Viewers of The Testaments are convinced they have uncovered fan favourite Hulda's fate after spotting a chilling detail in Episode 6, now streaming on Disney+. The episode delved into Aunt Lydia's backstory and showed Hulda preparing to enter the marriage race after her first period.
Towards the end of the episode, Hulda tells friends she has a fitting with the tailor and a routine teeth whitening with Dr. Grove. Fans believe this hints at a sinister twist, predicting that Dr. Grove will sexually assault Hulda, similar to what happened to Agnes.
Taking to TikTok, user @Doreensplace theorised that unlike Agnes, Hulda will expose the doctor's wrongdoing, ruining her chances of a match. 'She is going to confess. She is going to be ostracised and therefore not a good candidate for a match,' Doreen said.
Gilead often blames girls for their abuse, explaining Agnes' silence. However, Hulda seems more likely to seek guidance from friends. A synopsis for Episode 8 confirms: 'Hulda faces backlash after speaking out.'
While the theory is credible, viewers will need to tune in to upcoming episodes to see if their suspicions are correct. For support on issues raised, visit rapecrisis.org.uk or call the 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line on 0808 500 2222.
