Tonight’s harrowing installment of “A Handmaid’s Tale” demonstrates that Offred’s shitty life enslaved to fanatical Christians can get loads worse. Hulu says of “Seeds”:
Offred spirals as a Gilead ceremony disrupts her relationship with Nick; Janine tries to adjust to life in the Colonies, jeopardizing her friendship with Emily.
