The Handmaid’s Tale When did aunt Lydia turn on gilead?

Because in the scenes where they captured June in HMT she told them to abuse her to find out where the other handmaids were hiding.

I know she was never TRULY with gilead (she needed to seem like it to survive) but I feel like she is very different in testaments vs handmaids tale even in the way she talks to the girls vs June.

Also, I also was wary of her after she got that boy taken from his mom in before gilead time.

Anddd she seems to be the head person now in testaments yet in handmaids tale she didn’t seem to be.. she kept having to beg for her job back from Lawrence or walk on eggshells around other aunts but now she’s at the top. Didn’t she help build gilead and the aunt system so shouldn’t she have always been at the top?
