The Testaments season finale has left viewers questioning Commander Weston's sudden decision to call off his engagement to Agnes. Warning: This article contains spoilers for Episode 10.
The Finale's Key Events
The Handmaid's Tale sequel's tenth episode sees Becka Grove (Mattea Conforti) facing consequences for killing her father. After discovering he had sexually abused her best friend Agnes (Chase Infiniti), Becka stabbed him and was taken by The Eyes. In the finale, Agnes asks her fiancé Commander Weston (Reed Diamond) to use his influence to free Becka. He initially refuses, prompting Agnes to reveal she was one of Dr. Grove's victims.
Weston initially seems willing to help, saying, "I will do whatever I can for your friend." However, Agnes later learns he has ended their engagement due to her connection to the Grove scandal. Paula (Amy Seimetz) suspects deeper motives: "Men don't leave for no reason."
The Real Reason
Commander Weston dumped Agnes because he no longer viewed her as pure after learning she had been "defiled" by Dr. Grove. This parallels why Grove avoided assaulting Daisy (Lucy Halliday) during her dental appointment—as a Pearl Girl, Daisy was already considered impure. Fan theories on social media support this interpretation. One X user noted, "Bc she told him what Grove did to her, so he didn't view her as 'pure' anymore." Another added, "Weston didn't want Agnes because Grove ruined her." A Reddit user commented, "It's so odd. They want them so pure, but then they destroy the very innocence they covet."
