For most of episode two, Emily spends her time in doctor's offices. She finds out she has extremely high cholesterol for a woman her age thanks to the fatty diet provided to Handmaids in Gilead (aka meat and butter). She gets referral for clitoral reconstruction. She gets a new pair of glasses. All the physical aspects of her escape are being dealt with, but her emotional hurdles are still to come.
Finally, at the end of the episode following a dizzying appointment at the optometrist, Emily works up the courage to call her wife, Sylvia (Clea DuVall). All we get to hear are their breathless, tearful hellos, but it's a deeply moving scene all the same.
