This recap of Episode 7 of THE HANDMAID’S TALE is chocked full of {SPOILERS}. ***If you haven’t watched yet, go do that and then come back here. ;)*** This episode opens on the car crash we saw in the first episode.

And she’s finally won, after 34 games. “I got lucky,” she says. “Maybe you’re just learning my weaknesses,” he replies. Indeed she is, Fred old boy, indeed she is.
