1:07 – It’s Scarlett and Roxy’s favorite episode of the season! It’s shot like a horror movie and it’s harrowing to put yourself in Luke’s circumstances.

2:52 – We debate who’s perspective we’re seeing in this episode. Is it June imagining how he got out or is it reality?

8:10 – We’re drinking La Croix des Loges Anjou Blanc

11:27 – It’s a Luke bottle episode! The episode starts with a scene we’ve seen before but this time we’re going to see it play out through Luke’s perspective

15:22 – This scene really puts a spotlight on the 2nd amendment rights argument that you need to be armed when the government turns against you. Turns out those guns are not going to anything against a van full of machine guns. 

20:29 – It’s very fascinating to see the horrors of Gilead through the eyes of someone who is not a handmaid. So many atrocities are directed at the cisgender woman but that isn’t the only group of people who are hurt under this totalitarian regime.

24:54 – Luke was quite rational and logical as he navigates his continually changing circumstances. Until he’s mumbling along the main road. A road Luke? It’s not very covert for a man on the run. 

32:25 – Once he gets to this abandoned neighborhood he finds refuge and falls asleep.

33:55 – We get a flashback of Luke and June in the car, beginning their escape. This scene really lays the groundwork for Luke’s guilt of not being able to protect his family. 

40:45 – We meet Whitford at the docks. This entire scene gives us so much insight. We hear the first mention of what June’s mother did for a living. We find out vasectomies have been illegal for a while. And we see that, while it took a bit too long, Luke is beginning to understand he has to say goodbye to everything his life was. 

51:35 – June has a much better handle on the situation than Luke does
