Summary

We have just watched episode 4 of season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale. It's called 'Dear Offred' and it was written by Jacey Heldrich and directed by Dana Gonzalez. June works to overcome her violent instincts. Meanwhile Serena settles into her new role in Toronto, and Aunt Lydia helps Janine with her recovery. Let's get to work dissecting every moment of this episode, from the subtle differences between ecru and eggshell, to our relief at seeing Luke and June's sexy times.
