What Happens to Esther Keyes’s Baby in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’?

As though the 14-year-old wife-turned-handmaid hadn’t gone through enough, she meets another villain upon her arrival at The Red Center, and it’s not Aunt Lydia (this time).

With advice from her confidant, Janine (played by Madeline Brewer), Esther attempts to tolerate the advances of yet another, old, creepy man. Stephen Kunken’s Commander Putnam has his eyes set on Esther from the start, and his lust for the young girl ultimately lands him in hot water with his superiors.
