One of the most interesting points of the finale episode was Mark Tuello's identity. Throughout the show, Tuello has been acting as a representative of the fallen US Government that Gilead took power over.
However, in The Handmaid's Tale season 6 finale, he reveals that he is more intricately attached to Gilead than he would like to be. Tuello is a Commander in Gilead and was working with the US government to bring down the state so that his child and future generations would not have to fight for their rights.
