The Handmaid's Tale Season 2: 8 Ups And 2 Downs From 'First Blood'

2. Nick's Plan Sabotaged

Nick's conversation with Commander Pryce in First Blood would've been a wonderful, albeit dangerous, way to expose Commander Waterford for the cheating hypocrite that he is. But Ofglen blew up the Red Center with Pryce still inside it, so chances are that he was killed in the explosion.

This is yet another example of the clever writing in The Handmaid's Tale. You think you have it all worked out, and then it goes a completely different way.

It'll be interesting to see what Nick will do now. He's not going to stay with his wife forever, that much is certain, but how he gets June (and his baby) out of dodge will be a central focus of the show going forward.
