Summary

Things are really ramping up in The Handmaid's Tale (because there is only one more episode to go!). Blessed be the penultimate episode: June faces her biggest challenge as Gilead cracks down on the rebels. The Eyes On Gilead team has broken with tradition and watched the episode together, and we are itching to talk it out. What did we just see? What does it mean? And what can possibly be left in the tank for the finale? You will want to listen immediately after watching the episode. Contains spoilers for episode 609 'Execution' (Written by Eric Tuchman and directed by Elisabeth Moss).
