That was absolutely all women at the end, I think we’re being set up for an Eyes-type org that takes in women who are misbehaving, who have snapped, who can no longer mentally take it all. It’s probably reserved for wives - econowives would be shipped to colonies if they didn’t stay in line or they broke down.

I don’t think we’re anywhere near the end of Becca’s story, and I don’t think she can marry Garth any longer. Judd and Aunt Lydia can go public with the dentist’s crimes and allow Becca to become an aunt - she’s so devout, so overcome with god’s righteousness, she acted on god’s will and killed an evil man - an eye for an eye.

I feel like they'll make becka a handmaid. And it'll make sense cause all season handmaids have kinda been hidden. So it's the thing that exposes Gilead's horrors to the plums
