      Seriously! Ever since day 1, she was making her Serena character so hard to read! With her facial expressions and all. The story made her out to be pure evil all this time, though we kept wondering if she had a good side to her, and when we finally saw her soft side at the end, it was definitely believable.

    Best episode of the season. That acting was phenomenal.
    Also I am a huge sucker for June and Serena being on the same side. Their relationship has always been incredibly complex, with many lows. But they have always had their high moments.
    This episode allowed Serena to have to face some of her many wrongs… and she will continue to face them in whatever comes next. And it also redeemed her just enough to at least allow for the path of forgiveness to be an option.
    Also I just love that June… who has been filled with nothing but hate… took the route of forgiveness. That smile before realizing what was happening with Serena at the end… that was the smile of someone healing from their pain. And it is a nice touch that she could have that moment to forgive and morally be completely sound. Again she has felt nothing but hate.
    Also, I like that June and Serena might actually be okay with one another. Gilead basically promotes women on women hate. The way the wives and just all women treated the Handmaid’s was very much apart of Gilead directing wives attention and hatred onto them. So I really love when the women of the series are allowed to not hate one another.
    And I can’t wait for what is to come.
    Also I get the hatred viewers feel for Serena. But it will always be a bit strange to me to wish a Handmaiden’s life and fate onto anyone. Serena should face consequences… but tearing her baby away from her… never getting to see him again… That just continues the ways of Gilead.

      June needs to learn to forgive so she. can move on and eventually live as a normal person that isn't consumed by hatred and a need for revenge. That doesn't mean that Serena necessarily deserves the forgiveness she gets. The cycle of cruelty should not continue, but it is absolutely so typical for controlling authoritarians to only learn their lesson once they are impacted personally. How many times have we seen anti-gay politicians for example be so cruel, but then suddenly they have a gay child and they change their mind? Gilead promotes "women on women hate" specifically because women like Serena helped create Gilead to be that way. So it is sad what is happening to Serena, but she has a lot more work to do to right her wrongs than simply crying on a hospital bed.

      Throughout the entire series from episode 1 I like possibly everyone else have had such strong mixed emotions about Serena which is what the show wants us to feel because that’s how June feels . On one hand Serena is ruthless and stubborn but then we see her vulnerable and a flash of what she used to be like prior to gilead. June in some ways wants Serena to suffer but june Doesn’t want this cycle of ripping baby’s from their mothers to continue either . That’s why june gave Serena that talk in the barn.. and Serena FINALLY gets it now. The comparison of june to an archangel said by Serena, compelling and true af . June is the representation of Michael the archangel, the Right hand warrior for God that battles evil and reigns Justice on his enemies. There’s religious artwork of Michael the archangel standing over satans body with his sword raised to the heavens, if that doesn’t represent june idk what does.

    The ending of this last episode has shaken me to the core. So much mixed emotions of happiness and sadness and anger and confusion. Such a bittersweet and interesting way to have this story go. I cannot tell who or what I am rooting for anymore.
    And watching Serena cry and apologize for an hour was so damn satisfying. Like just hearing her finally admit that she has been a horrible person is music to my ears.
    This season is fantastic, I don’t care if anyone says it’s “boring” or filled with “unnecessary filler scenes”. I’m so emotionally invested in a tv show it’s not even funny🤣

I only wish Commander "Pedo- Puttnum could have been alive long enough to have her as his handmaid for first assignment. *THEN maybe that would scratch the surface of justice.*

    I think this episode has been one of the best because FINALLY we are getting some dialogue instead of just a sentence or two here and there and then the characters staring at the camera. It's so interesting to hear Serena scoff at basic things like evolution and baby formula. It's important to have stuff like that in there because it shows that this all can't be quickly resolved by mere affection or apologies.

    • @Shan_Dalamani

      I rolled my eyes at the baby formula thing, due to how some commenters carried on when Emily escaped with Nicole. A bunch of Americans commenting on a review channel got hysterical at the idea that Emily would take a baby with her that wasn't hers - they wailed that Emily wouldn't be able to breastfeed her, and what would she eat? "Do they even have baby formula in Canada? That baby's gonna die!!!!!"
      GMAB. Yes, we have baby formula in Canada.

Who cared that the baby’s mother died and will never know her? They were celebrating while a handmaid was allowed to die. Of course, once it was Serena, then she finally got the gist of what handmaid’s went through. Also, let’s not forget, she doesn’t really regret anything she did because like she told June, she still thinks it was all worth it. The countless murders, rapes, tortures handmaid’s and other women endured, and Serena still thinks it was worth it because as long as it wasn’t her. She destroyed countless lives to have her own baby.

    Reminder that Serena didn't lose her baby the same way the mothers and handmaids of Giliad did. An officer came in and gently explained that her child SHORT TERM was with child protective services and that she was being detained FOR ACTUAL WAR CRIMES AND TAKINE A HOSTAGE and not "Sins against God" or something. It's short term. She's not being told that she's just a vessel or not the child's mother in some way.

      One thing that's easy to forget about Serena during scenes like these is her hunger for control. The second she tastes even a little bit of it she goes back to her awful self. If they offered her a high position in Gilead would she really refuse? Even after all this? I think that's part of why she wants a baby so badly. A whole little person for her to have control over. That's why she hated needing June for the breastfeeding so much.

Excellent acting and writing, as always, but this episode was mind blowing. The mix of unexpected sympathy for Serena and still not trusting her… Watching June go through a roller coaster and seeing her pull out of it with grace and compassion… but then she is watching Serena through the window screaming “don’t let them take my baby away”, I think she remembered in that moment all the pain she went through. Luke only did what he thought was right/what June wanted. Also I think he is trying to compensate for his lack of efforts previously when June was in Gilead..

    Ep 7 was deeply emotional to me (seeing brianna, alma, janine together on screen again 😢 & the whole birthing + post birthing scenes), and I was dreading this. Scenarios I thought would happen
    - Serena might loose the baby
    - She deliver her baby and give him to June & surrender to Gilead claiming that she lost the baby and live as a handmaid/unwomen sorta paying for her crimes willingly (keeping in mind that her baby is safe -atonement) and vow that she would rescue hannah for june if she's given power
    - She had her baby, and June would abandon them both at the barn sorta like payback.
    - or both of them escaping together (which i knew wont happen), though it happened, this is extremly brutal (despite me despising Serena). I was ventilating the whole time 😳
    2:26 that dread in her eyes (I felt that in my soul 😢) & that scream in the end (reminded me when June saw Hannah in Gilead for the first time with Serena 😿). This was Yvonne's emmy episode 👏👏👏
    Talking about next episode, i was sure Joseph would move forward with New Bethlehem and moved fast to delete Comm Putnam. I hope his vision is not sinister

    June needs to learn to forgive so she. can move on and eventually live as a normal person that isn't consumed by hatred and a need for revenge. That doesn't mean that Serena necessarily deserves the forgiveness she gets. The cycle of cruelty should not continue, but it is absolutely so typical for controlling authoritarians to only learn their lesson once they are impacted personally. How many times have we seen anti-gay politicians for example be so cruel, but then suddenly they have a gay child and they change their mind? So it is sad what is happening to Serena, but she has a lot more work to do to right her wrongs than simply crying on a hospital bed.

    Serena has to answer for what she did but I really don't understand people saying she deserves to suffer as much as the handmaids. What is this, an eye for an eye? So a rapist must be rape? A murderer must be killed? This is not what justice is about. That's just revenge and this is what supports the idea of death penalty and torture as legal punishment. Justice is about taking responsibility.
