![]() Julie Dretzin has been brilliant as Eleanor, but in recent episodes the character has morphed into a cliched mad truth-teller, as confused or as wise as each scene required her to be. She was, as the episode’s title suggests, the sacrifice needed to save those children – in June’s mind, at least. But it is far more likely that June allowed her to die because she was simply too much of a risk to their escape plan in her unmedicated state. Perhaps June thought she was simply carrying out Eleanor’s wishes – after all, as Eleanor pointed out this week, there is no escape from Gilead for her and Lawrence, even if they make it across the border. “He feels like if she knows the truth about him, she won’t look at him the same way anymore.We may have cheered June on when she killed the thoroughly villainous Commander Winslow in self-defence, but standing by and allowing Eleanor Lawrence to die from an overdose was another level of crime altogether.

IS RITA STILL PART OF THE MARTHAS’ UNDERGROUND NETWORK? | When June and the martha were reunited in D.C., Rita made it clear that she felt sympathy for Serena’s plight. This is a choice he made, but what’s sitll inside him, what are those urges, and what comes out? We thought that was another layer to play, particularly in Chris, who’s so masculine that it’s pretty fascinating.” It’s absolutely within him, which is also the fascination of what’s going on. “We later see his sexuality toward a woman… We talked a lot about how much we lean into that. ![]() There’s this fraternity and connection that he has with Fred,” Littlefield says. IS COMMANDER WINSLOW GAY? | “He might be. “We wanted it to be different from the world that we had presented for the first two seasons,” he adds, “and I think that worked very well.” HOW DO D.C.’S HANDMAIDS EAT? | “It can be taken off,” Littlefield tells TVLine about the metal rings appliance that Washington’s handmaids are forced to wear through their mouths.
