Summary

We have a special bonus episode this week, as 'Home' writer and The Handmaid's Tale executive producer Yahlin Chang, joins us for a deep dive into her episode, and we look back at her themes across the series: She wrote the first June/Hannah reunion! She wrote the murder of Winslow! And now we find out how she gets into June's head for this episode's long-awaited showdown with Serena. Yahlin has so many fascinating insights for Handmaid's fans. We had a ball, and now we want to have her on speed dial. (*Contains limited discussion of The Testaments novel) #EyesOnGilead
