The Testaments Viewers 'Expose' Hidden Love Triangle Just Episodes In
Fans of The Testaments are convinced they have uncovered a quiet romance after spotting major clues in the Disney Plus show, suggesting a secret love triangle is brewing in the new drama.
Spoiler Alert for The Testaments
The Handmaid's Tale spin-off series is in full swing on Disney Plus, with Chase Infiniti leading the cast as Agnes MacKenzie. She is the daughter of June Osborne, portrayed by Elisabeth Moss, whose own story was detailed in the original show.
Drawing from Margaret Atwood's dystopian book, this new thriller follows a fresh generation of women facing the brutal Gilead regime. The girls are introduced at Aunt Lydia's prep school for wives, where they are sternly warned against lust.
However, it soon becomes clear that Agnes has developed a crush on her guardian, Garth, played by Brad Alexander. Although the pair have mostly shared longing glances so far, fans are pretty convinced that a romance will develop between them as the series progresses.
Viewers Predict Becka's Silent Love for Agnes
Following episode four, audiences have predicted that Becka, portrayed by Mattea Conforti, is silently in love with her best friend Agnes. Taking to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, one viewer expressed this theory, stating: "So Becka has the hots for Agnes and Agnes has the hots for Garth? #TheTestaments #TheHandmaidsTale."
Another fan had the same idea, penning: "So we agree Becka is in love with Agnes? #thetestaments." While a third added: "Becka wants Agnes bad is that where they're taking her story in the series? #thetestaments," with a fourth social media user agreeing: "She’s in love with Agnes. It’s clear in episode 4. But she also knows she can’t ever act on it in Gilead."
The series premiere revealed that Agnes and Becka share a strong bond, despite the Aunts discouraging the girls from having best friends. However, Becka's connection to Agnes doesn't seem purely platonic to many viewers.
Clues Pointing to a Potential Love Triangle
In the second episode, Becka makes it clear that she "doesn't want a husband," which fans have pointed to as proof that she is potentially a lesbian. With that in mind, viewers have highlighted that she stares longingly at Agnes during a later scene where they practice dancing for the upcoming debutante-style ball.
While the theory appears to hold some weight, viewers will have to tune in to upcoming episodes to see if this dramatic love triangle becomes a reality. The show continues to explore themes of love and repression in the oppressive setting of Gilead.
The Testaments is currently streaming on Disney Plus, offering subscribers access to this and other hit series like The Handmaid's Tale and The Bear, along with countless titles from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and more.
