Season Four Episode Seven

This episode takes June finally to Canada. Luke walked her off the boat where she had to ask for asylum in Canada. It was a great moment! I don’t know about June, but I have waited for this month for three seasons. They take June to a very fancy hotel where she is to stay until debriefed. Luke is there with her and tries his best to stay out of her way. This is June’s time to sink it all in. She is still sad because she does not have Hannah with her. She takes a shower and instead of eating takes a very long nap. Luke states she slept for 17 hours. All that fighting Gilead takes a toll on you.

Luke is so patient with June. He knows she has been through a lot and is not rushing her to be close to him. He tells June he tried to get her out and to find Hannah but could not. June then tells him that Hannah is big now and that she knows that they love her. What June does not tell him is about her last encounter with Hannah where she was scared of June.

She is questioned by the American authorities but Luke insist on taking her home. June wants to see Hannah. They get to the house and June takes it all in. She opens the front door and there is Nicole with Emily and Moira. June takes Nicole and holds her tight. Later that evening, June is holding Nicole and telling her about her other father, Nick. June seems pleased with the care given to Nicole.

The next morning, June wants to go the grocery store with Moira. June walks in the store and relieved it’s not like Gilead. She realizes that a lot has changed in seven years. Seems like a lifetime to me and I’m not even there. June starts to have flashbacks and it takes her a moment to pull herself together.

Moira is happy to have June home. Her break up with Oona was sad but June to her was more important. Moira chose her friend over a new love; that was the right thing to do. Besides, Oona says she would not have done the same thing, but who knows what you would do if you were in that situation. Moira tries to talk to Una who agrees to meet with her later. Not sure if I like Oona.

Later that evening, Emily brings Oliver over for her to meet. Emily had talked a lot about him when they walked together in Gilead. The big moment was when June sees Rita. It was a tearful moment for both of them. The group of Gilead survivors finally tells June that Serena is pregnant by Fred. June gets furious which is understandable since she was the Waterford handmaid.

June can’t sleep that night and calls for Mark to come take her to go see Serena. June let her have it. I felt frightened for Serena. She got all in her face. Serena is crying but who cares. June seems more relaxed after her scolding of Serena. She starts to relax in her new life in Canada. She meets with the authorities to tell them more about Gilead and the Waterfords. Let’s see what happens.

Can’t wait for the next episode!! Where is Janine?
