Season Six Episode Nine Execution
This episode is what we all have been waiting for since the beginning of the show. You will cheer and maybe shed a tear or two. All the feelings you had throughout the seasons will be a victory for you. Now of course there will be some ups and downs, but hopefully you will enjoy this episode.
Handmaid’s marching through the streets of Gilead. And the song “Look What You Made Me Do” playing was perfect. They have their heads up high with the look of determination.
Serena Joy is showed running down the street holding Noah. She hears a noise of screaming and stops to see a handmaid stabbing a wife. Serena Joy hides behind a tree in fear. She has no idea what is going on.
The handmaid’s get into a van that will take them to the border. Aunt Phoebe introduces herself to June as Ava. June states that she will be staying behind and some of the handmaid’s will join her for the fight. They get to a stopping point where a truck with headlights is blocking them. The driver gets out and gets shot. It’s guardians and they start taking the handmaid’s out of the van. They are lined up, and the guardians ask for June. June comes forward and they take her into custody.
Nick starts to wake up and found Rose panicking because she thinks she is going into labor. Nick gets her to a hospital and finds out she is fine. She expresses her concerns and goes on to tell Nick he has to stop “her.” That she did this to their baby. Really. No one told you to eat the cake.
Serena Joy gets to Commander Lawrence’s house and is banging on the door. Commander Lawrence lets her in; and Serena Joy is asking what is going on. Commander Lawrence says it’s a rebellion going on. Naomi ask Serena Joy why she is out and not home on her wedding night. Serena Joy tells her she has left Commander Wharton.
Commander Wharton comes over and has a meeting with Commander Lawrence. Commander Wharton sees Serena Joy and tells her he has to move her to a secure location. Serena Joy says she is not leaving so Commander Wharton will have guardians posted outside the door. Commander Wharton proceeds to tell Serena Joy he is going to DC and gives her all the details. He also tells her that June has been captured and that she will get what God has intended for her with all the trouble she has caused.
After being captured, June is put in a cage. Commander Wharton comes to visit her. They exchange a few words. Before he leaves, June ask him to act in love and kindness. Of course, he left without saying another word to her.
Commander Lawrence is getting Naomi and Angela ready to go to a safe place, He tells Naomi to make sure that Angela hears her bedtime story every night. Naomi looks at him confused. He knows she not supposed to reading. He gives Angela a big huge. Commander Lawrence has really gotten attached to Angela.
June is escorted out to the courtyard. Ava is already there. Then they bring out Aunt Lydia. Then the handmaid’s they had in custody. Aunt Lydia is given a chance to speak and I must say she gave them a few harsh words. Then June gives her speech which is also very brutal. At the end of her speech the resistance set off bombs and June is raised up so that she can be hung. Rita shoots the guardian that controls the switch and releases it to bring June back down. Luke is at her side making sure she is okay. Now the pleasant surprise to me was Rita. She stepped up like she has done this in her past life and fought like her life depended on it. Luke was also a surprise taking control. He learned how to use a gun. In the first season, he was afraid of a gun. There are US planes flying overhead. This was an exciting moment. I was up cheering and clapping. I know it’s only a show.
The resistance take over the old Boston Globe building and turn it into their headquarters. I’m thinking they have either killerd most of the guardians or run them out of the city.
Mark and Ava are in charge, them both being CIA. They are trying to find out where the remaining Commanders are hiding. June finds out the Serena Joy is on location across the street; and she goes over there to ask if she knows where the Commanders are. Serena Joy plays ignorant at first but finally tells June where they are. They call in Commander Lawrence with the intent for him to help them out.
June goes with Commander Lawrence to Bedford where the plane is waiting. He gets out of the car with briefcase with the bomb. Before he can get to the plane, the other Commanders come and the plan cannot happen. Commander Wharton invites Commander Lawrence to go with them. He agrees knowing that if he gets on that plane, he would not be getting off. Here comes another car. It has Nick in it. He goes to get on the plan. June is filled with emotions because she also knows that if Nick gets on the plane, he will also not make it off. The plane goes up and a few minutes later, it blows up.
Okay. How do you feel about the plane blowing up with Nick and Lawrence on it. Not sure if I feel bad for Nick. Maybe a little for Lawrence. This episode was the best. Not sure if episode ten can top this one. I waited a week before I watched this one and I’m glad I did. Hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did.
