It’s interesting to rewatch the Testaments after having heard the stepmom tell Agnes that Gilead wanted to send her piece by piece to her birth mother.
In the first few episodes several of the adults have told her how lucky she is to be there and I thought it was like a “you should be grateful your father is a high commander” but on the second watch through the subtext is totally “you are so fucking lucky to be alive after what June did.”
