Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale, season three, episode nine

Serena (played by Yvonne Strahovski) is determined to get baby Nichole back, but her efforts are proving fruitless at the moment on the Hulu series.

However, some fans have suggested that this may merely be a front for her real motives and that she wants to dismantle Gilead, not only freeing Nicole but also others.

Serena’s secret intentions may even have been hinted to in the latest episode in her interactions with June (Elisabeth Moss).

Reddit user 321equinox wrote: “What if Serena is only pretending to follow Fred, and pretending she wants the baby back? But she is actually still planning to work with June to take down Gilead and/or free both of them, Nicole and Hannah.

“She cant let June in on it and risk being overheard with all the attention on them. If they were to make a getaway, as Nicole’s mother, she could go anywhere she wants with her child and ‘her handmaid’, (to all outward appearances.) I realise it seems she is keeping the peace with June to keep up appearances.

The fan also pointed to the action from the most recent episode that could point to Serena’s ulterior motives.

June was enduring her punishment in the hospital as she has been made to wait by the bed of Ofmatthew (Ashleigh LaThrop) until her baby is born.

Serena and June were left alone in one scene at the hospital where the handmaiden attempted to swipe at Serena with a scalpel.

However, she injured herself in the process and sustained a cut to her palm.

Serena, instead of becoming enraged by June’s actions, called for the doctor (Gil Bellows) to help June get stitched up.

The Redditor continued: “Her reaction to June’s behaviour on the most recent episode was entirely out of character for someone who has such a mean streak.

“Even if she is trying to play nice, that should have set her off.”

Could this be the indicator that Serena is not all that she seems?

There was another interesting development that came from the exchange with the doctor too.

It transpired that he knew June’s mother, Dr. Holly Maddox (Cherry Jones), whom he described as “scary”.

He told June: “Now I know why you took a swipe at Mrs. Waterford. Dr. Maddox, she was scary.”

This shared moment and recollection of her mother clearly brought out a lot of emotion for June.

The doctor’s dismissal of June’s actions and the words he offered up to her when she admitted she had been planning on killing Ofmatthew, her commander and the commander’s wife hint that he could be an important figure for June in the future.

While he hasn’t expressly said he is a dissenter of Gilead, it looks like he might be a key ally for June in her mission.

As the episode came to a close, June told the unconscious and dying Ofmatthew that her new plan was to get children out of Gilead.

But will June be able to pull off this brave new feat?

But the narrow alleys are still jammed with people, elbow to elbow, jostling at the closet-size night market stalls to place their orders. Competing for their attention: steaming beef noodle soup, sizzling oyster pancakes, honey-sweet pearl milk tea, fermented stinky tofu, and comically, fat pork sausages or mini sweet potato balls. Welcome to a foodie’s final resting place.

If New York is the city that never sleeps, then Taiwan must be the island that never gets full. Most people have three meals a day, but Taiwan worships food so much that there’s a fourth and final meal: xiaoye (宵夜) or midnight snacks. Combine this late-night eating tradition with renao (熱鬧) — the “hot and noisy” aspect of life that is cherished by Taiwanese — and you’ll get even tiny towns like Keelung serving night market food into the wee hours of the morning. “Taiwanese people love food more than anything … as long as it’s delicious, new and trendy,” says Charlene Yang, a food blogger based in Taipei.

Eating out is so convenient and cheap (usually less than $ 10) that many don’t bother cooking at home.

But why the determined night-owl hunt for food? There are a few factors according to National Taiwan Normal University professor Chen Yu-Jen, who researches the culture and history of cuisine in Taiwan. Back in the 1980s, Taiwan’s xiaoye scene was mostly a “lively underground economy,” but nowadays, midnight snacking has turned into a more formal affair — even an ingrained part of mainstream culture. Eating out is so convenient and cheap (usually less than $ 10) that many don’t bother cooking at home.

And the sheer variety on offer — foods with historical Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, American and Chinese roots — is enough to draw everyone from late-working office workers to “cram school” students, says Leslie Liu, a popular Taiwanese food Instagrammer. Plus “people go out not just because of the food, but because the food also creates a lively, one-of-a-kind atmosphere,” adds Liu.

So if you’re coming to Taiwan, open your mouth wide once you arrive, and don’t close it again until your return flight home. The goal here is to fill your body with food and culture until you explode. But do brace yourself for large, noisy crowds. The experience may be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the hustle and bustle of Taiwan’s midnight scene or the mind-boggling number of choices on every menu.

But we’ve got you covered. Here’s your insider’s guide to late-night cravings in and around Taipei.

Go There: The Night Market That’s Right for You

“Stay ahead of the blacktop,” the old Australian Outback opal miners used to say. Once the sealed road—the “blacktop”—arrived, plus a cop, a café and rubbernecks, a place was truly stuffed. Time to move on. Perhaps these days, the best that a traveler can do is gamely try to stay ahead of the Instagrammers, cigar bars, and selfie obsessives.

Canggu, far up the sands from Bali’s frenetic Kuta-Legian-Seminyak strip, is a case in point. Not much more than a decade ago, its beachfront was still a gaggle of local warungs that sold jaffles, juice, and smoothies to surf-sated wanderers. Nowadays, Canggu (‘Cang-gone’) is looking like Seminyak 2.0 with its motorbike jams, boutiques, quinoa-and-kale menus, rice paddies paved-over by villas, and five-star resorts.

What to do? Keep heading west, traveler, past the thriving surf schools and restaurants of Echo Beach. Farther up the sands sits Pererenan, the last outpost of kicked-back afternoons, sunset homage, and low-key accommodation. Beyond here, it’s all volcanic sands, local temples, and seafront estates. Enjoy it, as it is, while you can.

For the latter, we now turn to our friends at Gallery 1988, whose latest pop culture-obsessed exhibition focuses on the tiny toys of Mattel, with a knockout gallery of visual art inspired by He-Man, She-Ra, Monster High, Barbie, and even the Magic 8-Ball. The whole exhibit is on display at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, but if you can’t make it, we’ve plucked out a few of our favorites.

Todd Hooper has shown up early at the virtual reality party. He started Vreal in Seattle to create a livestreaming platform for streamers to broadcast their gameplay in VR to spectators.

It’s like Twitch, the livestreaming platform for PC gamers, and it is one of the ways that virtual reality will become more social. I tried it out in a demo using an HTC Vive VR headset at Vreal’s headquarters, and I was greeted by a big panda. It was Bryan Chu, vice president of marketing at Vreal. He was talking with his hands, and his avatar’s hands were moving all over the place.

We were in a pretty lobby-like area with a bunch of icons all over. There were some games, movies, and other kinds of experiences to go into. I could teleport around the lobby and hold a conversation. Then we beamed into a VR game, Surgeon Simulator. We watched another player pulling out body parts from the body on the cartoon surgery table. We could resize ourselves into tiny characters on the table and see the game from any vantage. The player didn’t see us at all, but we could talk about the gameplay and set up virtual cameras to record the experience. But I had fun, knowing I was in VR, watching a game with a giant panda as my companion.

It was quite an immersive experience. Hooper has 20 people working on it, and he’s bringing in money via sponsorships as he waits for the VR audience to materialize. If it comes, Vreal will be ready with the right livestreaming technology. We talked about the VR streaming opportunity, and here’s an edited transcript of our conversation.

GamesBeat: It seems like you’re pretty far down the road.

Todd Hooper: Product-wise, as you saw in the demo, things have come a long way. One thing that’s probably new to you—we’re thinking hard about how to bridge the VR world, having the best streaming experience in VR, with the 2D world, where people will still be for a long time. How do we give them a view into VR?

Using the tools you just saw, we’ve worked with some streamers to launch a couple of new shows. HyperRPG launched a new Friday night show called ER VR. It’s filmed inside Surgeon Simulator. Zac Eubank, the head of the team there, pitched the show to us after he saw a demo last year. He said, “I want to do America’s Got Talent with virtual surgeons.” It came out great. It’s helped us understand what the audience wants to see. It gave us a good insight into how content creators are treated, too.

It’s interesting to see how people react. This is the format you just saw. This is a virtual camera in the space you were just in. They set up a bunch of these in the space, and then these are the judges. They run the show and we provide the tech platform. When we first looked into this, we thought we were just going to use this format. We weren’t going to show the backstage. But about a month ago, they accidentally flipped to the wrong video feed and the audience saw this, with all the cameras set up around there and the guy in the panda suit. The viewers had their minds blown. So now the audience wants to see more of that. The Twitch chat loves it.

The other show that came out, Rooster Teeth did Achievement Hunter last week with the same tech. I think it’s up to 300,000 views now. It was a different approach. They basically just took two of their creative people, put them in VReal, and didn’t tell them anything. They said, “Hey, take a shot of this.” It’s amazing. Just seeing what they do, the way they interact, it’s a lot of fun.

GamesBeat: How has the Surgeon Simulator show grown?

Hooper: I think they had about 2,000 viewers for the premiere. It’s been pretty consistent. Hyper is not a massive Twitch channel. They’re more of a variety streamer. This has been very good for them. The main thing we track—the relative number of viewers is interesting, but the main thing is engagement. What’s the chat engagement? Are people just watching it, or are they diving in? So far, this whole panda thing has been interesting, how the audience has glommed on to that.

GamesBeat: With some of these, could viewers pick the camera they want to see?

Hooper: When people have their own VR rigs and the native component of the platform is launched, they can do that. For this presentation, the streamer is setting it up. They pick the cameras they want and switch in between them, using that to create the content. We think this is a good way to evangelize VR. It’s better than the traditional capture-the-headset view. You can watch a headset view for five or 10 seconds, maximum. More than that and it’s too much motion.

It’s like watching a football game right now. If you tried to watch football strictly through helmet cam, it would be pretty rough. You need to extra cameras to give you context and stability in the space. Then you can cut to the first-person view occasionally. You don’t want that to be the primary view.

We see Twitch and YouTube, the video platforms, as complementary to what we’re doing. There’s already an audience there. That audience is already used to looking at things on a flat screen, so we give them great content there. When that audience has VR headsets, we can show them the experience you just had and take it to the next level. I’m conscientious of the fact that most gamers don’t have VR yet. They’re interested in VR. They want to watch VR. But the price points have to come down. The content has to get better.

The audience is out there today watching video, whether it’s on Twitch or Facebook or YouTube. They’re interested in VR. But they’re probably still waiting for that perfect headset for the holidays. The Vive and Oculus are great products. PlayStation is a great product. But the price point is still up there.
