labor when escaping. They are out in the middle of nowhere. And in the end they both have their babies taken from them.

I’m not gonna say who is right or wrong morally at the end there, that’s between Luke and Serena fans cause they understand more about them than I.

All I’m gonna say is karma

From June’s look of horror she will not be pleased with Luke next episode (have not seen sneak peek of the next ep so I’m guessing).

People might get mad at me for throwing this around but Serena and Junes relationship is NOT healthy. This episode proves it. Yes, they are both women; yes, they both been oppressed by the same man. However Serena has also oppressed June with no remorse.

She has locked June in her room, beaten her, helped rape her in ceremonies, gave the idea and helped rape her to get June into labor, and emotional abused her.

Do they have moments of understanding and friendship with each other, yes. But does this change Serena, no. She keeps messing with June and it makes June confused and doesn’t know whether Serena is good or bad. So when the show tries to make them seem like they’re the same person is complete bullshit to me.

The show might be trying to show something else but to me these parallels and oh look we understood each other in these flashbacks are trying to get me to like Serena. Like no I don’t trust her anymore cause I have tried to understand her then she does something to ruin that.

I understand that Serena’s been through shit but that does not excuse her to treat others badly.

It doesn’t feel right that Nick gets a bad rap when we clearly see Serena show signs of being the evil person and showing how really Serena and June have the unhealthy relationship. But no everyone throws it on Nick like tf??

lil edit: I rewatched this episode and I wanted to add that I believe June does know Serena is a bad person. Hence why she doesn’t take Noah, she doesn’t want to be her. She’s giving up on revenge and taking a step forward. From here on June might be able to focus more on her daughters instead of this battle with Serena.
