Handmaid's Tale's Alexis Bledel Explains Ofglen's Decision

Alexis Bledel is opening up about her character’s rather surprising decision in the latest episode of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The 35-year-old actress talks about – SPOILER ALERT! – Ofglen’s “joyride.”

“It’s an impulse, it’s certainly not planned,” Alexis told EW. “She’s standing there, having experienced such a devastating loss. She’s still processing all that’s happened to her even though some time has passed. Then she sees this car door open, and she decides to jump in. She doesn’t know where she’s going or how far she’ll be able to go, but once she realizes the other handmaids are watching�”and it’s making a statement to the guards�”she decides to keep going as long as she can.”
