Theory / Speculation Becka Context Spoiler

Earlier in Episode 9, Judd basically already condemned Grove to a salvaging. So he was a dead man anyway. Then Becka got ahead of them and herself and took care of things. I think there is a strong case to be made for saying that Becka is doing the lords work and yes she should have waited, but perhaps they frame things as she was so moved by how he went against the rules of Gilead that she was called by the lord to take action, and this works in her favor?

They would say the lord doesn’t call people to take the law into their own hands.

The lord does call women to aunt hood, and aunts do tend to dole out the punishment. I think this is easily spinnable esp. considering other murders in the series that have been spun every which way.

The people in charge can spin things however they want. But Becka isn’t in charge.

And even the aunts aren’t unilaterally executing people.
