## Resource

We have just watched Episode 8 ("Broken") of The Testaments , the spinoff to The Handmaid's Tale . It was directed by Shana Stein and written by Stuti Malhotra. 'As Agnes is swept up in wedding plans, Daisy hides a life-altering secret and Hulda faces backlash after speaking out.' We're Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (formerly Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid's Tale Companion podcast), and we are here to unpack every detail of this episode — the quiet before the storm as the season nears its end. Join us as we decode the language of flowers, reckon with what Gilead's sex ed is really not teaching its girls, and sit with the weight of what happens when someone finally speaks up. Watch along with us, then join the conversation. Follow Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod or email us at hello@eyesonscreen.com.au  Hosted on Acast.
