Season One Episode Three

Maybe this episode we will give us some more answers about who the killer is. Maybe this is to throw us off on who the real killer is. I was also thinking it could be Anna but now I’m not so sure.

Anna gets the opportunity to return to the anchor desk. She is all dressed and getting her make up done. When Anna gets ready to go on air, in walks Lexy at the last minute. Lexy tells everyone that she had to babysit for her sister at the last minute. I bet Lexy did that on purpose because she thinks Anna is after her husband. Anna leaves both hurt and embarrassed. She takes the eggs Alice had made for her and puts them all over Lexy’s car. Lexy will come out to a stinky mess.

Jack is home looking through Rachel’s phone. He comes across a sex video of Clyde. Meg comes in the room and startles Jack so he quickly closes the phone. Jack tells Meg to go downstairs and that he is coming. Jack goes downstairs to eat. Zoe starts asking Jack questions about Rachel and if he had anything to do with her death. Zoe ask him if he was sleeping with Rachel and Jack finally confesses. Zoe also lets him know about the DNA swab he did on Meg. Jack tries to convinces Zoe he had nothing to do with Rachel’s death. This also tells us that Rachel and Zoe were no longer friends. So what’s up with that.

Priya goes to the morgue to drop off some DNA samples and is asked by the attendant if Jack found his wedding ring. Priya looks very confused. Priya calls Jack when she gets home and wants to know if he wanted to go visit Helen at her house. Jack tells her no because he is already on his way to Helen’s house. Priya mentions the foot print report to Jack. Priya also ask Jack why he went back to the morgue looking for his wedding ring. Priya mentions she has never seen him wear a ring and was wondering why he was looking for it. Jack gets upset and changes the subject. Jack then asks Priya to follow Clyde. When Priya follows Clyde, she sees him go to a dumpster and puts a bag in it. After Clyde leaves, Priya goes to the dumpster and gets the bag out. When Priya opens the bag, she finds sex toys inside.

Since Jack is already at Helen’s house he looks around the yard. The housekeeper comes to the door and tells Jack that Helen works late on Fridays and she should be at the school. Jack goes to school but does not find Helen there. He leaves there, goes to the grocery store. He sees Richard there in line in front of him. They make eye contact but neither of them says a word. With his purchases Jack ask for extra plastic bags. Jack goes to the crime scene and uses the extra plastic bags he got from the grocery store to put over his shoes. Now he is covering his tracks. Jack looks around and ends up near the cemetery. He gets startled by someone yelling at him to stop. He recognizes the man as Coach Willie and ask him why he was there. Coach Willis says he works there now and ask Jack if was looking around the crime scene. Jack finds out from Coach Willie that there are security cameras and ask to see them. Looking at the footage Jack sees someone and recognizes that it may be Anna visiting a grave. Jack goes to the tombstone and knows its his daughter’s. Her name is Charlotte.

Anna is driving back to town and has a flashback about their daughter. The baby is crying and not feeling well. Anna ask Jack if they could stay in that night since the baby was fussy. Jack convinces Anna to leave while Alice watches the baby. Anna gets back to the hotel and Richard comes to her room. Richard had heard the story of Lexy showing up at the last minute. Richard tells Anna that Lexy does not have a sister in law or a sister. Anna looks confused but lets it go.

Jack is called to get Alice who has wander out of house naked again. Jack comes to take Alice home. Alice knows she is forgetting things but changes the subject and ask Jack about Anna. Jack says he still loves Anna and Alice suggest he text Anna and tell her they need to talk.

Jack gets to his truck, text Anna and then goes home. When he gets home he falls asleep in the chair. When he wakes up the next morning, Priya has called him several times. There is a second body. Jack gets to St Hillary and there’s a woman laying on top of a table. It is Helen. Priya tells Jack who found the body. Then Jack looks over and sees Anna standing by the door.

Now why is Anna there and why is she the one that found the body. Is Anna the killer. Now I’m all confused. Is it Jack or Anna. Who do you think it is?

His&Hers

Season One Episode Two

This episode is starting to put the pieces together on the relationship that Jack and Anna has. All they do is fight but you can see they are both hurt. Let’s figure out what happened. I know Anna left but why.

Jack is furious and he drives to Anna’s hotel room. Anna is doing research on her old classmates when she hears Jack’s truck pull up. Jack goes up and bangs on Anna’s room door. Anna answers the door and Jack accuses her of revealing who the body of the dead woman was. Anna says he didn’t say to her not to tell anyone but Jack assumed she would not. They go at it and both agree to stay out of each other’s way. They will coexist while Anna is in town. Jack begins to leave and Anna ask if the husband is a suspect. Jack says a few words then leaves.

Jack and Priya go back to the morgue and the coroner shows them the a bracelet that was pulled out of Rachel’s mouth. The coroner once again ask for DNA samples from them. Jack blows her off again and says that they have to get to the husband’s house.

Jack and Priya go to the husband’s house. He is understandably crying and upset. They ask him questions and he openly tells them about his marriage to Rachel. Clyde, the husband shows them the outside cameras; and they see Rachel on the phone talking to someone on her way out the door. Jack looks very uncomfortable. Clyde also tells them he took the dog for a walk in the rain that night. Jack ask for his clothes from that night and Clyde says he washed them. They thought that was strange and question him about it. Clyde states his shoes were muddy and he just washed everything. Is he trying to hide evidence. What does he think they are going to do with clean clothes. Clyde has also been calling Rachel’s phone; and Jack ask him to stop doing that to not wear the battery down. One the way out the door, Jack and Priya find out that Anna had been to the house questioning him. Why would Anna go question Clyde.

When Jack and Priya get outside, Jack ask her to take pictures of the outside cameras. Jack gets in his car and calls Helen, Rachel’s best friend. After he gets off the phone, he hears a ringing. He searches his truck and finds Rachel’s phone. Rachel was in his truck the night before. He sees that it’s Clyde calling Rachel’s phone. Jack panics and hides the phone as Priya gets back into the truck. They head back to the station. Jack goes in his office and closes his door. Jack tries to unlock Rachel’s phone with no success. What is on that phone that Jack needs to see. I’m sure his contact information is in there.

Anna goes to the St. Hillary, private school where Helen is the head master. Anna has a flashback of her starting school there and her first meeting with Rachel. Anna is there to find out if Helen knows who Rachel was with that night. Helen is very short with Anna as she questions her and does not give Anna any answers. Now what is Helen hiding. They were childhood friends. Helen mentions a 20 year secret the friends had. What is the secret. Helen was not very helpful at all.

Jack goes home and sees his neice, Meg, home alone. He ask Meg where her mother was but she does not know. Why in the world would Zoe leave Meg there alone. Jack then ask Meg if she wants to play a detective game. He takes his DNA sample and swabs Meg’s mouth. What is he doing? Hiding evidence. Jack does not want the sheriff to find out that he slept with Rachel.

Anna is sitting outside Zoe’s house just looking. She has a flashback of her and Jack looking at a house for sale. This is where Anna tells Jack she is pregnant. This was good times between them. We can assume that bought the house. Zoe pulls up in her car and gives Anna the finger. You can see the tension between them two. And that’s Anna’s sister in law.

Priya does her research and finds out that Clyde had been calling Rachel’s phone over and over. Why is he trying to die down the battery. What does he have to hide. Priya also gets the report of the footprint found at the murder scene. It was a boot print that they cannot identify.

Anna goes to her Mom’s house with groceries. Anna ask her Mom how she is doing and then ask her to go to the doctor. Alice changes the subject as she cooks eggs for Alice. Anna gets a call from Jim who wants her to come back to Atlanta to cover the news since he can’t locate Lexy. Alice gives Anna the plate of eggs and it has egg shells in it. Anna looks at the plate and says she has to go back to Atlanta for work. Alice brings the eggs out to Anna in a plastic bag for Anna to eat later. Anna thanks Alice and then leaves. Maybe something is wrong with Alice.

Zoe is home with Meg and almost trips over Jack’s boots that were left on the kitchen floor. Zoe tells Meg to take Jack’s shoes to his room. Meg takes them upstairs and when she puts them down, the bottom of the boots are shown. Could they be a match for the print Priya just got from the report. Jack is becoming a suspect in my eyes.

Jack goes to the morgue again. Jack tells the attendant that he lost his wedding ring and if anyone had located it. Jack has the guy call the housekeeping staff to see if they found it. While the attendant is out of the room, Jack goes into the freezer trying to locate Rachel’s body. Jack finds her and tries to do facial recognition with Rachel phone. At first it does not work until he opens Rachel’s eyes and the phone unlocks. Jack looks at the last text and discovers that Helen knows Rachel was seeing Jack. Jack panics and deletes his contact information.

Helen calls the Sheriff’s office to ask for the sheriff. She leaves a message for the sheriff to call her back. Is she calling to report Jack?

This show is staring to get interesting. I think Jack is the killer and is covering his tracks. So far, everything points to him.

Season One Episode One

If you like whodunit shows, you will love this one. I’m only on the first episode and ready to see what happens next.

This episode starts with a woman bleeding out on top of a car; and it’s raining. Then, it shows Anna running in the rain, coming into her house with muddy shoes and wet clothes on. She washes her hands and throws away a table full of mail. She then looks in her mouth and she seem to have a sour gum.

Anna goes to the dentist the next day and is told she has in infection. The dentist gives her an antibiotic. From there she goes into a building, which seems to be where she works because she has a badge. The badge does not scan her past security and has to get the guard to help her. Turns out, the guard says her badge had not worked in a over a year, so he reactivates it. Okay, what is going on here. And where has she been for a year.

Anna is walking up the stairs and comes across a woman who seems to be a coworker. They exchange a few words, and she continues up the stairs. Anna ends up in an office of a man that may be her boss. After their conversation, he is her boss, Jim, and she has been gone for over a year. Anna is a news anchor and is now back for her job. Jim tells her that they had to replace her with Lexy, who was the lady on the stairs. Anna is upset that Jim gave her job to Lexy. Jim says Anna just disappeared and he didn’t even know if she was coming back.

Anna hears about a story of a dead woman and now wants Jim to let her be a field reporter to cover it. There are no details out yet about the story and Jim is wondering why she is so interested. Jim gives her to chance to make a story out of it. Jim gives Anna this one chance and Anna takes it. Anna request Richard as her camera man. He just happens to be Lexy’s husband. Look at Anna being sneaky and trying to make Lexy jealous. Be careful, Anna. That may backfire on you.

Jack wakes up to a child bouncing on his bed. He plays with the child and then sends her downstairs for breakfast. Jack gets dressed and heads downstairs to help the child get some breakfast. He asks the woman in the kitchen if she had his phone charger because his phone was dead. The woman just grunts. Jack then promises the child he would take her to soccer practice later. Jack leaves the house and heads to work which happens to be the Sheriff’s office. When Jack pulls up, he is greeted by someone he gets into his car and tells him she’s been trying to call him about an anonymous call they received about a dead body.

Jack and the women, Priya, get to the crime scene to see who the person is. After reviewing the body, Jack tells everyone at the scene that the woman is someone they know, and to keep her identity private until he tells the husband. And Jack wants everyone to look for her phone.

Anna gets to the small town and goes straight to the crime scene. Jack tells Priya to let the reporters know to stay back. Priya is not getting anyone to listen to her, so Jack comes to help her out. Out of the blue, Anna yells at Jack “Is it true you know her.” Jack turns around and sees Anna and then walks away. Priya asks if he knows the woman and Jack just brushes it off.

Jack is waiting outside the hotel where Anna is having breakfast with her camera man, Richard. Jack then goes into the hotel later and ask what room Anna is in and goes to her door. Jack starts banging on the door but then hears noises coming from inside the room. It sounded like Anna is having sex. Jack bangs on the door again and then leaves.

Anna doesn’t answer at first but then realizes it may be Jack by the way the person was banging on the door. Anna opens the door and sees Jack walking down the stairs. Richard asks Anna if she knows who was knocking. Anna looks at Richard and says it’s Jack, her husband.

Anna gets dressed and heads to her car. Anna gets to a house that turns out to be where her mom, Alice, lives. Jack shows up and Alice lets him in. Jack begins cleaning up and asking Alice how she is doing. Anna interrupts him, ask why he is there. Anna and Jack exchange a few words. Anna gets the identity of the body and it turns out to be Anna’s old friend, Rachel. Jack informs Anna that no one knows who the woman is; that it’s not public knowledge. Out of the blue, Alice asks Jack when did he get there. Anna looks at Alice and says that Jack has been in the house awhile and that she was talking to him earlier. That’s when Anna assumes something is wrong with her mother. Jack takes Anna to the porch and tells her Alice may be getting dementia and that they found her walking down the highway naked. Anna does not want to believe him. When was the last time she saw her mother.

Anna goes into her old bedroom where Alice is adding fresh sheets to her bed. After Alice leaves, Anna goes into her closet and pulls out a box. The box contains an old video camera and some pictures of her friends, including Rachel. Anna reaches down in the box and pulls out a bracelet.

Jack goes to the morgue and Priya is there waiting on him. The coroner tells them that the stab wounds killed Rachel; she was stabbed 40 times. The coroner also states she found semen and that she had sex. The coroner then goes on to say she needs DNA samples from everyone at the crime scene. Jack tells her he will get the DNA sample to her later. Why won’t Jack give a DNA sample. After Jack and Priya leave, the coroner pulls a woven bracelet out of Rachel’s mouth.

Jack and Priya go to Rachel’s house to tell the husband that she is dead. There is no answer at the door, but you can see someone looking out the window.

Jack goes home where his living with his sister, Zoe. The little girl must be his niece. Jack looks at the counter and realized that he forgot to come take the little girl to soccer practice like he promised. Zoe sees Anna on tv and asks Jack if he knew she was back. Anna is doing a broadcast and made the announcement that the identity of the woman was Rachel. Jack is furious because he told Anna that was not public knowledge. Jack leaves the house.

Anna has a flashback. Anna sees Jack and Rachel in the backseat of his truck having sex. They show Anna’s face and it’s the same clothes she had on the beginning of the episode.

Now what is going on. Is Anna the killer. Or is Jack the killer This explains why Jack has been so jumpy about this investigation so far. This is a slow start, but it’s putting all the characters in place.

Long Bright River

This show is on Peacock and there are 8 episodes for season one.

Mickey is a police officer in Philadelphia who is looking for her sister, Kacey. Her sister is a drug addict and goes missing at times. Mickey is having flashbacks from her childhood growing up on Kensington Street. I have read a lot of fiction books about the life on Kensington Street so this show is a very familiar and sad times. I will give my be writing more about each episode.

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season Six Episode Ten

This is the final episode of a show I have loved to watch over the years. You become attached to the characters just like they are real people. This episode was very interesting. I had no idea how it would end.

Boston is now in control again by the United States. Everyone is walking around relieved and happy for the victory. It took nineteen days for them to get Boston back. They are having bonfires burning everything that would remind them of Gilead.

June is thinking about Nick and some of the things they went through together. This is a true loss for her and she needs to grieve. June then sees Luke who is leaving to go help get the power restored. They make small talk and then Luke leaves. Not sure what is happening there. Their relationship has completely changed, which is understandable. June goes inside to see if there is an update on finding Janine. Mark tells her that they are working on it. He also tells her that since Gilead needs more High Commander, Hannah will be moving to DC with the Mckenzies. She smiles about being closer to Hannah. Mark tells June to get some rest that she is off duty now.

Before June goes to rest, she goes to visit Serena Joy who is once again a refugee. She goes on to tell June she could never go back to Gilead. Mark has arranged for her to be sent to a refugee camp. Before leaving, she tells June how sorry she is for all the bad things she did to her. June forgives her. Serena Joy gets on the bus. Serena Joy is mentioned one more time in the episode; but she does not have a big role her, which is a good thing.

Mark tells June that the restrictions have been lifted and that she can go explore her old neighbor. June is looking through the window of one of her favorite restaurants. And guess who walks up? Emily. It was so good to see her. Even June was stunned and gave her a big hug. June and Emily are shown walking down by the wall. Emily is telling June where she has been and what she has been doing since leaving Canada.

She finally takes her nap. She is woken up by someone for her to come with them. They ride to a checkpoint. June gets out and sees Mark and in the distance someone is dropped off at the border. June goes to see who it is and it’s Janine. Then Aunt Lydia and Noemi walk up with Charlotte. Noemi puts her down and she goes to Janine. Janine is ecstatic. June is happy for Janine and she sadly thinks of Hannah.

Buses come in from Alaska. Holly and Nichole get off and are greeted by June and Luke. Later, June is trying to get Nichole to sleep. June is also telling Nichole she has to leave her again for a while. June tells Nichole she has to go make sure all the little girls of Gilead are saved.

June joins Holly at the memory wall. Holly is very upset that June will be leaving again. June tells her she has to fight and that Holly is the one that taught her that. Holly then suggest June should write a book about what she experienced in Gilead.

June then sees Luke. He is on his way to another post in New York. The resistance is going to the border and will start working on getting control of New York again. They make plans to meet in DC. Luke then goes on to tell her that she needs to document the memories she had in Gilead.

June walks to a house where she once lived. It’s the Waterford house. The house hasn’t been touched since the fire. June opens the gate and goes in. She proceeds up the front steps and walks into the lobby. Then she goes up the stairs to her old room. She sits on the window sill and looks around her old room. She takes a recorder out and starts talking into it. The episode ends. This is how the The Handmaid’s Tale began.

I have no complaints on how the last episode ended. It’s nice how they made it positive and a relief for everyone involved. They are all finally free from Gilead and that’s what is important. Hope you like the ending. Now, let’s get ready for The Testament!!

The Handmaid’s Tail

Season Six Episode Nine Execution

This episode is what we all have been waiting for since the beginning of the show. You will cheer and maybe shed a tear or two. All the feelings you had throughout the seasons will be a victory for you. Now of course there will be some ups and downs, but hopefully you will enjoy this episode.

Handmaid’s marching through the streets of Gilead. And the song “Look What You Made Me Do” playing was perfect. They have their heads up high with the look of determination.

Serena Joy is showed running down the street holding Noah. She hears a noise of screaming and stops to see a handmaid stabbing a wife. Serena Joy hides behind a tree in fear. She has no idea what is going on.

The handmaid’s get into a van that will take them to the border. Aunt Phoebe introduces herself to June as Ava. June states that she will be staying behind and some of the handmaid’s will join her for the fight. They get to a stopping point where a truck with headlights is blocking them. The driver gets out and gets shot. It’s guardians and they start taking the handmaid’s out of the van. They are lined up, and the guardians ask for June. June comes forward and they take her into custody.

Nick starts to wake up and found Rose panicking because she thinks she is going into labor. Nick gets her to a hospital and finds out she is fine. She expresses her concerns and goes on to tell Nick he has to stop “her.” That she did this to their baby. Really. No one told you to eat the cake.

Serena Joy gets to Commander Lawrence’s house and is banging on the door. Commander Lawrence lets her in; and Serena Joy is asking what is going on. Commander Lawrence says it’s a rebellion going on. Naomi ask Serena Joy why she is out and not home on her wedding night. Serena Joy tells her she has left Commander Wharton.

Commander Wharton comes over and has a meeting with Commander Lawrence. Commander Wharton sees Serena Joy and tells her he has to move her to a secure location. Serena Joy says she is not leaving so Commander Wharton will have guardians posted outside the door. Commander Wharton proceeds to tell Serena Joy he is going to DC and gives her all the details. He also tells her that June has been captured and that she will get what God has intended for her with all the trouble she has caused.

After being captured, June is put in a cage. Commander Wharton comes to visit her. They exchange a few words. Before he leaves, June ask him to act in love and kindness. Of course, he left without saying another word to her.

Commander Lawrence is getting Naomi and Angela ready to go to a safe place, He tells Naomi to make sure that Angela hears her bedtime story every night. Naomi looks at him confused. He knows she not supposed to reading. He gives Angela a big huge. Commander Lawrence has really gotten attached to Angela.

June is escorted out to the courtyard. Ava is already there. Then they bring out Aunt Lydia. Then the handmaid’s they had in custody. Aunt Lydia is given a chance to speak and I must say she gave them a few harsh words. Then June gives her speech which is also very brutal. At the end of her speech the resistance set off bombs and June is raised up so that she can be hung. Rita shoots the guardian that controls the switch and releases it to bring June back down. Luke is at her side making sure she is okay. Now the pleasant surprise to me was Rita. She stepped up like she has done this in her past life and fought like her life depended on it. Luke was also a surprise taking control. He learned how to use a gun. In the first season, he was afraid of a gun. There are US planes flying overhead. This was an exciting moment. I was up cheering and clapping. I know it’s only a show.

The resistance take over the old Boston Globe building and turn it into their headquarters. I’m thinking they have either killerd most of the guardians or run them out of the city.

Mark and Ava are in charge, them both being CIA. They are trying to find out where the remaining Commanders are hiding. June finds out the Serena Joy is on location across the street; and she goes over there to ask if she knows where the Commanders are. Serena Joy plays ignorant at first but finally tells June where they are. They call in Commander Lawrence with the intent for him to help them out.

June goes with Commander Lawrence to Bedford where the plane is waiting. He gets out of the car with briefcase with the bomb. Before he can get to the plane, the other Commanders come and the plan cannot happen. Commander Wharton invites Commander Lawrence to go with them. He agrees knowing that if he gets on that plane, he would not be getting off. Here comes another car. It has Nick in it. He goes to get on the plan. June is filled with emotions because she also knows that if Nick gets on the plane, he will also not make it off. The plane goes up and a few minutes later, it blows up.

Okay. How do you feel about the plane blowing up with Nick and Lawrence on it. Not sure if I feel bad for Nick. Maybe a little for Lawrence. This episode was the best. Not sure if episode ten can top this one. I waited a week before I watched this one and I’m glad I did. Hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did.

The Handmaid’s Tail

Season Six Episode Eight Exodus

Then comes the groom Commander Wharton and Nick is waiting for him at the altar. Serena Joy comes in with her lavish wedding gown on. What color is that thing. I must say, it was gorgeous. What martha against her will had to sew that thing. Serena Joy holds her head up high as she walks down the aisle. The handmaid’s start passing the blades around to each other. Nick gives a speech, really. Does he really believe half the garbage that is coming out of his mouth. And for the record, I always thought he was a snake.

After the ceremony, the reception begins. The first dance is Commander Wharton and Serena Joy. Then all the other commanders with their wives join in. Just like most weddings. The Red Center handmaid’s start handing out blades to the outpost handmaid’s.

Serena Joy makes her way over to the handmaid’s and wants to give them a speech. She thanked them for their service and sacrifice. Really. Like they had a choice. She promises them things would be different going forward. Rita comes over to get her because it’s time to cut the cake. Commander Wharton and Serena Joy cut the cake. How precious.

The cake is distributed to everyone. They are eating enjoying the cake and wine not knowing the cake has a sedative in it. The sedative will take one to two hours to start working. The only ones not eating the cake are Commander Lawrence, Rita and of course the handmaid’s. Aunt Phoebe lets them know it’s time to leave. They all slide their cake under the covered seats and get up to leave. June tells Moira she is headed to Commander Bell’s house. Aunt Lydia comes in while they are leaving and thinks she sees June. Commander Lawerence and Aunt Phoebe tell her she is seeing things and that she is confused. Aunt Phoebe gets Aunt Lydia food, wine and a piece of cake.

Serena Joy and Commander Wharton enter their new home. Excuse me, their mansion. Commander Wharton goes on to introduce Serena Joy to her new handmaid. Serena Joy is devastated. She then expressed that she did not need a handmaid in her house. There were a lot of words exchanged between them. Serena Joy tries to leave but the guardian is in the way. Eventually, Commander Wharton tells the guardian to leave and Serena Joy flees the house carring Noah.

While Aunt Lydia is eating she notices something under one of the chairs. She ask the waiter who sat there and he tells her the handmaid’s. Aunt Lydia goes over lifts the covered chairs and sees all the cake not eaten by the handmaid’s. She then knows something is up. She is so nosey.

June and the outpost handmaid’s are headed back to their assigned houses. At the end, June heads toward Commander Bells’ house.

Aunt Lydia goes to the Red Center and sees Aunt Phoebe, who takes her to see the handmaid’s. Aunt Lydia looks around suspiciously, and pulls back the covers of one of them to see the handmaid is fully dressed.

June gets inside of Commander Bell’s house. She lets him see her and then stabs him. Janine comes into the room, sees he is dead and thanks June.

Aunt Lydia is in a rage and theatens to have Aunt Phoebe shot. Moira stands up and confronts Aunt Lydia. Aunt Lydia does not recognize her but knows that June is involved somehow. June comes in the room. She talks directly to Aunt Lydia. Then Janine comes in the room. Eventually, Aunt Lydia lets the girls go. The handmaid’s rush out of the Red Center into the night. Where are they going?

Wow, a lot happened this episode. I was on the edge of my seat when the handmaid’s were passing the blades to one another. I just knew someone would see them. The next episode is out but I’m trying my best not to watch it yet. Let’s see how long I last. Hope you enjoyed this episode.

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season Six Episode Seven Shattered

The episodes get keep getting better and better. In this one, June is all in her feelings and she should be.

June and Nick are still in the closet. She can’t even look at him. He is so disappointed he got caught. That’s what you get, Nick.

They show Jezebels when the guardians come in and push the girls into the bathroom showers. Janine gets in the way. and tries to stop the guardians. They grab her out of the way and start shooting the girls. Janine looks on screaming.

Finally, Commander Wharton leaves. June and Nick come out of the closet. Nick knows he can’t make it right, so he acts like he didn’t know, but states that the girls at Jezebels would be slaughtered. June ask Nick to take her back. Halfway there, June ask him to stop the car. June gets out and starts walking. Nick yells for her to stop; and then says some harsh words to her. Really Nick. You expect her to be that forgiving.

Aunt Lydia goes to visit Jezebels and sees where the girls were slaughtered. She is so emotional. She finds the picture that Angela drew for Janine and starts to cry. Why are you crying? You are to blame for this too.

June gets back to the command center. Luck sees her and lets her know about what happened at Jezebels. June then tells Luke that Nick knows. Luke ask her how; and she says she told him. She thought she could trust him. Luke goes off on her. June takes in all in. No one will trust her now.

Rita goes to ask Nick if June made it back okay. Nick is in a foul mood and states he will never see her again. and that June thinks he is a monster. Rita tries to convince him he will see June again. She also mentions that they were friends way before June, and he will be fine. Nick goes on to say, they were never friends. Nick states that Rita is only being nice to him so he can help her get her family out of Gilead. Really Nick, you had to go there. Rita states she was counting on him. Nick is such a jerk.

Serena Joy has a bridal shower in Gilead with the wives. The wives are talking down about New Bethlehem. Serena Joy ensures them that New Bethlehem is a safe place. She is also irritated with them. Serena Joy lets them know there will be no handmaids in New Bethlehem and they seem applauded. Not a good bridal shower at all. Commander Wharton comes to see Serena Joy and sees how upset she is. After she tells him what happened, Commander Wharton states they will treat her with respect. Serena Joy then proceeds to ask if she can have a proper wedding. Commander Wharton tells her that it would have to be in Gilead with everyone in attendance, including the handmaids. She didn’t seem to happy about that, but that’s not going to stop her from having the perfect wedding. Serena Joy selling her soul. She just wants the wives to be jeaslous of her.

Aunt Lydia gets back to the Red Center and is told that Janine had been spared. Aunt Phoebe tells her Janine is now a handmaid for Commander Bell; and has requested a new cloak for her. Aunt Lydia is overjoyed.

June is now the outcast at the command center. Everyone is giving her looks, and whispering to each other. Moira comes to see her. June tells Moira that she thought she could trust Nick. Moira gives June some encouraging words. June goes outside and tries to talk to Ellen, but she refuses to even look at her. June sees Luke and tries to give him an out but he doesn’t want out of the marriage.

Aunt Lydia goes to deliver the cloak for Janine. Commander Bell answers the door, and refuses to let her in. Aunt Lydia ask if she could see Janine; and Commander Bells states she’s not available at the moment. Aunt Lydia says she will see her at the wedding.

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season Six Episode Six Surprise

This episode will make you want to slap someone. You always have to be careful who you tell your business to. Sometimes you can’t even trust the people closest to you to keep their mouth closed.

Commander Lawrence stops on the way and question June why she is back in Gilead. She tells him, and he then confess to her that he overheard the commanders wanting to put him on the wall. That gives him good reason now to help the resistance. Commander Lawrence takes them back to his house and have them stay in his basement. As you can remember, that’s where all the martha’s got together for their meetings. Naomi hears him and comes down asking him what he is doing and to be quiet.

June ask Commander Lawrence to take her back to Jezebel’s because they accidently left the letters behind. Commander Lawrence informs her that he cannot do that. June then calls NIck to see if he can go to Jezebel’s and he agrees to do so. When Nick is there, he runs into Commander Bell. Nick makes up an excuse as to why he is there. Nick later comes to Commander Lawrence’s house to give her the letters. Nick wants June to go spend time with him at his house in New Bethlehem, since Rose and Commander Wharton have gone to DC. June agrees to go. June. You have a whole husband waiting for you in No Man’s Land. What are you doing, girl.

Aunt Lydia goes to see Janine to give her the good news that she is getting her out of Jezebel’s. They have a few words and Janine tells Aunt Lydia to leave. Janine states that if she can’t get her Charlotte, then there is nothing she can do to help her. After Aunt Lydia leaves, Janine looks at the cookies and starts throwing things. Okay, we all need to have a meltdown every now and again.

Nick gets to his house and sees Commander Wharton in the window. Commander Wharton is not supposed to be there, so Nick tells June to wait in the car, so he found out while he is there. Nick tells June if it takes more than ten minutes to go to Serena Joy’s house down the street.

Commander Wharton confronts Nick and ask him what he was doing at Jezebel’s. Nick makes up all kind of excuses but Commander Wharton does not believe him. He thinks Nick is cheating on Rose. Commander Wharton then tells Nick to tell him the truth because his life depended on it. Nick be strong and don’t spell the beans. He looked scared at that moment that something could really happen to him.

June sees that Nick is not coming out, so she gets out of the car and goes to Serena Joy’s house. Serena Joy is shocked to see her but lets her in. June ask if she can stay the night there with her until Nick can come get her. Serena Joy tries to get the real reason out of June, but it did not work. They have an intense conversation but in the end, Serena Joy gives in to June staying there.

The next day, Serena Joy surprises June with a visit from Rita. Rita is so happy to see June, and they have breakfast together. Ritas tells June that she works at the bakery and is happy but is only there to get her family out of Gilead. June ask for Rita’s help with the resistance but Rita declines. June understands and only want the best for Rita.

After his interesting night, Commander Lawrence is trying to teach Angela how to play chess. He is feeling confident that the resistance will take down all the commanders, and it will leave him in charge. Naomi comes in to get Angela for her art class. Naomi is so annoying. And Commander Lawrence can’t stand her.

Nick comes over and ask June to come to Paris with him. June is confused and really does not know what to say. There a knock at the door and they look and see Commander Wharton. Serena Joy comes in the room; and then makes June and Nick hide in the closet. June and Nick listen as Commander Wharton talks saying he learned some news that the resistance were going to attack Jezebel’s. He goes on to say proudly that he shut Jezebel’s down. He also praises Nick for telling him. June can’t believe what she just heard. Her Nick. Told the enemy. June can’t even look at him and she can’t move. What has Nick done.

As you can see, Nick saved himself not even thinking about anyone else. His world was about to come crumbling down; and he was not going to have that. This episode shocked me the most so far. I did not see that coming. June thought she could trust Nick with her life, so telling him the plan didn’t seem out of the norm for her. She needs to get out of there and go back to No Man’s Land. No Paris for you, Nick.

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season Six Episode Five Janine

My girl Janine is back and ready to take action. As in episode four, June warned Moira and Luke that things can turn bad in Gilead in a split second. The journey they take in the episode will have your very nervous.

June and Moira are put into a hiding place on the truck that will go to Jezebel’s. When they get there, June and Moira get out and agree to meet Luke and Ellen back at the location in two hours. June and Moira head to the girls’ dressing room looking for Janine. They are told that she is up in the penthouse.

Commander Wharton ask Nick about the two guardians that were shot. He also informs Nick that one of them is in a coma. Nick is now worried that the guardian will remember who shot him.

Aunt Lydia is at Serena Joy’s house in New Bethlehem asking about the retired handmaids and where they should go. Serena Joy has not clue nor is she concerned about what should happen to them. Aunt Lydia is upset. Serena Joy then suggest opening a fertility center where the retired handmaid’s could work. Serena Joy is probably just saying that to calm Aunt Lydia.

June and Moira go up to the penthouse stating they need to freshen up the room before the commanders come in. They go inside and see Janine from across the room. She is singing and dancing with some of the other girls. She is probably drunk out of her mind. Wouldn’t you be too. Janine sees them and goes over pretending like she does not know them. Janine gives them a key to one of the rooms for them to meet her there. Before June and Moira try to leave, one of the commander spills his drink and demands that June come over to clean it up. Commander Lawrence comes in and excuses the martha, not knowing it was June.

June and Moira make it to the room and wait for Janine. Janine comes in so happy to see them. June tells her about the plan and Janine states that the girls are ready. They stay ready she says. Janine has to leave and June tells her she will see them in a week. Janine gives June letters that the girls wrote for their families. June suggest that Janine leaves with them, but she says she has to stay with the girls to get them ready. June and Moira start arguing about who suffered the most in Gilead. June and Moira are getting ready to leave the room when a commander comes in asking why they are in there. The commander asks lots of questions and threatens them. He forces Moira on the bed and before he can do anything, June and Moira start fighting him. They get him down and that’s the end of him. Now they have to figure out what to do with the body. They go get a cart and struggle to get him in there; then they wheel him to the inferno. Alarms are starting to go off because they figure out the commander is missing. How did they figure that out so quickly. Moira is freaking out and June is trying to stay calm.

Nick goes to the hospital to visit the guardian and find his mother there. Nick suggest he can sit with him since she has to leave. The guardian wakes up and Nick ask him some questions and sees he can’t remember much. Nick turns to leave the room, but then changes his mind. Nick closes the door to the room. Well, you know what will happened next.

Commander Lawrence is just walking around while the other commanders are having fun with the girls. Janine flirts with Commander Lawrence and Commander Bell threatens to beat her. Commander Lawrence agrees to take Janine in a room with him again saving her from torture. Janine says she has to leave. Before she leaves, she shows Commander Lawrence a peep hole the girls use to spy on the commanders. Lawrence hears the commanders talking about him. They are talking about closing New Bethlehem and putting him on the wall. He is shocked and concerned at what he has heard.

Commander Wharton goes to meet Serena Joy in some library. He has a surprise for her. He ask Serena Joy to marry him. This women just always pops up and wins in the end. I just knew he was interested in her. So much for being an independent woman, Serena Joy.

After June and Moira get the body into the inferno, they try to make it to the location where they are to meet Luke and Ellen. They get there but can’t get to the van, because there is a guardian standing there talking to Luke telling him they need to leave. June has Moira follow her into the parking lot where they see Commander Lawrence getting into his car. As Lawrence drives, June stands in front of his car. Commander Lawrence does not seem surprised to see June. June pleads with him to put them in his car so they can escape the parking lot.

What an episode. It had me on the edge of my seat. Moira was freaking out just like June said she would and almost got them in trouble. It’s too late to turn back now. Will they make it back to No Man’s Land? Will Commander Lawrence join the resistance now?
