In their next visit, the commander seems drunk. He gives Offred a skimpy outfit, and takes her to a club. At the club, Offred spots Moira. The two meet in the washroom and exchange stories. Moira was caught, and now works as a prostitute. After this meeting, Offred never sees Moira again. The commander takes Offred to a hotel room. He is disappointed that Offred is not excited about a real sexual encounter, so she has to fake it. Once back at the house, Offred changes back into her handmaid's clothes. Serena decides to take her to have sex with Nick. The story is told twice, once filled with passion, and once with very awkward. She feels as though she betrayed Luke.
Offred is taken to a club dressed as a whore. By this, she is portrayed in a way that women hate to be seen. She has sex with the commander and Nick, which brings about a very understandable feeling of betrayal toward her husband.
