I have noticed much speculations and expectations about this episode in this sub reddit from the book readers & as a result, I was looking forward to this episode too! Now that it’s out, I’m really curious to know if it met your expectations?

As someone who dint read the books, I loved the episode, it satiated me just enough while leaving me hungry for more… I loved the slices of back & forth editing used to contrast the disarray and merciless violence of the coup w the current ‘apparently’ picture perfect aesthetics w its organized , measured violence that are now not met w shock from the bystanders but justified w more enthusiasm!

I am still not done looking for more backstory tho, I could use more scenes of how Aunt Lydia convinced everyone & rose to the position of power in this dystopian world. Those few scenes were not enough to establish how she gained their trust! And we’re also still awaiting more of aunt Vidala’s or Estee’s stories… & the training of the aunts is also of interest!

Last but not the least, my heart is aching for Agnes who would be matched w some old b***sack while Garth could be matched w Becka (given she had some difficulties getting more interests cause of her unfortunate situation w alcohol at the Ball )… After vouching for Garth and still not getting matched w him might cause some friction between her and the friend he might be matched w regardless of who it is cause could be Hulda too, idk , bless her still childish heart 😭 & if it’s indeed Becka, both girls might suffer the loss of their friendship along w their girlhood 😭☹️
