The latest episode of The Testaments dropped on April 15, and it is already making viewers talk. Episode 4, titled “Green Tea,” takes the young women of Gilead from polite tea parties to terrifying realities. Daisy and Agnes try to survive the system, but this hour proves that Gilead does not forgive, and it certainly does not protect its own.
Episode 4 of The Testaments is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+ . This episode follows the previous three which launched on April 8. New episodes arrive every Wednesday, keeping fans of the dystopian drama on edge.
Here is a detailed look at what happened in Episode 4 of The Testaments, and why it is a turning point for the series.
A Tea Party Built on Fear and Marriage Deals
The episode centers around a tea party at the home of Paula, Agnes’s mother. On the surface, it is a social gathering for the “Green” girls—young women preparing for marriage. But there is nothing friendly about it.
Mothers watch every move their daughters make. They are not looking for happiness; they are looking for strategic matches. The girls are treated like items for sale. Agnes is the main attraction because she comes from a good family.
The party includes a strange ritual. A porcelain bride is hidden inside a cake. The girl who finds it gets married first. Agnes finds the statue, but she breaks a tooth in the process. This small accident leads her to a place of true horror.

Dr. Grove and the System of Abuse
Agnes is taken to the dentist, Dr. Grove, to fix her tooth. Viewers have seen Dr. Grove before. He has always acted strangely around the young girls. This time, his behavior turns criminal.
Under the guise of medical care, Dr. Grove assaults Agnes. The show does not show the act explicitly, but the aftermath is clear. Agnes wakes up confused and in pain. She realizes something terrible has happened to her. The horror of the scene comes from her silence. She cannot tell anyone. There are no laws in Gilead to protect a girl from a man in power.
Becka, Dr. Grove’s own daughter, understands the danger even more. Her fear runs deep because she lives with this threat every day. This storyline shows how Gilead enables predators. It turns trusted professionals into weapons against the innocent.
Daisy’s Double Life Starts to Crack
While Agnes suffers silently, Daisy is playing a different game. She is undercover as a Pearl Girl, pretending to spread Gilead’s message while secretly working for Mayday, the resistance. At the tea party, she uses the crowd as cover to gather information.
She meets Commander Kyle. Unlike other commanders, he seems almost normal. He treats Agnes with a strange kindness. But Daisy cannot trust anyone. Every conversation is a trap.
Outside the party, a nervous florist warns Daisy that she is in danger. The resistance is being hunted. Daisy tries to act normal, but the pressure is breaking her.
The Price of Resistance
The episode ends with two devastating moments. Daisy watches as the florist’s shop explodes. The woman who warned her is killed. It is a brutal reminder that Gilead finds everyone eventually. Daisy carries this guilt with her. She knows she is next if she makes one wrong move.
Back home, Agnes must pretend everything is fine. She has to prepare for her wedding to a man she does not love. She has to smile while carrying the trauma of what Dr. Grove did to her. The system has trapped her completely. There is no escape, only survival.
