Welcome back to Blessed Be the Breakdown! In this episode, we dive into The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5, Episodes 1-5—where the fallout of June’s actions ignites new battles on both sides of the border. As Gilead tightens its grip and Serena seizes an opportunity for power, June wrestles with the cost of her vengeance and the path forward. How do these episodes explore the blurred lines between justice and retribution, freedom and control? And what real-world parallels can we draw from the shifting tides of power? Let’s break it down.
