A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Aunt Lydia: I'm pleased that everything is going so well with the baby.

Serena Joy Waterford: As our doctor would happily tell you.

Aunt Lydia: Have I let myself become a bother? There's so much more to a successful pregnancy than can be measured in a doctor's office. The ventilation in the Handmaid's room, the firmness of the bed. The mood in the household. Her attitude seems much improved.

Serena Joy Waterford: It's everything a Wife could ask for. She's quite unlike herself.

Aunt Lydia: Mrs. Waterford, no small effort has been made to bring Offred to heel. Your baby needs to know he's in a Godly, harmonious environment.

Serena Joy Waterford: Of course. Praised be His miracle.
