Season Five – Ballet
If you could have seen June’s face, oh boy. If June could have reached out and touched Serena, that would have been the end of the season.
At the end of episode one, Serena gets her grand send off for Fred. You can see June in white getting ready for the ballet; and Serena in black getting ready for Fred’s funeral. Now I’m assuming that June is being portrayed as the angel and Serena as the devil. In my opinion, they are both evil but I will leave that up to you.
The funeral is filmed live on the networks; and you can see Serena proudly walking in the parade. I’m assuming it is the Main Street in Gilead. Serena has the entire town participating and no one looks happy to be there. I mean, it’s a funeral and no one should look happy, but it’s Fred who they look at as a traitor.
Serena is walking like she is on the runway and everyone is looking at her. She had the nerve to stop in front of the Handmaids; and they had to bow down to her. Really.
In the meantime, June is watching the ballerina perform and is getting teary eyed. Was she thinking about the time when Serena gave her that music box as a gift; and all June saw was a girl trapped in a box like she was. June is with Luke on a date. After the ballet, they are having coffee and seem to be having a great time reconnecting.
June and Nick turn to leave and what do they see? The funeral of Fred live on tv and the camera is on Serena. Serena gets the the end of the parade and turns to be greeted by a group of young kids not dressed in pink/blue. One girl gets out of line and comes to bring white flowers over to Serena. The tv camera is focused on her – it’s Hannah!! Serena has a smirk on her face as she holds Hannah’s hand looking at the camera.
June and Luke are shocked at first but then realize it is Hannah. They are blown away! Serena purposely found Hannah and used her to get back at June. If looks could kill. Serena did not think that through. You never poke at a Momma Bear! Hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
