For the most part Offred is relieved that Ofglen took her own life rather than being tortured, meaning her secrets were also safe (Atwood, 2004). However, Offred continues to wonder if the new Ofglen was telling the truth. As she walks back to the house, she begins to panic, and promises to herself that she will be the perfect handmaid, doing everything that she is asked to do. By so doing, she would avert being suspected or captured – both events that would lead to her torture and death. She is pulled back into reality when Serena storms angrily out of the house. Offred immediately knows that she must have done something wrong but cannot put her finger on what her mistake is. Serena then shows her the blue cloak that has makeup smeared all over it as well as the leotard that she had worn to Jezebels. Serena orders Offred upstairs, calling her a slut and comparing her to the previous handmaid.
