) has escaped Gilead, think again. In fact, episode seven of the show’s fourth season was every bit as emotional, dark, and traumatic as all those that came before it – perhaps even more so.sees June reunite with those people who ground her most; her husband, Luke and baby daughter Nichole, her beloved Moira , and her friends Rita and Emily .
“There is no one less worthy of redemption than you,” she says. And, when Serena insists upon June’s forgiveness, her former Handmaid continues: “Do you know why God made you pregnant? So that when he kills that baby inside your womb, you will feel a fraction of the pain that you caused us when you tore our children from our arms.Her rage is palpable, terrifying, and yet still somehow understandable. What viewers found harder to stomach, however, is what happens next.
“One of the reasons it’s so hard to watch is that it does ring true as something that a woman like June might be going through. It seems to track. But it doesn’t make it any less horrible.”While Luke spends the end of the episode beaming at June as if nothing untoward has taken place between them, OT Fagbenle tellsthat Luke and June’s relationship “is really tested” after their reunion and that they will have quite a few failures as they try to navigate their new normal.
“One of the last things Moira says to June when we get passed the guards is, ‘We’re going to Canada. You made it.’ And those are words that I’m sure are kind of unbelievable to June when spoken. That breath, I think, has so much in it. And, as we all know, Lizzie Moss as an actor put everything into that breath and I think we’ll see in episodes seven, eight, nine and 10 everything that breath means.
Well, this is more than simple nepotism on Moira’s behalf. Yes, she broke the rules to smuggle June into Canada because June is her best friend, but there’s no denying that June has come to represent more than this; this is the same woman, after all, who helped to rescue over 80 children from Gilead, inspired revolt, poisoned a number of high-ranking Gileadean officials, and gave her fellow Handmaids something to believe in.Rescuing June was, in this writer’s opinion, 100% the right decision.
