Now I feel so bad for everything I said about Serena Joy cuz while she did horrible things and deserved karma I had to rewatch the show several times to understand how she developed Stockholm syndrome before the events of the first episode, believed that her husband truly loves her and that he's her whole world, and I feel bad that I laughed at how Serena didn't realize that she shouldn't be sad that he's dead cuz he couldn't hurt her anymore.

I have like a whole analysis in my head on this, but just for now I'll make it short. She wasn't just a victim of abuse, she suffered from Stockholm syndrome as well and Fred brainwashed her. Only after his death she understood that June wasn't just another woman he cheated on her with but that she was also his victim and that his death was a good thing for her to finally move on with a child that she wanted so much.

#before the trial when they're asking her to confirm abuse and she does but says that it wasn't abuse that he's a good man #it made feel sad #that's when it hit me how he brainwashed her to this point #where she remembers every bad thing he did to her and still doesn't understand how bad it is #she is a smart woman but it's not that #she totally got lost everyone taught her to go back to him and she didn't know any better #I'm not saying that she shouldn't be responsible for her crimes but this got me thinking #serena joy #serena waterford #serena joy waterford #the handmaid's tale

Serena: *advocates for a patriarchal society in which women have no agency and are given no more rights than human incubators*

Serena, when she’s denied the ability to conduct any kind of business:

5x10 - Safe (The Episode: My POV)

I was close to publish my expectations for this episode when spoilers released.

I am not disappointed by Nick storylines. I wanted to see him angry and loses control because Gilead would put June and Holly in danger: We got it.

There is something I do not like with Luke. When he comes into a room he did it silently, like he was spying June. He did it in S5E01 when she is with Holly in the bathroom at the end of the episode. He did it in S5E08 when June talks and then sings to Holly. And he did it again in S5E10 when June wears her bulletproof vest.

Regarding the scene where the driver is about to run over June after having run over her arm, I am surprised that he stops his car when Luke tells him: Hey! Stop!

The driver could have accelerated. It does not make sense. Especially as, Luke did not have a gun. The gun we see when they fight seems to belong to the driver.

Later, I do not like how he treats his wife as a kid: June would you go back upstairs?

It is crazy that June has to remind him what happened 7 years ago: We waited last time and we waited too long. And we did not see how much they hated us. I lost you. And then we lost Hannah. This country is changing. America was not Gilead until it was and then it was too f**king late. Luke we have to go. We have to run.

The beautiful song Bridge Over The Border by Adam Taylor starts. Nick and Mark are on the bridge. And I cannot explain but when Nick crosses the border, I found it a little bit emotional. Maybe because he could be free and could join his girls.

The lovely song Late Night Visit by Adam Taylor starts. Nick and Mark are at the hospital. I already said what I think. If I had to write the hospital scene, I would have added a few small details: Link. I also shared a parallel I noticed: Link.

The emotionnal song Not To Her by Adam Taylor starts. Nick and Mark are back on the bridge and finalize their agreement: Work for the US government vs Keep safe June. Nick did for his girls something he always refused to do (once again after SOJ): Go in bed with a government. Because: It is not so easy to get out.

I do not think he trusts Mark but he is so desperate to keep June and Holly safe from Gilead. So the deal seems clear: If the girls are safe, I work for you. The day it is not anymore the case, if something happens to them, the agreement is cancelled.

As you said Neha200021, I also think Mark Tuello is an Osblaine shipper. 😊

Heartbreaking moment, when Nick explains why he never tried to escape with June: She has people who care for her. She does not need me. I am nothing. This moment makes me cry all the time. He loves her so deeply. He deserves happiness.

I will tell you later what are my expectations for season 6.

Nick is a person who was always in self control until this season. It started in the S5E03, at Lawrence's house, when MacKenzie says at the dinner: June Osborne is a cancer. We have to cut her out. He fidgets on his chair and it is not in his habits to show his resentment. But as he said to June in S1E03: Everybody breaks.

I think it is hard for him to believe that Joseph gave order to kill June. He cannot pretend anymore. He tried Gilead shoes but ... he cannot walk with them.

Mark gives to June new refugee cards with fake names. I wonder which new identity she has. Before to leave, she has a message for Nick: Just tell him that I am safe. Tell him that Nichole is safe, okay? She is thinking to Nick while she tries to escape with her husband, interesting. Tuello is the keeper of Osblaine secrets.

I do not like Luke at all but I have to be honest, they gave him a moment where he does something good in the aim to protect June and Holly. To give them the opportunity to escape from Canada. It is something Nick would have done if he had been in his place. But I do not like the fact the writers make to Luke a hero.

What about Rose? Was she secretly hoping to take June's place in Nick's heart? Did she hope he will focus on their "family"? Is he really the father? If yes, I do not want to see him abandon his unborn baby. But for sure, I do not want him to be chained to Gilead because of this. Something absolutely has to happen for him to be free.

I am curious about one thing. Rose says: I do not want to be with you anymore. And he answers: You cannot leave. Does it mean, I do not know, it is an arranged marriage? Does it mean Nick made a secret deal with Commander Wharton? Something more or less like that. Is it about the pregnancy? Or thinks she, she can ask a favor to her dad? Because the divorce is not an option at Gilead.

I cannot believe we had not done with Serena Joy. For me, she deserves any forgiveness ... I am tired of her. Nevertheless Yvonne did an excellent job.

Special mention for the choice of music. Adam Taylor of course 👏 and also:

Bury A Friend by Billie Eilish / Une Homme Et Une Femme by Francis Lai.

As well as Meditation - Act 2 by Thaïs. It is the scene where Naomi and Aunt Lydia talk about Janine as possible handmaid for Lawrence's house after the wedding.
