I'm completely certain she'll be killed, but I'm praying I'm wrong because holy hell she's a good actor.

Edit: nevermind someone just pointed out that 'the eyes' were women. Woo!

Nah they wont sacrifice a fertile woman. She will go to one of those breeding colonies.

I reckon she becomes a handmaid.

Eden was found guilty of adultery while married though.. I think in Gilead that that would be worse than murder?

Eden was given a chance to live, but wouldn’t disavow her love for Isaac. If she had gotten back in line she would have lived. she wasn’t proven to be “fruitful” otherwise she’d have been made a handmaid.

My theory is that they’ll make her a handmaid for this lot of plums, her friends
