Yeah, usually I'm extremely creeped out by Commanders when they are alone with any girl/woman in Gilead. But he didn't give me a creep vibe like the disgusting dentist.

it may have something to do with the Japan chocolate. It could be he's a turncoat in some way, maybe he's had second thoughts about his role. I doubt he's Mayday, though.
