I remember, back in Season 4 episode 3 of THT when June is being interrogated, and June calls Aunt Lydia "Lydia", without her title, and how pissed off Lydia became because of it.

But it occurred to me that in the Testaments, we see Aunt Lydia constantly address Vidala in the wrong way, never using "Aunt".

*Not never, but Aunt Lydia often never uses "Aunt" when talking to her, which probably reminds Vidala of her smaller position as an Aunt.

I'll admit, I'm dissappointed at the fact that the show dropped the D.C. veils, it was something I wanted to see in the series. I enjoyed seeing the new coverings of Marthas, Handmaids and the Aunts, but why were they forgotten? It seems like a big detail they decided to not show? From a lore perspective, it makes no sense that Gilead would liberalize to an extent that the coverings would be dropped.
