Three episodes into The Testaments, June is back, and the series is tightening around the women at the center of Gilead’s next chapter. Pearl Girl Daisy has a hidden history, Agnes is still intent on believing the regime is sacrosanct, and Aunt Lydia has seemingly rejoined Gilead’s efforts to curtail its women.
Episode 4 drops on April 15 on Hulu for US viewers and on Disney+ for international viewers, setting up the next turn after the show’s three-episode premiere. The follow-up run will continue weekly after that opening stretch, with seven episodes still to come.
That matters because the series is no longer introducing its players; it is moving them into open conflict. June’s return brings a familiar force back into the story, while Daisy’s hidden past and Agnes’ loyalty to the regime suggest the fractures inside Gilead are widening even as Aunt Lydia appears to be lining up with the system again.
The show began with a three-episode premiere before shifting to weekly releases, and that structure puts April 15 in the slot where the story has to start paying off. June, Daisy, Agnes and Aunt Lydia are all in play now, and episode 4 is where their competing loyalties and histories begin to collide.
For viewers, the next step is straightforward: episode 4 arrives on April 15, and the seven weekly episodes that follow will decide how far each of these women is willing to go.
