Season Five – Fairytale

This episode has some action in it and you know see where the show is going.

June, Luke and Moira meet up with Lily because she can help them get information on Hannah. They have to go meet someone at the border of Gilead but at first are reluctant to go. Luke speaks up and says he will go in so June agrees to go with him. Look at Luke stepping up. You know he is scared!!

June and Luke end up at a bowling alley in Gilead with Jaden, who is part of the resistance. Jaden gives June and Luke information about where Hannah is living. June and Nick look concerned; and Jaden states that Hannah is in training to be a wife and is treated like a princess. Jaden hands them a flash drive that has all the information June and Luke need to found Hannah.

June and Luke are ready to leave now that they have the information they came for. Jaden tells them it would be hard to get them out and they should wait until daybreak. June and Nick again look concerned but convinces each other they will wait. People!! Always follow your instincts!!

At daybreak, Jaden takes them back taking a “short cut.” Really?? They get almost to the NoMansLand border and Jaden steps on a minefield and it explodes. The explosion attracts attention and a group of armed men come and take June and Luke away. Now this could have all been avoided if they insisted on Jaden taking them back right away.

Serena is a hot mess. She starts to feel trapped at the Wheeler house. Now is experiencing how the Handmaids felt trapped in Gilead. Don’t feel sorry for her; she deserves every second of every day. Serena is reminded of the limitations she has being a women. She wants to make the center a infertility clinic, and Commander Putman tells her he will think about it. They show flashbacks of how Gilead started with Serena and Mrs. Putnam walking through a center where the kidnapped children are kept. Apparently the wives will get to choose which of the children they want to raise. Just think now. Serena has no husband and pregnant. Talk about karma.
