Rita thought it might have been the Commander coming back, and Serena doesn’t seem to question it when she says her husband is home in his office. You fight.”īack at Chez Waterford, Serena Joy isn’t asleep she’s making baby clothes for the child she so desperately wants and sneaking down to the kitchen in search of some hidden-away alcohol. “Do not let them grind you down,” she tells Moira. Offred is shocked at her friend’s reaction: The woman who carved messages of hope into walls and was brave enough to escape the Red Center has lost all hope. The package Alma asked for could be anything, she points out - a bomb, anthrax, who knows - and she refuses to help her get it. Moira demands to know why she’d come back and risk herself for some little spy games. “I thought you’d welcome this little reunion.” After emphasizing they’re not that kind of friends, he makes them both thank him for this little get-together and leaves them to talk while he goes to shower off. “You saw her the last time we were here,” he says, referring to her as Ruby and noting he “knows” her too. When he opens the door to their room, in walks Moira. He’s not wrong, but he’s got the wrong jezebel. He says he knows why she wanted to come back here - it’s to meet someone, and he’s already made the arrangements.

(Side note on that: After they finish, he tells Offred she doesn’t have to keep quiet when they’re at Jezebels, and she “can can be free.” Free is an interesting word choice here, considering Offred’s total lack of control in this world.) That doesn’t fit with Offred’s plan, so she asks if they can get a drink at the bar, but he remains noncommittal, and then annoyed when she asks again after they have sex. Once inside, the Commander tells Nick they won’t be long - they’re just going straight up to the room this time. But they do get that encore, with Nick transporting them. Easy enough? Once Offred leaves, though, the confident facade crumbles - she gasps, the coy smile falls, and you see how scared she really was to try to con him. He takes the bait and suggests they go later that night, after the rest of the house goes to sleep. She goes to the Commander’s office that night and puts on a whole show of saying how nice it was when they went out on their “little adventure,” how exciting it was, and how much she enjoyed the thrill of getting there and what that they did after.
