** For physical, we have Nick's Trunk, the music box given back to Offred, the incubator that Charlotte is in, and Janine is framed in one when she is sitting on the windowsill playing with her daughter.
** For metaphorical, we have thinking outside of the box, which is what Serena tries to do only to be shut down by Fred. In any case, all of the actions performed in this episode are an existential PandorasBox, with a result being Fred physically punishing his own wife.
