* KickTheDog: Serena Joy has two instances of this in this episode; she refuses to let any of the physically disfigured Handmaids attend the fancy dinner being held for the Mexican delegation, and she has the children that the Handmaids were forced to bear for the Commanders paraded around in front of all their birth mothers, who can only look on helplessly. What's somehow even worse is that she doesn't do these things to be deliberately mean, but as part of a PR stunt.
