This article analyzes the disturbing and heartbreaking events depicted in Season 2, Episode 2 of The Handmaid's Tale, focusing on Emily's exile to the Colonies.
This article mentions sexual assault. Based on Margaret Atwood's seminal novel of the same name, The Handmaid's Tale is bleak by design. Set in the dystopian world of Gilead, it sees June Osborne (Elizabeth Moss), now known as OfFred, join the household of a Commander and his wife. She becomes their handmaid, a woman enslaved for the sole purpose of carrying a child for the family she serves.
The show never shies away from depicting the horrors of this oppressive regime, with harrowing scenes finding their way into just about every episode of each season. Some The Handmaid's Tale episodes, however, manage to find even more buttons to push, leaving viewers deeply saddened and distraught. With the deaths of many beloved characters, scenes of torture, and sacrifice, each season brings with it more struggle. Flashback scenes of how this whole reality came to be hit far too close to home, especially considering the current state of the world. But, even in this grim reality, some of the characters are able to show incredible strength, and just how far they'll be able to go to survive. 10 S2.E2 'Unwomen' The Horrors Of The Colonies Close This episode firmly belongs to Emily (Alexis Bledel), who is banished to a life of harrowing manual labor on the toxic wasteland that is the Colonies. After her'joyride' that left a few people mowed down, viewers had no idea what had become of this rebellious character, but in the second season's second episode, they finally find out. Along with a whole new storyline that involves Marisa Tomei as a Commander's wife banished for'sins of the flesh', there is a host of heartbreaking flashbacks that see Emily have to say goodbye to her family. Seeing the pain in Bledel's expressive blue eyes as she sees her family ascend the escalator, makes what she ends up doing to Tomei's character slightly more understandable
