Someone needs to explain Mark to me, I just don't get what he is trying to achieve anymore.

I'm very confused about Serena und Tuello. Like... is he in love with her or something? They had this weird sexual tension from the start and I always thought I was making it up but that scene in the hotel room made it seem like they were about to fuck????

they're definitely playing it up and i thought originally it was intentional on Tuello's part to get more out of Serena because she seemed pretty into it, but now it just seems messy and aimless

[ownlittle_heart]

During that scene in the hotel room, it almost seemed like she was trying to manipulating him but... IDK Joel from Parenthood doesn't seem that dumb to me?! Very weird.

That is the boat I'm in too, he doesn't seem to be this stupid but at the same time does?
At this point he needs to see that there is nothing more to be gained from Serena, and that she is becoming dangerous when she doesn't have to be scared of Gilead.

I was sort of excited for this to come back but I watched part of the first episode and it just reminded me how much of a ... bummer seems too light, but generally a bummer it is. Like she's free but its just exhausting. Especially when the entire first episode seems to be her running around blood covered and having a breakdown

What annoys me is that nobody is doing anything to help June. She's clearly deeply traumatized and dangerous. The cops could've done some kind of psychiatric hold instead of being like k you got away with murder, go home!

Luke also seems to be happy to let June do whatever the hell she wants consequence-free while he stays home with Nicole.

I think the problem is that she isn't at a point where she is receptive to help. Moira tried with her group, which obviously is not professional help but was a start.

Not sure what Luke should do, considering June raped him I understand he is not pushing that much with her behaviour because how it could blow back on him. Or Nicole.

ia the lack of mental healthcare is baffling

I forgot this started back up, and the comments here are helping me stay away. I don't want back on this ride. It's scary but also boring.

Seeing Serena not get her way in Gilead was great to see, though I hate hate hate the following she has in Canada and what she might be doing with it

[pastelpinklace]

How is Serena not in prison for helping her husband r*** June? How is she free in Canada? Did I miss something?

[la_loony]

I think that goes back to the deal that was made with Fred.

Oh that makes sense
