- TriviaJune says (in voiceover), "Someone once said, 'Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.'" This quote is generally attributed to Margaret Atwood, though the piece of writing by Atwood that most resembles it is somewhat different and less succinct. In her essay collection 'Second Words: Selected Critical Prose, 1960-1982', what Atwood wrote was: "'Why do men feel threatened by women?' I asked a male friend of mine....'I mean,' I said, 'men are bigger, most of the time, they can run faster, strangle better, and they have on the average a lot more money and power.' 'They're afraid women will laugh at them,' he said. 'Undercut their world view. Then I asked some women students in a quickie poetry seminar I was giving, 'Why do women feel threatened by men?' 'They're afraid of being killed,' they said."
- GoofsSerena recommends a neonatologist for baby Angela, who is 10 months old. A pediatrician would be more likely to care for an older baby. However, due to the limited availability of certain professionals within the gender role restricted Gilead, this may be the only specialist available.
- Quotes
June Osborne: Blessed be the fruit.
Janine: May the Force be with you.

Featured review
Title: Emmy
Not going to get into details and spoilers about this episode just going to say that it was the as the others are: etter than the last! So this is the best so far!
I want to really dedicate this review to what the handmaids tale has done this second season. They have put done the first season, which even HBO failed to do with the other Massive hit series Westworld. This is the best drama series and deserves for the second straight year, another Emmy for the best drama series. Elizabeth Moss also should win another Emmy for best aactress in a drama, her second in a stunning resume!
Not a hyperbole, my favorite series is Mr. Robot, so when I say that this is the most groundbreaking series in terms of quality like breaking bad, The handmaids tale is it! Between the incredible camera views that sets each frame and scene up perfectly, I LOVE THE CAMERA WORK, or how this series makes you buy into its world so easily and makes for jarring viewing that shocks and awes you. Its brilliant and I can see 2-3 more seasons.
What thos episode managed to do is superb and something no show can produce in our feelings. The high tension, feeling disturbed, to feeling so hear warming and smiling, to feeling like you're mentally being water board (in the best way) to finishing the episode with a smile then thinking what a disturbing song for such a world and moment about to take place.
It's absolutely incredible viewing and one of the best series right now!!!! Take this, please, totally deserved...10/10
