We have just watched episode 9 of season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale (this cannot be the penultimate episode of the season). It’s called 'Allegiance' and it was written by Eric Tuchman and directed by Bradley Whitford (perhaps you've heard of him): June and Luke prepare for a rescue mission. Serena experiments with new tactics to have it all. There's so much to discuss within this episode, let's get to work. Don't forget to tell us your own thoughts and theories.
