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.

Episode Four IV

In this episode, you will not be happy about what you are about to learn. Try to get through it without getting too upset.

Flashback. Catherine and Jonathan having sex and afterwards, Jonathan takes more pictures of Catherine. Then Catherine asks Jonathan to pretend like he does not know her when they are in public. Okay, Ms. Lady with secrets. It’s a little to late for that.

Robert is still at the cafe reading the book. He pays his bill and finally heads off the work. He forgot he had a meeting and is late getting there. His assistant brings him an antacid so he can make it through the meeting. During the entire meeting, Robert is not paying attention but thinking about what he had just read in the book. After everyone realizes he is not paying attention, Robert gets up and leaves and goes back to his office. He then gets on the phone and calls Nicolas to meet up with him later.

Flashback. Stephen recalls when Jonathan dies and how Nancy went downhill and would not leave the house. Nancy stopped wanting to get dressed or leave the house. She eventually quits her job because she didn’t want to leave the house. Nancy was so obsessed at finding out if Jonathan was in pain when he died, that she filled the bathtub with water and put her head under the water. Stephen found her and thought she was trying to drown herself. The house became a mess because Nancy sat in Jonathan’s room all day. Nancy finally tells Stephen that she was moving into Jonathan’s room for good. They had found out that Nancy has cancer and was dying. Stephen took food up to her daily. Nancy died a few months later. Stephen buries her and now he is left alone.

Catherine also is in a meeting and not paying attention. Her assistant after the meeting lets Catherine know that she had found the man she was looking for. Catherine blows her off saying she no longer needs the information. Catherine later leaves the office and goes by a bookstore where she sees the book on display there. Catherine gets upset and leaves the store immediately and almost gets hit by a car.

Flashback. Jonathan is at the beach watching Catherine sunbathe. He is taking more pictures of her as she looks his way. Jonathan is obsessed with her. Catherine gets up and ask a woman near her to watch Nicolas. Jonathan follows her to a bathroom stall, and they have sex there. They finally began to leave the stall and Jonathan tells Catherine he is coming back to London with her. Catherine is shocked and tells him not to do it; she is furious that he thinks he can just follow her back home. Catherine realizes the Nicolas in alone and goes back to the beach. Catherine is back with Nicolas and decides to take a nap. She has not paid the child any attention all day. What is wrong with her. We know she is distracted with her own needs; not her child’s needs.

Catherine gets home and when she opens the door, there is a bag packed. She sees Robert and Nicolas in the kitchen eating. Robert proceeds to pretend like Catherine is going on a business trip and she is shocked. Robert then gets on the phone to call a taxi for her. She goes upstairs and sees her suitcase already packed for her to leave. She is devastated. She carries the bag downstairs and tries to talk to Robert, but he refuses to listen to her. I wasn’t expecting that but Robert is not playing with her. Where is she going to go?

Stephen meets up with his friend Justin and lets him know he wants to write another novel. Stephen ask Justin to help him set up a Facebook page about a dead boy. Justin is concerned but gives Stephen the name of someone who can set up the page for him.

Flashback. Catherine wakes up from her nap and discovers that Nicolas is gone along with the small boat he was playing in. She looks toward the sea and Nicolas has gone into the water and is too far out to get back. The current is taking the boat farther out into the sea. Catherine is yelling for help. Jonathan hears her and goes into the water to save Nicholas. Jonathan is fighting the currents to keep from going under. Others see what is happening and a group of men go into the water to get Nicolas safely to the shore. Meantime, Jonathan is still fighting the currents and begins to call for help. Catherine sees him stuggling but does not say a word. Someone else hears him calling for help and the same group of men swim out to rescue him. They bring Jonathan back to the shore, perform CPR on him but it is too late. Jonathan was dead. Catherine is looking on the entire time like she doesn’t even know who he is. Really? You have spent intimate moments with this man and yet your pretend like you don’t know him. What is she thinking? I’m thinking that now she does not have to worry about him following her back to London. Catherine then gets up and walks away with Nicolas in her arms.

So, this episode was tough to watch. We finally found out how Jonathan died. Catherine is a cold hearted person to just leave him there. Honestly, she really didn’t know too much about him but who would just leave like that. Would you leave or try to help? I would at least pretend to be concerned instead of just walking way. Maybe also she was concerned that Nicolas would see Jonathan and call his name. How are you feeling? What do you think of the episode?
