00:01Previously on The Testaments
00:02We are so grateful for how well you've groomed our girls for marriage
00:06Of course you think it's easy, you've been practicing for months
00:10You still have to learn the opening number
00:11Becca was teaching me the dance for the ball
00:14Thank you Becca, she needs all the help she can get
00:16Oh Guardian, I'd like to have that card read
00:18Agnes, congratulations on reaching this milestone
00:21God hath blessed you in every respect
00:23I look forward to the dance of the ball
00:25I didn't want this for either of us
00:27I don't want to get married
00:29Welcome to our home
00:30Thank you for having us Commander Sir
00:32You all showed the world some Geliac grit last week
00:38Raya won't be married off to a man from the colonies
00:40Will I?
00:41What happened?
00:43She spilled her tea
00:47Agnes found the bride!
00:52Is it Beth?
00:53Of course it's Beth
00:54How awful
00:56And with the ball so soon
00:58My dad will take good care of you
01:00Promise
01:00This is just a mild sedative
01:03Before you know it
01:04You'll wake up with a perfect smile
01:27In Gilead you weren't supposed to think about bodies
01:30Yours or anybody else's
01:33I wasn't even sure
01:34I wasn't even sure what Becca's father had done to me
01:35But the shame still swelled in me like a wave
01:40I tried to push it down
01:42Growing up here made you an expert at pushing things down
01:45Hiding from others was easy
01:47But hiding from yourself?
01:51That's where Gilead really made you excel
01:55You look gorgeous
01:56Thank you, Rosa
02:02Oh, that tailor truly is a man of God
02:05Turn
02:08It's a beautiful dress
02:10I love the one I wore to my prom
02:12It was black velvet
02:14It's dropless
02:17It means no sleeves or shoulders
02:20Anyways, different times
02:22Do you feel prepared?
02:24I think so
02:25A little conviction would be nice
02:27Now, what do you do if a commander offers you a drink?
02:31I decline
02:31No, you hesitate
02:33Oh, I... like... I don't...
02:37He'll either let it go or encourage it
02:40Now, if he insists...
02:41I accept... with grace
02:43But not too much grace
02:44You're a godly girl, not a prig
02:47I know I've been rigorous in my instruction
02:50But I... just... want what's best for you
02:52You know that, right?
02:55Yes, Mother
02:57This is going to be a special evening
03:01You'll want fond memories of it
03:18Gilead had reduced our adolescence to almost nothing
03:21Before this, we were children
03:24And after, we'd become married women
03:27This was our one night to approximate being teenagers
03:31And I wasn't going to let anything ruin it for me
03:35Besides, it was the event that would decide my future
03:39How many people can say that about their prom?
03:41What?
03:51That's their eyeshadowing
03:53I love that hair
03:54How many people can't
03:57try to�� sacrifices?
04:00I love it

04:12We pray for you to guide us, lead us to success, that we may fulfill your will. Amen.
04:20Just forget to smile.
04:29Agnes, I'm so glad that you're here.
04:32If I had to bear openness to Jehoshaphat's prayer circle for one more minute, I was going to screw you.
04:39Hey, you're going to do great.
04:41Do you want to practice the dance?
04:43No, I'm fine.
04:46Pray, you both look so beautiful.
04:49You guys must be dying from excitement.
04:51I'm so jealous.
04:52I hope you get to dance with Commander Henry.
04:54I hear looks-wise, he's very blessed.
04:56No, don't worry about him.
04:58He's a minor commander.
05:00The top commanders don't come out until later.
05:03Girls are so lucky.
05:06Girls.
05:06Girls.
05:09Somewhere out there is your future husband.
05:12Tonight you will meet him.
05:14Soon you will share a life with him.
05:17Raise children with him.
05:18And love and obey him.
05:21As he will love and protect you.
05:26God be with you, my bunnies.
05:29Praise be.
05:31Praise be.
05:32Praise be.
05:33You look so beautiful.
05:42You can do this.
05:45Thanks, Jeh.
05:46All right, girls.
05:48Let's line up.
05:53All right.
06:07You asked me earlier if my friends and I expected to find love.
06:10But what did we know about love?
06:13We expected to find husbands.
06:16And we were told we would love our husbands because they were our husbands.
06:21Not for any other reason.
06:24Thanks, Jeh.
06:54And Lydia, your work with these girls is truly a triumph.
06:59They're magnificent.
08:23Sorry.
08:25Bless that evening, Daddy.
09:14Blessed evening, Commander McKenzie.
09:17Take my daughter's hand.
09:19More precious than jewels.
09:26May I have this dance?
09:28In his grace.
09:47I was dancing.
09:50With a boy.
09:53We had been at turns curious and frightened of those strange beings who would soon become men.
09:59Men who would protect us.
10:02Or hurt us.
10:05Optimism bias is a term I've learned recently from a psychiatrist.
10:10It's when you believe something good might happen.
10:13Despite all evidence to the contrary.
10:30It's an herbal tea.
10:32Smells awful.
10:34Yeah.
10:36Where'd you get the recipe?
10:38My cousin.
10:41What does it taste like?
10:45Lemon head.
10:47And mushrooms.
10:50Hey, save me some.
10:52I'm the one who had to ferment nettles in my closet.
10:54I just want one sip.
10:56I want triplets, Holda.
10:58When Helen had twins, her husband bought her a Mercedes and diamond earrings.
11:09Thanks.
11:21Sorry, I haven't said much.
11:22I've been counting my steps.
11:24Me too.
11:26Probably should have taken the dance refresher class,
11:28but they were showing a movie in the barracks, so I did that instead.
11:31Oh, yeah?
11:32Yeah, it was about a giant shark terrorizing a small town.
11:36Jaws.
11:37You've seen it?
11:39No, but my father told me about it when you went to the beach.
11:43He said it used to be one of his favorites.
11:46You're gonna need a bigger boat.
11:50Oh, right, you haven't seen it.
11:52Do you like your glasses?
11:55Some of them.
11:57I like embroidery and music.
11:59What do you play?
12:00Piano, guitar.
12:02The hammer, dulcimer.
12:04Oh, nice.
12:05What songs have you liked?
12:08The Foggy Dew.
12:10Pachelbel's Cannon.
12:13Really pretty.
12:35Gentlemen, go ahead with us, ma'am.
12:38I'll be right there.
12:39How's next week?
12:39I'll be right there.
12:54God created all of us, but he took his time with you, didn't he?
13:02Perhaps, if you're a good girl, this white might become green and you, ripe.
13:14Don't touch me.
13:18You're a dick, bitch.
13:21Commander.
13:22The mouth of you won this girl.
13:24Don't trouble yourself.
13:27I'll take care of her.
13:31Under his eye.
13:32Under his eye, Commander.
13:36Are you insane?
13:38A little Toronto slipped out.
13:39Lose it.
13:39Unless you want to lose your tongue.
13:41Sorry.
13:42I wasn't prepped for perverts.
13:43Go ahead for Chapin.
13:48Copy that.
13:49All clear.
13:50Look.
13:51You're doing well.
13:53That thing you noticed with the chocolate, it was helpful.
13:57It was?
13:58Yeah.
13:59Can you find out more?
14:01About what?
14:03Commander McKenzie is meeting with the Japanese.
14:05We think he might be brokering a deal for our town.
14:07How the fuck am I supposed to?
14:08Lower your voice.
14:11I don't think Agnes will know anything about that.
14:15Just get close to her.
14:17You get close to her.
14:25So, have they said anything yet?
14:27About me?
14:31You're still working on getting me out of here, right?
14:33You've got to prove you're worth the trouble.
14:36No.
14:45You're not this mess before I knock you senseless.
15:12It's a fine-looking bash this year.
15:14A man can strain his neck.
15:17All right, Judd.
15:19I think these young guns have whet their appetites.
15:22Now let's show them where they will eat.
15:26Gentlemen, those are your future wives.
15:31Let's act worthy.
15:33Shall we?
15:34Of course.
15:36We're merely celebrating.
15:39Gentlemen.
15:41To the women of Gilead.
16:07I think that's our cue.
16:08All right, what is it?
16:24It's kind of a blur.
16:26Are there any commanders who have their eyes on you?
16:28I don't think so.
16:29Really?
16:31You seem to like dancing with that first commander.
16:33Thought maybe you had found a match.
16:36Why are you paying attention to what I'm doing anyways?
16:39Did I do something to offend you?
16:43No.
16:44Forget it.
16:45Then, Bray, why are you being so weird?
16:47I'm sure I just didn't mean anything by it.
16:50Girls?
16:50Look smart.
16:52You're a needed back on the floor.
16:54Yes, Avadol.
16:55Behave yourselves.
17:05What is going on with them?
17:07They're acting so odd.
17:10Hold up.
17:12You can be something sometimes.
17:14They're obviously fighting over the affections of a commander.
17:18How do you know that?
17:20Because this always happens as much making season advances.
17:22The aunts aren't going to say it outright, but Agnes and Becca, they're each other's competition.
17:30But they have always been so close.
17:33Hold up.
17:34God has made you ineligible for good reason.
17:36You could benefit from growing up a little.
17:41I never thought about it like that before.
17:49Do you think that God made you ineligible for the same reason?
18:04For a moment, they had let us dream.
18:09But we all knew who our real suitors were.
18:13Occasionally, you could wind up with someone young, like Penny had.
18:18But girls like us, from the best houses, were matched with the most powerful commanders.
18:24May I have this dance?
18:26In his grace.
18:32Of course, we all hoped we would be the exception.
18:53I'm afraid I'm a little rusty.
18:55It's been a while.
19:16Do you understand?
19:17Yes, Commander.
19:24I'm sorry to interrupt, Commander, but your presence is urgently needed in the war room.
19:29Excuse me, Miss McKenzie, I'm being called away.
19:32If you could take my place with the young lady.
19:36Blessed evening.
19:37Blessed evening.
19:41Blessed evening.
19:52Blessed evening.
19:57Blessed evening.
19:58Blessed evening.
19:59Blessed evening.
19:59Blessed evening.
19:59Blessed evening.
20:14So this, this is what it's supposed to feel like.
20:28Why don't we get a refreshment?
20:32You got a ping for bravery because of the May Day attack.
20:37I just had the good fortune not to get shot.
20:39You did more than that. I remember it very well.
20:43Does it feel strange to shoot someone?
20:46You know, your small talk could use a little work.
20:50To distract you from my terrible dancing.
20:53You seem fine to me.
21:00Perhaps a little.
21:02Something to ease the markets.
21:09Are the other security guys giving me the stink eye?
21:11I bet they're seething with jealousy.
21:13I don't know when I probably shouldn't look.
21:16I could get in trouble.
21:17You know, I think tonight some of the rules kind of fall by the wayside.
21:21Then could I ask you a question?
21:23Go ahead.
21:24I was wondering what you meant by the other people.
21:25Go ahead for Chapin.
21:28Copy that.
21:30Sorry, Miss McKenzie.
21:31I have to get back to work.
21:46Does it feel like another?
21:48Please forgive me.
22:04The men's glasses never seem to be empty.
22:07Not a surprise.
22:09Not my concern.
22:11It is paramount, however, for the young women to abstain.
22:16Lydia, these are not your handmaids from days gone by.
22:18These were godly girls.
22:20They know how to behave.
22:22It's your own instruction that we rely upon to ensure it.
22:25My girls have been instructed to always defer to commanders.
22:29Do not let them get my girls drunk.
22:33Please remind them I'm in charge of their matches.
22:37I'll have a word with them.
22:39Thank you, commander.
22:44Well, Enfidala.
22:46I just wanted to thank you for all your work, bringing this together.
22:50Well, Aunt Lydia is the one...
22:52Aunt Lydia is slowing down.
22:55Of course, it's only natural that she should be,
22:57but I think maybe the time's come for you and I to discuss our vision of the future.
23:03Yes, they are good for the girls.
23:06All praise to the Lord.
23:08I just got it.
23:12Excuse me, commander.
23:15I'm needed downstairs.
23:18Of course.
23:18Thank you, my dear.
23:20I'm going to go to the young man section.
23:37Go distract her, Destiny.
23:38Wait, what are you going to...
23:39Just do it!
23:43Becca!
23:45Chew, I think I'm going to be sick.
23:47Come up!
23:47I don't think any of the aunts saw.
23:49Everyone saw.
23:50Daisy, quick!
23:51Take her inside.
23:52I have to go back before the aunts see that I'm gone.
23:53What's wrong with her?
23:54She's unwell.
23:56She's drunk.
23:57Shh!
23:59So help her.
24:00If the aunts see her like this, it's over for her.
24:02Shit.
24:05I mean, go.
24:07I've dealt with some malicious circumstances.
24:13Irene, how much did you drink?
24:17Have some water.
24:21Did you eat today?
24:25Well, I didn't eat because I was too anxious because of the...
24:32Tonight.
24:34I also didn't really eat that much yesterday.
24:39I'll be okay.
24:42Can you get back out there?
24:49I don't want to go.
24:55I don't want them touching me.
24:58I don't want them looking at me.
25:01I just...
25:02I...
25:05I know it's a sin.
25:08But...
25:10Sometimes I close my eyes and I pray for God to broom away the earth and extinguish the stars.
25:19Okay.
25:22Well, you're more articulate than most drunk girls.
25:28I understand how you feel.
25:32The men here, a lot of them, they're...
25:35scary.
25:39But there's some good ones, too.
25:44Back in Toronto,
25:46I knew a lot of good men.
25:50Guys you could have an actual conversation with.
25:53Real friends.
25:56If that's true, then why did you leave?
26:05Remember what the aunts always tell us?
26:08God loves you.
26:11And...
26:12He has something special in store for you.
26:19They don't say that.
26:21No.
26:22Okay.
26:23Well, they say the first part.
26:30What does it feel like
26:33to run away?
26:36Don't think about that.
26:40Think about
26:41how much your friends care about you.
26:46she might risk getting in big trouble
26:49to bring you to me.
26:53And Agnes...
26:55she loves you.
27:01Not the way I love her.
27:13Okay.
27:15We need to get you back out there.
27:19Ready?
27:23You're okay.
27:24You're okay.
27:26It's okay to feel this way.
27:33I can get back on my own.
27:42And for my next embroidery project,
27:44I'm going to make a dish towel
27:45for my favorite Martha.
27:46That's lovely, Hoda.
27:47I'll be right back.
27:51Is Becca okay?
27:52She will be fine.
27:54God willing.
27:54Do you see Becca?
27:56It's a shame a girl with such
27:59proudness.
27:59Threw it all away.
28:01Hey, what happened?
28:02If my father was a dentist,
28:04I'd be a bit more careful.
28:06The Lord said,
28:07do not go about
28:09spreading slander.
28:10Well,
28:11if you'd seen her,
28:12you'd know it's not slander.
28:14She's headed for the colony.
28:23Shoot, let's go.
28:54You're next.
28:56Come with me, please.
29:08I'm taking you to some commanders
29:10who would like to meet you.
29:12You're soon to be matched
29:13with a husband whose rank
29:15befits your status.
29:16Do you understand
29:17the responsibility that entails?
29:19Yes, Aunt Gabana.
29:21You're a very lucky girl, Agnes.
29:24I'm not sure you realize
29:25just how lucky.
29:28Our natural proclivities
29:30are not necessarily godly ones.
29:32Many a race has been lost
29:34right at the finish line.
29:36The weak may fall,
29:38but you mustn't stumble over them.
29:41Okay?
29:44I hope you can fulfill
29:46their expectations.
29:48Under his eye, dear.
29:51Under his eye,
29:52Aunt Gabana.
30:05Agnes.
30:06Please come and sit down.
30:08Come.
30:22Look into the lens.
30:25Here.
30:28You and I are going to
30:29have a conversation
30:30so that the commanders here
30:32can get to know you
30:33a little better.
30:35Okay, so, Agnes.
30:38How will you exemplify
30:40your wifely duties?
30:47As a wife,
30:50I will serve my husband with...
30:58I will obey him and...
31:11I must be nervous.
31:15Are you?
31:25Here.
31:30You know, Agnes,
31:32Penny thinks really highly of you.
31:37Just be yourself.
31:39And that'll shine through.
31:41Okay?
31:43I don't know if I can
31:44look up to her example.
31:50I'm so happy for her.
31:53Yeah, she's delighted
31:54that the pregnancy's advancing.
31:57Me, too.
31:58I'm hoping you'll come
31:59visit her soon.
32:02As a wife.
32:09Hey, listen.
32:11It's okay you started
32:12a little rocky.
32:14We're all allowed
32:14to make mistakes.
32:17What do you say?
32:18You ready to try again?
32:24Yes.
32:27Okay.
32:38Sorry about that, gentlemen.
32:40Agnes and I
32:40had some technical troubles.
32:43Agnes,
32:44how will you fulfill
32:46your wifely duties?
32:52It worked out for Penny.
32:54She found her prince.
32:57I could, too.
32:59God wouldn't let me
33:00fall from grace.
33:01I had to trust
33:02in his plan.
33:10On Estée,
33:11the commanders are waiting.
33:13It's great.
33:31Prairie, are you okay?
33:35I hear you
33:37may have had some
33:38trouble tonight.
33:44You're a desirable match.
33:47I know it will not
33:48hurt your chances.
33:56Worst comes to worst,
33:57I could just run away.
34:00I'll run away with you.
34:02I could steal one of
34:04Paula's horses.
34:07Applesauce.
34:08Her favorite one.
34:22Aunt Lydia,
34:23I trust your expectations
34:26were met?
34:27Hardly.
34:29I saw more than one girl
34:30plied with drinks.
34:32You failed.
34:34But the commanders
34:36were...
34:38How was I supposed...
34:39You still have much
34:40to prove.
34:42Blessed evening,
34:43Aunt Fidala.
34:54Did he can't say anything?
34:56Not yet.
34:57Maybe you're unclear.
34:59For all you know,
35:00a commander could be requesting
35:00to be matched with you
35:01right now.
35:04How long do you think
35:05this is going to take?
35:06Probably not long.
35:08The commanders always
35:08get their requests
35:09to the ants,
35:10but the ants probably
35:11won't make any matches
35:12tonight.
35:14I saw you
35:15dancing with
35:16Commander Pritchett.
35:18Don't get your hopes up.
35:19You made it quite clear
35:21I was his first choice.
35:23Don't pay any attention
35:25to her.
35:26She's showboating.
35:28Pray, I hope you're right.
35:29Because my mother told me
35:31he's my best chance.
35:35Well, her only chance.
35:39Girls?
35:46Most of you did
35:47very well tonight.
35:48But some of you,
35:49and you know who you are,
35:51have disappointed us all.
35:52Let that weigh heavy
35:53on your souls
35:55and pray
35:55that he may be merciful
35:57on your matches.
36:05Is that what I think it is?
36:06I think it is.
36:07No, no way.
36:08Not today.
36:09It has to be a prank.
36:10No one would do that.
36:12Is everybody here?
36:13Who could it be?
36:22Shiu.
36:24Do you work?
36:32As he blessed Ruth
36:33and Leah,
36:34he has blessed me
36:36the same.
36:37This day.
36:38Today.
36:38And as he answered
36:40the prayers
36:40of Sarah,
36:41Rachel,
36:42and Rebecca,
36:44he has saved me
36:44from barrenness
36:45and emptiness.
36:47By his hand,
36:50may he make me fruitful.
36:52What a blessing.
36:55Praise be.
36:56Praise be.
36:58Praise be.
37:00Congratulations.
37:01Congratulations.
37:25Your mother would be so proud
37:28if she could have seen you
37:29out there tonight.
37:32I can't wait to tell her all about it
37:33when we get home.
37:38Thank you for stepping up
37:39security, Chape,
37:40and it was prudent.
37:41Trust you had a blessed evening,
37:43Commander?
37:44I only wish there had been
37:45fewer distractions.
37:47Commander Weston being pulled away.
37:49Efforts in the front have begun.
37:52It's a nasty business,
37:54but the rebels must be rooted out.
37:59By his hand.
38:01Commander.
38:04Congratulations on your promotion,
38:06by the way.
38:07Making Commander in a few weeks,
38:08I hear?
38:09Yes.
38:10Thank you, sir.
38:12I'm sure that isn't
38:14no small part due to you.
38:15No, don't thank me.
38:16We need men like yourself
38:17and like your father,
38:19willing to rise to the occasion.
38:21Radio secure.
38:23Proceed.
38:25Approaching bridge.
38:26All clear.
38:46Blessed evening.
38:53Garth was becoming a commander.
38:56And if he were a commander,
38:58he would be eligible.
39:01And if he became eligible,
39:04he could be mine.
39:08All I could think about
39:10were his eyes,
39:12his touch,
39:13his heat.
39:16I felt the world
39:17was filled with possibility
39:20and hope.
39:49Take care.
