The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 Episode 8 Preview: Release Date, Time & Where to Watch

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 Episode 8

The story begins following the shocking demise of Fred Waterford. In the aftermath of the Commander’s blood upon her hands, June will be bloodthirsty and eager to pass the revenge on to Serena. However, her rage has her family in disarray and leaves Luke and Moira fighting to contain her rage.

While all this is happening, Serena engages in some intense psychological warfare, taunting June from afar, armed with notes, and the desire to broaden Gilead’s influence in Canada at the same time. We saw it the previous year, there’s a following who support Gilead, and this time they’re much more active.

Canadians have begun to get angry at refugees, with huge banners and marches to drive their fellow Americans out. Serena is still extremely pregnant, but she has been promoted to a post of diplomatic power to try to connect Gilead and the world at large. What better way to show her solidarity than to hold a funeral in public for Fred?

The impact of what transpires here extends to the remainder of the season because June and Serena are on the same side of the fence with each other.
