00:01Previously on The Testaments.
00:03We are so grateful for how well you've groomed our girls for marriage.
00:07Of course you think it's easy. You've been practicing for months.
00:10You still have to learn the opening number.
00:12Becca 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. I 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 Gilead grit last week.
00:38Pray I won't be married off to a man from the colonies.
00:41Will I?
00:41What happened?
00:43She spilled her tea.
00:47Agnes on the bride!
00:52Is it bad?
00:53Of course it's bad.
00:54How awful.
00:56And with the ball so soon.
00:58My dad will take good care of you.
01:00Promise.
01:01This is just a mild sedative.
01:03Before you know it, you'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 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.
01:46Hiding from others was easy.
01:47But hiding from yourself?
01:51That's where Gilead really made you excel.
01:55You look gorgeous.
01:57Thank 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's 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.
02:32No, 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.
02:45You'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.
03:22Before 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?
03:42Oh, that's not a patron.
03:45Oh, that's not a patron!
03:49I'm going to let anything make it happen.
03:51And there's her eyeshadows.
03:53There's her eyeshadows.
03:55And there's her eyeshadows.
03:56Here they are, this year's greens.
04:08You girls will do wonderful!
04:10You've done with those green greens.
04:11Sitters, we pray for you to guide us.
04:14Lead us to success, that we may fulfill your will.
04:18Amen.
04:19Amen.
04:20Just forget to smile.
04:22It's a beautiful gift.
04:29Agnes, I'm so glad that you're here.
04:32If I had to bear witness to Jehoshaphat's prayer circle for one more minute,
04:36I was going to scream.
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.
05:06Shh.
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.
05:39You look so beautiful.
05:42You can do this.
05:45Thanks, Jeh.
05:46All right, girls.
05:48Let's line up.
05:54Great.
06:06You asked me earlier
06:08if 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
06:18because they were our husbands.
06:21Not for any other reason.
06:54Hey, Lydia.
06:56Your work with these girls is truly a triumph.
06:59They're magnificent.
07:39Beautiful girls.
07:41Blessings of us all.
07:43I'm sure you're proud of yourself.
07:46Oh, it was just beautiful.
07:49Beautiful.
07:50Time for the father's dance.
08:02Hi, Daddy.
08:11Ready, sweetie?
08:21Agnes.
08:23Sorry.
08:25Blessed evening, Daddy.
08:32Blessed evening, Father.
08:35Grace was so good, so good.
08:40Yes, it is.
08:45What is it?
08:45I'm so good.
08:47I'm so good.
08:47I'm so good.
08:54Thanks, Father.
08:55Thanks, Father.
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, despite 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 metals in my closet.
10:54I just want one sip.
10:57I want triplets, hold up.
10:59When Helen had twins, her husband bought her Mercedes and diamond earrings.
11:09Thanks.
11:21Sorry, I haven't said much.
11:22I've been counting my steps.
11:24Me too.
11:26I probably should have taken the dance refresher class, but they were showing a movie in the barracks.
11:30Sorry to tell instead.
11:31Were you?
11:32Yeah.
11:33It was about a giant shark terrorizing a small town.
11:36Jaws.
11:38You'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.
11:51You're going to see that.
11:52Do you like your glasses?
11:55Some of them.
11:57I like embroidery and music.
12:00What do you play?
12:01Piano, guitar?
12:02The hammer of dulcimer.
12:04Oh, nice.
12:05What songs have you liked?
12:07Uh, The Foggy Dew.
12:10Pachelbel's Cannon.
12:13I'm really pretty.
12:15I'm really pretty.
12:53God created all of us, but he took his time with you, didn't he?
13:03Perhaps with your good girl, this white might become green and you ripe.
13:15Don't touch me.
13:18You're a dick, bitch.
13:20Commander.
13:22Mostly one, 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, Rechapin.
13:47Copy 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 territory.
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.
14:45Clean up this mess before I knock you senseless!
14:49No!
15:12It's a fine-looking bass this year.
15:14A man can strain his knack!
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, shall we?
15:34Of course.
15:36We're merely celebrating.
15:39Gentlemen.
15:41To the women of Gilead.
16:07I think that's our cue.
16:11I think that's our cue.
16:23Right, 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?
16:47Sure, I just didn't mean anything by it.
16:50Girls, look smart.
16:52You are needed back on the floor.
16:54Yes, Amadala.
16:55Behave yourselves.
17:05What is going on with them?
17:07They're acting so odd.
17:10Hold up.
17:11You 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?
17:52Oh, are you something like that?
17:54You don't know.
17:54Why don't you take my favor?
17:57Come on.
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.
18:16Like 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.
19:30I'm being called away.
19:32If you could take my place with the young lady.
19:36Blessed evening.
19:37Blessed evening.
19:38Blessed 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 pin 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 would use a little work.
20:50To distract you from my terrible dancing.
20:53You seem fine to me.
21:01Perhaps a little something to ease the nervousness.
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...
21:25Go ahead, Verchappen.
21:28Copy that.
21:28Oh, sorry, Miss McKenzie, I have to get back to work.
21:46You seem 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.
22:15Now, Lydia, 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, I 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, but I think maybe the time's come for you
22:59and 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 them.
23:09Yes.
23:11Excuse me, Commander.
23:14I'm needed downstairs.
23:18Of course.
23:37Go distract and test it.
23:38Wait, what are you gonna...
23:39Just do it!
23:43Becca!
23:45Choo, I think I'm gonna 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.
24:04I mean, go.
24:07I've dealt with some less circumstances.
24:13How much did you drink?
24:17Have some water.
24:21Did you eat today?
24:24No.
24:26I 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 we get back out there?
24:49I don't want to go.
24:55I don't want them touching me.
24:59I don't want them looking at me.
25:01I just, I...
25:05I know it's a sin, but...
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 scary.
25:39But there's some good ones, too.
25:44Back in Toronto, I 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.
26:18They 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.
26:41Think about how much your friends care about you.
26:46Shouldn't I risk getting in big trouble to bring you to me.
26:52And 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.
27:26It's okay to feel this way.
27:33I can get back on my own.
27:42And for my next embroidery project, I'm going to make a dish towel for my favorite Martha.
27:46That's lovely, hold that.
27:47I'll be right back.
27:51Is Becca okay?
27:52She will be fine.
27:53God willing.
27:54Do you see Becca?
27:56It's a shame a girl with such promise.
27:59Threw it all away.
28:01Hey, what happened?
28:02If my father was a dentist, I'd be a bit more careful.
28:06The Lord said, do not go about spreading slander.
28:10Well, if you'd seen her, you'd know it's not slander.
28:14She's headed for the colony.
28:23Shoot, let's go.
28:25Yes, yes, yes.
28:41Agnes?
28:44You're next.
28:50Come with me, please.
28:53Agnes, you're next.
28:55Come with me, please.
29:08I'm taking you to some commanders who would like to meet you.
29:12You're soon to be matched with a husband whose rank befits your status.
29:16Do you understand the responsibility that entails?
29:19Yes, Aunt Gabana.
29:20Yes, Aunt Gabana.
29:21You're a very lucky girl, Agnes.
29:24I'm not sure you realize just how lucky.
29:28Our natural proclivities are not necessarily a race has been lost right at the finish line.
29:36The weak may fall, but you mustn't stumble over them.
29:41Okay?
29:44I hope you can fulfill their expectations.
29:46Expectations.
29:48Under his eye, dear.
29:51Under his eye.
29:52Not Gabana.
30:05Agnes, please come and sit down.
30:20Agnes, please come and sit down.
30:22Look into the lens.
30:25Here.
30:28You and I are going to have a conversation so that the commanders here can get to know you
30:32a little better.
30:34Okay, so, Agnes, how will you exemplify your wifely duties?
30:47As a wife, I will serve my husband with...
30:58I will obey him and...
31:13You must be nervous.
31:15Are you?
31:26Here.
31:30You know, Agnes, Penny thinks really highly of you.
31:37Just be yourself, and that'll shine through, okay?
31:43I don't know if I can live up to her example.
31:50I'm so happy for her.
31:53Yeah, she's delighted that the pregnancy is advancing.
31:56Me, too.
31:58I'm hoping you'll come visit her soon.
32:02As a wife.
32:09Hey, listen.
32:11It's okay he started a little rocky.
32:14We're all allowed to 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 had some technical troubles.
32:44Agnes, how will you fulfill your wifely duties?
32:52It worked out for Penny.
32:53She found her prince.
32:57I could, too.
32:59God wouldn't let me fall from grace.
33:01I had to trust in his plan.
33:09Aunt Esti, the commanders are waiting.
33:12This is great.
33:31Prairie, are you okay?
33:34I hear you may have had some trouble tonight.
33:44You're a desirable match.
33:47I know it will not hurt your chances.
33:56Worst comes to worst, I could just run away.
34:00I'll run away with you.
34:03We could steal one of Paula's horses.
34:08Applesauce, her favorite one.
34:17I hate you.
34:22Aunt Lydia.
34:23I trust your expectations were met?
34:28Hardly.
34:29I saw more than one girl plied with drinks.
34:31You failed.
34:34But the commanders were...
34:37How was I supposed...
34:39You still have much to prove.
34:42Blessed evening, Aunt Vidala.
34:54Did the ants say anything?
34:56Not yet.
34:57Maybe you're unclear.
34:59For all you know, a commander could be requesting to be matched with you right now.
35:04How long do you think this is going to take?
35:06Probably not long.
35:08The commanders always get their requests to the ants, but the ants probably won't make any matches tonight.
35:14I saw you dancing with Commander Pritchett.
35:18Don't get your hopes up.
35:19You made it quite clear I was his first choice.
35:23Don't pay any attention to her.
35:26She's showboating.
35:28Pray I hope you're right.
35:29Because my mother told me he's my best chance.
35:35Well, her only chance.
35:39Girls.
35:46Most of you did very well tonight.
35:48But some of you, and you know who you are, have disappointed us all.
35:52Let that weigh heavy on your souls.
35:55And pray that he may be merciful on your matches.
36:05Is that what I think it is?
36:06I think it is.
36:07No, no way.
36:08Not today.
36:08It has to be a prank.
36:10No one would do that.
36:12Is everyone here?
36:13Can you help me?
36:22Sham.
36:24T-Word.
36:32As he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me the same.
36:37This day.
36:38This day.
36:38Today.
36:39And as he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
36:44he has saved me from barrenness and emptiness.
36:48By his hand, may he make me fruitful.
36:51I need you all.
36:52What a blessing.
36:55Praise be.
36:58Congratulations.
37:00Congratulations.
37:02Please be here. Congratulations.
37:04I'm so excited.
37:06Please be here. Congratulations.
37:08Congratulations.
37:11Please be here.
37:12We're talking about this. Congratulations.
37:14Congratulations.
37:25Your mother would be so proud
37:27if she could have seen you out there tonight.
37:32I can't wait to tell her all about it when we get home.
37:38Thank you for stepping up security, Chapin.
37:40It was prudent.
37:41Trust you had a blessed evening, Commander?
37:44I only wish there had been fewer distractions.
37:47Commander Weston being pulled away.
37:50Efforts in the front have begun.
37:52It's a nasty business, but
37:55the rebels must be rooted out.
37:59By his hand, Commander.
38:02All accounted for.
38:04Congratulations on your promotion,
38:06by the way.
38:07Making Commander in a few weeks, I hear?
38:09Yes.
38:10Thank you, sir.
38:12I'm sure that is in no small part due to you.
38:15No, don't thank me.
38:16We need men like yourself.
38:18And like your father.
38:19Willing to rise to the occasion.
38:22Radio secure. Proceed.
38:25Approaching bridge. All clear.
38:46Blessed evening.
38:53Garth was becoming a commander.
38:55Commander.
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 were his eyes.
39:12His touch.
39:14His heat.
39:16I felt the world was filled with possibility.
39:19And hope.
39:27And hope.
39:30And hope.
39:44Bye.
39:46While Brandon.
39:46Bye.
40:00Bye.
40:04Bye.
40:05Bye.
40:06Bye.
40:07Bye.
40:09Bye.
