Summary

SPOILER ALERT: It's book versus show in this recap of The Handmaid's Tale! We repeat, there are spoilers for *both* the book and the Hulu show in this recap. END SPOILER ALERT.

Kelly & Molly dream of being successful old women as they finish up the book proper in this episode (they'll handle the Historical Notes next week). They beg Bruce Miller to bring back the Doofy Guardian, show us Nick's peen, and cast Drake next season. Keep an ear out for their Atwood version of "Hotline Bling!" They also offer belated Beyoncé baby name feedback, imagine Lunchables of Gilead, admire the Hulu adaptation's "character service" for Offred, and discuss the connection between Tennessee Williams & hot weather. We're so excited to spend our busy lazy summer with you, Redheads!
