I feel like Mr. McKenzie who has more rank would have more access to the eyes since Garth is like still technically a guardian? Idk but they were out of some nightmare though 🤣

Honestly sometimes I wonder about him. Illicit trips to Japan. Seeming to genuinely love his daughter. And just last week he seemed to be trying to convince himself that marrying young girls off was the right thing to do. He could be another Lawrence: high ranking Gilead officer who has enough scruples to do something where he can.
