Let’s get into the moments that got us most excited.
How to Get Away With Murder (in Gilead)
Well, that was easy.

“Doors closing, voices, footsteps,” she narrates.
“Then, boots on the stairs.
Boots, coming.”
(Eleanor barely flinches, by the way, at this near-death experience.)
When they leave, Joseph tells June, “Cheer up.
Fred and Serena are toast and you just got away with murder.
All in all, not a bad morning.”
I’ll be fine."
It dawns on Fred that she sold him out.
And he doesn’t mince words, the rot of their marriage finally coming to the surface.
“It’s always been about you,” he sneers.
“What you want.
I pity the child that has you as their mother.”
At least for now, Serena gets what she wants.
She’s out of her Gilead garb and in a sleek, ordinary outfit that takes Markand viewersaback.
She’s a little bit more at ease.
She gets an hour-long visit with Nichole in holding; it’s Moira who brings her.
Moira isn’t so warm, however.
She reveals to Serena in stark terms that Fred raped her.
She chastises her as a “gender traitor.”
But she still leaves Serena for her moment.
It’s not exactly a pleasant interaction.
Fred keeps calm and asks, “What about your wife?”
and then, “Gilead has changed her.
I’ve changed her.”
Luke, quite expectedly, punches him in the face.
She is not well, that much is clear.
Here’s where the “Sacrifice” episode title gets its meaning.
Will Lawrence bother fighting that while he’s in mourning?
While preparing for the service, he makes clear to June where he stands.
“I kept the border open,” he says.
““It’s hard to argue with a man who’s in mourningeven for them.”
That’s full commitment.
June comforts Joseph, but we know more.
We know she’s made a choice that she’ll be wrestling with for a long time.
