'I do think she's thrown off her game because of the fall, but it doesn't change her belief.' Ann Dowd discusses her character's beatdown at the hands of Alexis Bledel's Emily in HandmaidsTale
The Emmy-winning star speaks with The Hollywood Reporter about the traumatic beating in "God Bless the Child.", "God Bless the Child."]
Both women find their faith at the heart of "God Bless the Child," the fourth episode of the Emmy-winning series, directed by Amma Asante and written by Eric Tuchman. The latest hour of the drama sees June, fresh from making major strides into the heart of the Martha network of resistance fighters, thinking back on her pre-Gilead life — specifically, the baptism of her baby Hannah several years ago.
"The other thing she never had to deal with before in her role as head aunt is an emotional fear," she continues, "things triggering her because of the intensity of the trauma of the attack. In other words, if she had not had that experience with Emily, she may have handled Janine very differently in that room. She's not afraid of those people in her normal state.
