The Handmaid’s Tale just gave us one of the most powerful moments in the series so far. Here’s why.
The episode begins where we left off last week; June is driving a car in the middle of nowhere, Serena is sat in the backseat with a gun, and nobody knows quite what’s happening.
Once again, June tries to leave. Once again, she comes back. And, this time, it’s because of a dark memory that rises to the surface of her mind – one which reminds her all too well of the brutalities of not just Gilead, but childbirth, too.In the flashback, we see June and Serena sharing several loaded glances with one another during one of Gilead’s god awful birthing ceremonies.
“I imagined this moment so many times. I always imagined that he would be here, Fred,” says Serena emotionally. “He looks like him.” Eventually, June eventually gets Serena and Noah to a hospital, where the baby is taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. And, when Serena offers up a heartfelt ‘thank-you’ to her former Handmaid, June reaches out and clasps her hand.
