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.
