At first this felt like a bit of filler to flesh out the backstory and the "Before" part of the events, but it was so much more. It shifted gears a little bit from the rest of the main plot, but in a way that helped contextualize the rest of what's happening. And broadened the scope of the story outside of just what June/Offred has been experiencing. I am so impressed with O.T. Fagbenle in this episode, his performance was quite exceptional and it really allowed me to understand Luke so much more, especially his relationship with June.

I'm surprised I liked this episode so much, but it really stood out and made the reveal at the end so worth it.
