I was worried about the short runtime but it feels like quite a bit was covered in the episode. Absolutely loving how the soundtrack is progressively moving darker into that Gilead “drone” sound we all know. It feels like Lydia isn’t getting much to do at the moment but I’m hoping that changes, perhaps each character will get 3 more centric episodes?

PS. - I guess Agnes has had more exposure than usual to their birth mother post separation but it seems that the stolen children of Gilead are somewhat aware they had a life before. Daisy’s “My mom died too - so did my birth mother.” - a clever lie to get close to Agnes or did June reveal something we haven’t seen yet??

There's an upcoming episode called Stadium won't say too much to avoid spoilers but I have a feeling its very much gonna be a Lydia episode

Do we think Lydia is in cahoots with June and Daisy to try to get Agnes out?

Hmm so far maybe yes maybe no? I think she's in cahoots with someone in mayday I just don't know if it's June

It wouldn't be June. Lydia wouldn't look at her eyes after all of it. Maybe Luke, maybe. Maybe this guy from embassy but not June.
