The Wheelers enforce Gilead's control in Canada

In Season 5 of "The Handmaid’s Tale," viewers are introduced to Alanis and Ryan Wheeler, a wealthy couple living near the Gilead-Canada border.

Initially presenting themselves as allies, they soon impose strict control over Serena, limiting her freedom and autonomy. Alanis is devoted to Gilead's beliefs, while Ryan focuses on power dynamics. Their actions reflect a commitment to Gilead's ideology, as they replicate its oppressive treatment of Handmaids in their home.
