History Recap / TheHandmaidsTaleS1E10Night

* {{Squick}}: The viewer gets an eyeful of Commander Warren's left hand being removed.

[[spoiler:Serena finds out that her husband and Offred have been spending time together at Jezebel's. Offred discovers that the secret package she received from Moira were all letters written by other Handmaids, hoping that their message would be heard and passed along. Moira finds herself in Canada and is now reunited with Offred's husband Luke. Serena takes Offred to outside another house to let her know that her daughter Hannah is safe, but doesn't let her have any physical contact with her child. Aunt Lydia calls for a Salvaging for the Handmaids to dole out "justice" to Janine for endangering a child, but the Handmaids refuse to go along with the Salvaging. The story ends with Offred being taken away in a black van to an unknown fate.]]

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Warren undergoes the surgical removal of his hand as punishment for his sins.]]
* CantStopTheSignal: June[=/=]Offred opens the package and discovers it is full of letters and messages of women kidnapped by the regime asking for help. When she's [[spoiler:taken into custody, she passes on the hiding spot to Rita for safekeeping.]]

* DramaticIrony: Downplayed. The audience knows that Serena Joy already [[spoiler: blithely informed the Commander that Offred isn't carrying his child]]. When Offred meets with the Commander [[spoiler: hoping to implore him to protect Hannah, the Commander congratulates Offred on her pregnancy. Although Offred "assures" him the child is his when asked, he says, "You do that so well," knowing that it's just a charade.]] Offred actually seems more amused by his reaction than unnerved.
** She also isn't aware of what transpires in the Commanders' meeting room, and doesn't realize how much her warnings of Serena Joy [[spoiler: play to Commander Fred's trepidation of possible punishment for his unlawful acts.]]

* KnittingPregnancyAnnouncement: [[spoiler:Serena is seen doing some knitting after hearing that Offred is pregnant.]]

** Serena Joy hands this to Fred, after [[spoiler: she finds out about his secret meetings with Offred. She also doesn't hesitate to tell him that Offred's pregnant, but the baby isn't his and will never be due to his stupidity and sterility.]]
** Offred delivers a '''big''' one to Serena after [[spoiler: Serena not only takes her to where her and Luke's daughter is being held and doesn't allow Offred to see her, but also threatens her life if anything happens to Offred's unborn child or if Offred steps out of line.]]
-->'''Offred''': [[spoiler: What is wrong with you? ''What is wrong with you?'' How can you do this? You're deranged. You're...you're...you're fucking evil. You know that? You are a goddamn motherfucking monster! Fucking heartless, sadistic, motherfucking evil [[CountryMatters CUNT]]! Fuck you, Serena! You are gonna burn in goddamn motherfucking hell, you crazy, evil bitch!]]
-->'''Serena Joy''': Don't get upset. [[spoiler:It's not good for the baby.]]
* {{Squick}}: The viewer gets an eyeful of [[spoiler: Commander Warren's left hand being removed]].

** [[spoiler: The second Ofglen is dragged off to punishment and doesn't get to walk back with her fellow handmaids after the rejected stoning.]] In a FreezeFrameBonus, her bonnet is left sitting on the grass. It's likely that that she'll be spared, due to her breeding stock status.
** [[spoiler: The handmaids know they can only go as far as drop their stones and walk away back to routine rather than take Janine to safety. So Janine is left sitting in the grass with Aunt Lydia staring at her, and it's up in the air if they find another away to punish Janine.]]

* CantStopTheSignal: June[=/=]Offred opnes the package and discovers it is full of letters and messages of women kidnapped by the regime asking for help. When she's [[spoiler:taken into custody, she passes on the hiding spot to Rita for safekeeping.]]
