The Testaments was renewed for Season 2 the same day it released its most harrowing episode yet. Episode 9 showed Becka’s (Mattea Conforti) reaction to learning what her dad did to Agnes (Chase Infiniti) and other girls at her school, and the violent aftermath that leaves Becka’s fate up in the air heading into next week’s Testaments finale. We connected with Conforti to discuss this dark turn of events in Becka’s life. Warning: The Testaments Episode 9 spoilers ahead. This article also contains discussion of sexual assault of minors.

Becka is the daughter of Dr. Grove (Randal Edwards), the dentist in her Gilead hometown. Grove has been sexually assaulting girls at Becka’s school while they were passed out from medication during dental procedures. In Episode 9, Daisy (Lucy Halliday) falsely accused Grove of assaulting her. While he didn’t touch Daisy, he indeed harmed Agnes, Hulda (Isolde Ardies), and more. Daisy devised a plan to make him look guilty enough to get justice for the girls he hurt. Agnes told Becka that her dad hurt her in Episode 9, after Becka rejected the idea that her dad hurt Daisy. Conforti tells us that “Agnes’s word, that’s Bible.”
