The latest episode of The Testaments has left viewers intrigued about Garth's family background, following a subtle clue in episode 5. The sequel to The Handmaid's Tale is currently streaming on Disney Plus, with new episodes every Wednesday.
Episode 5 Recap
The series follows June Osborne's biological daughter Agnes, now a young woman attending Aunt Lydia's prep school for future wives. In episode 5, Agnes discovers that her crush, Garth, is set to become a commander, offering her a potential chance to marry for love rather than being paired with an older man.
In the closing moments, Commander MacKenzie congratulates Garth, saying: "We need men like yourself, and like your father. Willing to rise to the occasion." This line has sparked speculation about Garth's father's identity.
What We Know About Garth's Father
Brad Alexander, who plays Garth, revealed in an interview that his character's father was a "well-renowned Commander and a fighter of Gilead, up until the Boston moment." He added that Garth is "angry at the system that raised him." This suggests his father was injured in the events of The Handmaid's Tale, but his exact identity remains a mystery.
Fan Theories
Fans are speculating that Garth's father could be a significant figure from the original series, possibly Commander Waterford or another high-ranking official. Others believe the clue points to a new character who will be revealed in future episodes.
What's Next?
Episode 6 will delve into Agnes' dream to marry Garth, as the Aunts finalize matches using ancestry records. Meanwhile, Daisy continues her mission as a Mayday spy. The Testaments continues on Disney+ next Wednesday, April 29.
