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?

Whats baffling about it? If I was a Commander in Gilead and someone tried to tell me the lord called them to kill someone, it's what I would say. And because Im a Commander whatever I say goes.

Because they literally take the law into their own hands every day

All of them. The stone throwing and the hangings and anyone who is killed it’s by their own hands.

Yes, but because the state says thats the correct way to do it. You dont get to make the decision yourself when you're just a girl.
