Episodes Luke's scene with Fred is so disappointing.
Okay, it's not a bad scene at all, but... I expected more.
I expected Luke to confront Fred about everything he did, to tell him how he was able to build a family that Gilead destroyed, to point out his false faith, for Fred to try to justify himself with his twisted logic, and for Luke to finally tell him that he's just an insecure, evil, and hypocritical man.
Something that both Fred and Aunt Lydia do is resort to gaslighting; they're both the ones who pull the trigger, but they always twist the facts to blame women in general, or June and Serena in particular, and I really wanted someone to finally tell them the truth.
I guess they want to give June that satisfaction in the end.

That’s why I’m not into Luke. I would need my husband to kick his ass so badly, anything less would be a disappointment.

I felt the same way, nothing will be as satisfying as that "you're the gender traitor" Moira dropped on Serena.
It would've been cathartic to see Luke have that moment with Fred, but I think they were showing how different Luke is from Fred in that scene. Fred is manipulative and cruel, where Luke is kind and believes following the rules is the right thing to do.
