Season Four, Episode Three

This episode starts out with June being tortured by a man who works for Gilead. He is really brutal and scary looking. They try everything to get June to talk and it only takes one thing to get her spill the beans – Hannah.

Aunt Lydia decides to send all the girls to a breeding colony where they will be in the fields by day and handmaids at night but not assigned to a Commander. What in the world is this mess. I thought the handmaids had to be clean and pure like for the commanders. Anyway. They are on their way, she says her goodbyes to Nick with a long kiss, really. They are riding in a van with Aunt Lydia; get to a crossing rail and will have to wait for the train to go by. In the meantime, June and girls are thinking of a way to escape. They do. They start running. The guardian starts shooting at them and kills two of the girls.

June and Janine make it over the railroad track before the train come. Alma and Brianna are running fast but do not make it across; they are killed. It was tragic. Why did it happen? Now the group is just June and Janine.

What a sad episode. June as always had played Nick with that kiss. She knows he will continue to keep her safe. Now he will have to look for her again. I hope he does not find her this time. Maybe with less handmaids to keep up with, June and Janine can move faster. And they need to get out of those red clothes and get some regular normal clothes. They really have to get out of the place. And to think it’s Boston and some part in Pennsylvania before it became Gilead.

Season Four, Episode Two

June and the group seem to be getting along well at the farm; they are enjoying the freedom they have found. But like June said “they are not really free; Gilead is looking for them.”

The guardian eventually show up at the fame looking for the group. they question the Keys and must have gone back to report them. Mrs. Keys did sound a little shaky. Besides, she only a child.

So June set out to find a safe house for the group. She goes the the local Jezebels to get help from one of the ladies. June goes back to the farm with her plan. In the meantime, Mrs. Keys teaches her how to make poison. June takes a jar of the poison back to Jezebels and puts in the liquor container. She instructs the same lady to give the drink to the Commanders to make them sick or better yet die. She heads back to the farm with her plan in motion. When June gets back to the farm, it doesn’t feel right to her. June is faced with Nick and gets caught. I think Nick had something to do with it; I don’t trust him.

June is handcuffed and taken to some building and is faced with Aunt Lydia again. Talk about bad luck. She is put in a room and tortured because she will not five up information about where the group is.

In Canada. Moira is dealing with the new children that have arrived; trying to found their closest relatives. Some of the children are missing their parents in Gilead because that’s all they know. She gets help from Rita with one little boy. Rita seems to be still a little nervous about her new life; it’s understandable. Luke does not know how to feel. He’s mad. He’s scared. He’s worried for his June. Did it ever dawn on him that she is not leaving Hannah behind in Gilead? She told him that on the tape. Really, Luke.

Wow, this season is moving fast! I’m excited!!
