Steve Varley: Hello, June did indeed rape Luke. I don't like it. I have made an update to my review, will call it a part 2! Talking all about THAT scene. Please watch. https://youtu.be/czqhqhh2Z-s

Bianca Hatfield: Great review. Thanks. So excited to see how June evolves as she adjusts to outside life

Selena Rivera: I thought that that scene in the bed with June and Luke was June imagining Luke as Nick because she did the exact thing to Nick in that warehouse he kept her in seasons ago when he first tried to get her out of Gilead

Eimear O' Shea: This episode where she rapes Luke made me want to stop watching it.

ThePixievamp: I loved this episode! The scene where she tells Serena everything is so satisfying. A++++++

Claire Ferguson: Your viewers need a lesson on consent because holy crap this comment section is not it

Vikas: Where is janine????

Shannon J: It felt like I was in a toxic relationship with Serena, and realized quickly that Fred is insane, but Serena is perfectly sane and that's what makes her worse. I don't like Oona either, never did. June might as well had been her blood sister at this point she couldn't have left her behind.

Taxi By Simone: You're so amazing Steve.

Sarah Beth: It’s the Coldplay cover at the end for me.

ApacheMagic: It’s a ten from me too. Superb

Michele: Notice June is wearing the wives blue colored shirt.

GiGi: But but you rushed through that scene where June & Luke got intimate, you did not say it as it is: JUNE RAPED LUKE. Also shows by the way Luke was acting when he was playing with them by the snow man. He knew something not right happened last night.

Brianna Laola: You forgot to mention how she raped Luke after he waited so long for her. She also has gotten a lot of people killed, her describing Serena is her also describing herself and how she slowly became the villain.

Randi Kiki: In case your wondering I just subscribed because of your Handmaids Tale reviews. I have to see if all your content is up my alley before I become a sponsor. Love your Handmaids videos. Love the interviews with the cast also.

Laura E: I could be wrong, but that's not a burka. There's no face covering in the show

Dona Harrell: I don't get this red dress? Liberated handmaid?

Kristi Fischer: Thanks for all your effort and research. I look forward to your breakdowns every week and it’s always so thorough. I also agree with you on everything, always, but can’t articulate it as fluently as you do, so thanks for explaining what I’m experiencing/feeling . Love from Cape Town x

Laurel Inheritance: If we are talking about the Testiments I want to see Hannah’s story as a wife or handmaiden

Tomás E: Am I the only one wondering how does he manage to get a matching outfit for every episode? 🤯

Dona Harrell: I want to see Fred and Sarena get back to Giliad without a baby, fred to be punished, Sarena turned over to Aunt Lydia as a futile handmaid.

Ashley Murphy: So technically the commander could be Nicole's father?

black cat: This epidode was probably the best acting out of the whole series so far. I cannot believe how intense it was. From the joy of her coming home, to the panic attack in the supermarket, to telling serena off and to the unconcentual sex with Luke. This episode deserve an Emmy for the acting, believability and the emotional aspects.

SoulChelle From The Chat: This episode was a masterpiece! Beautifully layered and I lived for the June and Serena confrontation! The Luke rape scene was awful but like Moira said, they are all completely screwed up about sex.

Stress-Free K: Steve looks so sexy in his ruby red, silk KIMONO. I feel like I wanna join him at the hotel for a lovely spa and mud bath treatment. This attention to detail so delicious.

JJ CsCo95: As a Trauma and Crisis Counselor, and as someone who has been victimized in the past, I thought June’s coping mechanisms was one of the most realistic depictions I’ve ever watched in film. Since she has not received ANY form of treatment it is very normal to reenact your trauma. The parallels drawn between Serena and June, the blurred line between June talking about Serena or herself, June screaming that line at Serena, and June’s sexually inappropriate reenactment was all realistic. This depiction of June was very trauma informed and gives justice to victims of abuse. We do not act like altruistic, wise, and loving people after being so traumatized. To become that you have to put in a lot of work and challenge yourself to shed your abuser’s pain that they transferred on to you. If anyone is interested in learning more about this I would encourage you to read about society’s construct of an “ideal type” or “positive stereotype” of victims, and victim-offender overlap. June’s anger in this episode (which is now one of my favorites of the series) was realistic and palpable.

maracheno: I took the ending differently... I feel like the monologue at the end had to do with Serena but also about June. She has completely turned... her really wants to make Gilead hurt as much as they hurt her. She doesn’t want to heal...

Peggy Wade: OMG!!! June in the opening scenes! Elizabeth Moss is a PHENOMENAL actress!!!! I totally agree about all the awesomeness of the confrontation between June and Serena. I do think the description June is giving of Serena has another layer. I think June is describing how she feels about herself. I think she fears she is no better than Serena because of all the things she has had to do to get where she is at the moment, and feels like she needs to warn others about herself.

deborah brunson: I'm sorry I missed -who is the father of Serena's baby????

Kathy Knight: Scanned down and can't find any discussion about: June has found out that Serena is pregnant - by Fred! Therefore Fred could be Nicole's biological father!!! No wonder she is acting f***ed up. Add this to all her other mental issues. I will forgive her the play-acted "rape" of her husband. He could have stopped it at any time. She needed that control - just for a few minutes - of role reversal for the past seven years. YMMV

vickygirl1203: This episode was superb. Elizabeth Moss knocked that performance out the park once again. Great review!

Wonder In Art: Okay, I saw the Inside the Episode for this one. Yvonne Strahovski said she thinks Serena is genuinely asking for forgiveness. Really? REALLY?! Because if that's the case, bare minimum here, Serena needs to learn her effing name. Does Serena even know her actual name is June? Because, I'd be Heisenberg on repeat there, 'SAY MY NAME!!!' If Serena really is thinking she might actually get an apology, at best she's extremely naïve. She has a LOOOOONG way to go to earn that apology.

Ariana Run Pop: Wow. I can’t believe you didn’t catch what I caught. That last scene with June talking about Serena was extremely ominous. I think they’re warning us that a monster now lies within June, too. I feel really bad for Luke who did not want his first time with June again to be so ugly. I think June is filled with bloodlust and she won’t be finished until she’s gotten even.

TheOnlyElle: I really hope Janine is alive!!!!!

TheOnlyElle: Anyone else think that the American government (what's left of it) secretly impregnated Serena Joy? It could of easily happened when Serena was given the "medical exam". Fred's infertile, and Serena will be a far better asset for America if pregnant. Fred and Serena were barely talking, let alone having "relations" lol... I think this is a strong possibility!!

Muva Mortis: Yeah you misread the end when June is speaking about Serena and everything she is saying can be said about herself now.

HG: I don't think it would be weird at all for June to go back to Gilead tbh. We've seen in the past that she has repeatedly had opportunities to escape and has thrown them all in the garbage to save Hannah. If we know anything about June, it's that she makes shit happen. I don't see her staying in Canada for long at all. Whether it's by her choice or not, she's going back to Gilead. After meeting Ms. Keyes, June knows that Hannah's future is insanely limited in Gilead and will likely be filled with misery in any direction it goes. Bad things happen to Wives, bad things happen to Marthas, bad things happen to Handmaids. For now, Hannah is safe, but for how long? She's getting older, she's ten now. How much longer until she isn't seen as a child anymore in the eyes of Gilead? that's a big question, and I don't think that just because Hannah has forgotten about June, that June will give up on her daughter. That's not what a mother does, at least not the type of mother June is. Hannah asked June why she didn't try harder, and I think that's what June is going to end up doing. She went into Canada so she could survive the battle she was in and be able to live for the next, for the one that would liberate Hannah.

Lori Maloney: What are you wearing? Lol you need a white hat 💕

I3rittanyLynne: Didnt Fred say to Serena that her baby is no more his than June’s is Serena’s....?? 🤔 meaning he knows it’s not his? So whose is it?

Anna Gonzales: Also someone brought up the fact that this now makes it a possibility that Nichole is Waterford’s and not Nicks. I’m not sure if anyone knows about Nick though?

Karine Cajigas: I can’t help but feel like in the end montage were June is describing Serena, she is also talking about herself. She feels this overwhelming survivors guilt. Her self loathing really comes out during this part. When the montage shows June playing with Luke and the baby outside, she continues with her description. I feel like this had a very specific purpose.

Tanya Floyd: Did anyone else noticed the calling out of similarities between June and Serena in the last scene?

Kings Of Vagabonds: Great episode, awesome recap thanks!

Nathan Holsclaw: What!? I don't feel they would wrap up her story whatsoever. She doesn't have her daughter. Janine lost. She was forced to get onto the boat. She is a revolutionist. She's realizing she shouldn't have listened to Moira. She will either be leading an army, or making history in some type of way and bringing down Gilead. She does not want normal life! She doesn't belong in Canada shes too powerful to run away and get refuge. I mean she basically raped Luke- that's bad news bears. That woman has far too much trauma to ever get back to a normal life.

hellojam100: I'm still waiting for the season to get started

B Spin: June completely demolishes Serena in this episode and I was living for it!! Unfortunately, this causes Serena to team up with the commander but even then I feel like June will run them both over. It was epic.

R.B. Johnson: Now that we know the ol' Commander Fred isn't "shooting blanks", how long before he demands a DNA test on Nichole???

M L: So amazing. I had to watch it twice to really let it sink in.

Elizabeth Samuels: Luke now knowing June has changed harkens back to the scene when they move in together and June says "what if I'm not who you think I am?" I don't think even June knew at that point how much inner power, focus, and leadership. But first she's got to get back on the horse. So sad. I keep tissues handy.

Kaylee214: Team Luke or team Nick?

Rainbowbrite899 G: June was raping Luke but I think he let her in the end...twisted really. I think he got to see a glimpse of the hell she has had for years that he would never been able to have felt. June needs help now to wrangle that hatred to something more helpful or she will end up like Serena. Hopefully her friends can help her heal and keep the drive

Sara Constanza: There's no way Nichole is Fred's daughter, right? RIGHT?

Eid Fayiz: I'm more concerned about how the r*pe scene totally went over your head and thought it was empowering? wtf man? that was weird ngl

saffie girl: Well, Elisabeth not only jumped the shark in this episode, she held it down and sexually assaulted it.

Roy Mercer: Season has been pure aids so far. A complete pile of trash.

Kat Mason: I like your review alot, but I think what you are missing about that final debrief is that June is describing herself just as much as she is describing Serena. June with her rage and hatred is becoming Serena too. All the things she described has described June in this episode.

Ivy Smith: I can totally see her fighting alongside the world, against Gilead. From outside. I don’t see this being her ending at all. I see it as a beginning.

Daniel Slubski: 1) don't watch trailers! Theres no point. 2) Mark isnt feeling anything for Serena,he is manipulating her,as a good (f.b.i ?) Agent should do.and you can see it in the board behind him in the last sceane.

Meg Delany: First of all, huge props to Elizabeth Moss & Yvonne Strahovski!!! Glad June got to tell off Serena - I think Serena made a big mistake going back to team up with Fred - How does she think she'll benefit? It's not as if they'll ever get out of Canada - If Serena admits her guilt she might get to see her son sometimes, but now she'll never see him -Not that she doesn't deserve all that suffering - She definitely does, but I don't understand her logic?

winterdiana: I love your analysis! I really wanted to love this episode, but many times I felt that June was acting out of character. I believe you are right about the lighting being used to recreated the Gilead mood. You can take the girl out of Gilead but not the Gilead out of the girl. I knew that elevator scene was reminiscent of another time but couldn't place it. The market trip and lame low-energy Luke analysis was fabulous. Personally, I was very frustrated when June was debriefed by Mark, and she used adjectives to describe Serena that made June seemed moody, angry and vindictive. I wanted her to give a concrete list of things Serene did to her. For instance, Serene held me down as her husband had sex with me, she beat me, she locked me in my room for days, she took my baby away from me and wouldn't let me see her, threatened my other daughter etc. June gave no tangibles. Ugh. And when she had martial relations with Luke, I wish she seemed like she was getting her life back but it seemed like revenge sex, baby-making sex, to get back at Serena. I like your version, and I hope that's the motive, but I'm not so sure. Ooh...I didn't catch the deja-vu as she woke up in the house and Nicole was crying. June didn't know where she was...of course! With your astute insights, I like the episode much better.

Melissa Maya: What do you mean “can you really trust Luke”? What did I miss?

Rainy Midnight: That scene in the supermarket between June, Luke, and Moira was so powerful and also deeply sad. Whilst it allowed us to see just how much June has missed over the past seven years, it also enabled us to understand just how ISOLATING trauma can be (especially in June’s case as a handmaid in Gilead). It has completely disconnected June from reality, and from the ‘normal’ of basic everyday life. When Luke said “that’s life with a one year old!” and June quietly replied, “yeah... I remember”, I felt devastated for her. We can tell that she must’ve felt like a complete outsider, and at that moment she herself realised just how much Luke and Moira have actually achieved with little Nichole without June’s presence as a mother. It was a bit too much for June to go to the supermarket and just expect herself to be fine. I’m really glad that the episode was able to depict the nature of complex post-traumatic stress disorder in this sense. I only hope that June, from this point, is given CONSISTENT trauma psychotherapy and very slow re-integrates and re-connects with the wider Canadian society. She is essentially permanently f*cked up as a result of her time in Gilead, and those around her need to be extremely patient with her as she embarks on her recovery.

Pisces R'us: June story ain’t wrapping until she gets her daughter back and finds out what happened to Jeanine.

Pisces R'us: They were coming for that Emmy this episode 😩

MIINTYfresj: Wait.. if Fred recants, then they have no reason to hold Serena, right?? That should be interesting.

DeAnne Pelchat: Steve, just came across your video, really liking this analysis. Also loving the Handmaid's Tale poster behind you! Where can I get one?

thejullycabral: I tried to watch it, but zoned out in the middle. It felt too slow. I will try to watch it again

Yen H: This was one of the best episodes in all the seasons

Creativewriter3: The "June in the center" shots is to contrast that in episode 3 she was a prisoner.. with those who will punish her.. and now she is free, garnering allies.

Liza Serrano: Umm? So do we know what happened to Janine? I haven't been able to watch this episode(7) yet. So, I'm wondering if she's been mentioned?

Silvia Etna: Your robe Steve , I am speechless... although maybe even the blue jumper during the june-serena scene would have been fantastic. I think, like many other commentators, that June raped Luke. This way we can understand better why traumatized people at times became monsters themselves. June had to survive so I don’t want to blame her because she is a victim , but the situation is complicated. June is a narcissist, not heartless like Serena, but she has murdered people, she has taken irrational decision that have hurt many undeserving people and she is human not a perfect heroine.she is a real character. Steve thanks for your work, like always. I loved the episode by the way!

Nat524Ricci: Also you didn’t mention this but - I feel like June’s facial reaction to learning Serena is pregnant is that of disgust - particularly because this would mean commander Waterford is the father, and would mean Nicole MAY not be fathered by Nick, after all.... WILD

Shakera Hemmings: June's rage drove that intimate scene. If anything I thought she wanted to get pregnant like Serena.

Nat524Ricci: I also absolutely DIED over that scene of June confronting Serena. I rewound and watched it several times - POWERFUL. Elizabeth Moss is irreplaceable. Stunning. So well done.

Randi Kiki: I just found your channel. Your scene breakdown was spot on. I totally saw what you did. I watched that episode 4 times. I said to my friend “ do you see that scene with Serena and June. That is Elizabeth’s next Emmy.” So brilliant the entire scene!! I will continue to watch your content. You are intelligent and know how to unwrap the story. You are so good! I am hooked! Thank you.

Jeanette Ortiz: I disagree with the intimate moment. June looked seemed angry and Luke had more of a worried look. For the first time he acknowledged that this wasn't the June from before. It did give me a "rape" vibe. She looked almost angry. Not and Luke but everything she went through while at Gilead.

Tashara Perdue: Talk about Chills, I Loved Loved Loved how June told Serena off, I was screaming!!!👍🏾👍🏾

Shelley Maxwell Channel: The sex scene scared me. I did not like the way June dominated him. He said wait. She put her hand over his mouth. Luke has stood up, taken care of Nicole, included Moria as family, almost died trying to recover his family. I hope the residual trauma of Gilead does not cause this relationship to tank. She told Nicole about her first daddy who is a monster in disguise. Where is the "Blessed are the Fruitloops lady?" She just disappeared. I like that actress. What is her follow up story?

Bellissimma: I agree! When June leaned into her I got chills.

Shelley Maxwell Channel: You are awesome. Do your thing. You make me enjoy the show more and share insights like that light from Gilead that really makes me think. Please get a Cash App and I will send you something. I cannot committ funds monthly.

Kim Koshiyama: This episode was SO satisfying; I was so tired of June staying in Gilead and getting more and more people killed. Her confronting Serena gave me life

Jim Andrews: Wow. Very eloquent, accurate, and heartfelf review. First time I've watched Steve's reviews of the show. Won't be the last time. I don't usually look for reviews, but this episode struck me so strongly that I did. I see that, below, Steve adds that "June did indeed rape Luke". Interesting contrast with what he said in the video review. They're probably both true, though. Contradiction, of course, but people are contradictory. The sex scene with Luke at the end was disturbing. Not only because of the violence but because it was, as Steve said in the video, partly an attempt to return to her old life, an expression, in part, of desperate desire to reconnect with Luke. But now she is different. How will Luke respond in the next episode? The only connection they've made was in the conversation about Hannah. In any case, I agree that this episode was one of the strongest so far, especially the scene with Serena. Interesting observation that they seem to be wrapping up June's story and may move to the future in the next season.

Tracy Lagana: I thought June was kinda describing herself when she was talking to Mark about rage and hate because most of this season that’s how June has been, like it’s all about revenge for her.

Tracy Lagana: When she slept with Luke tho I kinda felt like she raped him. He asked her to wait he didn’t look like he was having a good time. And then he looks at her weird when they were playing with the baby outside. Luke looks worried for her.

Robert Skotte: The most disturbing thing about this episode, is watching Steve reviewing it in a silk kimono :-D Seriously though, excellent review (including Part 2). Love your focus on the lighting, I think most people don't notice it (at least not consciously), but it is very well done. Completely agree with you about Oona, what an irrelevant character. June is slowly turning into Serena, which is scary enough in itself, but when she's telling Mark that Serena is pathological, a sociopath, she could just as easy be talking about herself.

fairamir1: And what did June mean when she told Serena her baby would die inside her ?

Emilee Frank: My thoughts exactly I really really loved this episode. I also loved the scene where Emily sees June again. It was such a wonderfully done scene. And even when June and Moira were in the kitchen I noticed that kitchen set up was the same as the Waterford’s. This episode was awesome.

fairamir1: I wanted to just slap June like Cher did to Nicolas Cage in " Moonstruck" and yell "snap out of it". I know life has been rough for her but good grief could she at least look and act a little happy to be in Canada. She keeps walking around like she is on a downer of some kind. Not even a small smile ?

Jacqui Browne: Fabulous review..you reflected my feelings! Loved, loved this episode

Sowmia S: June basically wished death upon an unborn baby, that is so unlike her. Yes she wants Serena to feel pain but going to prison and getting her child taken away would also bring pain. She doesn’t have to wish death upon an unborn baby.

Vero Destef: IF I WAS JUNE WHO WILL SPEAK TO ONU AND HEARD BY GILEAD'S COMMANDERS, I WILL SAY:" I THANK A WOMAN CALLED AUNT LYDIA WHO HELPS ME TO PUT THE KIDS ON THE PLANE. I THANK ALSO THE PUTMAN' S COUPLE ( WHO HAVE JANINE' S BB), WHO CURE ME WHEN I WAS WOUNDED, AND I DON T FORGET THE CALHOUN 'S FAMILY WHO HIDE ME FOR SO LONG....I SPEAK ABOUT THEM CAUSE I SUPPOSE GILEAD LEARNED THAT, AND ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME ARE CERTAINLY DEAD NOW...HE! HE!....😊😊" BY SAYING THAT, THESE PEOPLE WILL ALL FINISH ON THE WALL....REALLY....I LL DO THAT IF I WAS HER....A TRIBUTE TO....BLA..BLA BLA...😜 WELL NOW I BELEIVE , AFTER SHE EXPRESSED HER HATRED TO SERENA, THAT JUNE WILL USE THEM TO HAVE HANNAH' S BACK. HOPING THAT SERENA WILL HAVE AN HEALTHY BOY, JUNE WILL PROPOSE 2 SOLUTIONS TO THE WATERFORDS. 1/THEIR SON WILL BE RAISED BY A FAMILY WHILE THEY WILL STAY IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. UNLESS.... 2/ THE WATERFORDS LEAVE THEIR SON IN A FAMILY IN CANADA WHILE THE COUPLE WILL RETURN TO GILEAD TO GET HANNAH OUT. I IMAGINE JUNE SAYS:" AS LONG MY DAUGHTER IS WELL, YOUR SON WILL BE WELL TOO!" . THE WATERFORD WOULD BE OBLIGED TO ACCEPTTO BECAME 2 TRAITORS OF FRED' S LOVING COUNTRY, GILEAD. I KNOW THAT SERENA DON T CARE TO BETRAY EVERYTHING....BUT FRED WILL BE UNHAPPY TO DO THAT. BUT THEY WILL HAVE NO CHOICE. IN RETURN, JUNE WILL ACCEPT TO REDUCE SOME CHARGES AGAINST THEM. AFTER ALL, SERENA AND JUNE HAD LIVED SOME COMPLICITY AT SOME MOMENT. WHEN FRED WAS TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER THE BOMB... SERENA NEVER TOLD THE DOCTOR THAT JUNE TRIED TO KILL HER WITH A SCALPEL....ETC SERENA IS A STRONG WOMAN. JUNE IS MORE SENSIBLE AND CARES ABOUT OTHERS. SERENA IS CLEVER AND STRANGELY, SHE CAN ENDURE MANY THINGS. FOR HER, IT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL TO PROPOSE JUNE TO HAVE SEX WITH NICK...NO DOUBT THAT SERENA WILL DO IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS.. SHE IS COMPLEX BUT SHE CAN HAVE COMPASSION TOO. SHE WAS UNEASE WHEN THEY OBLIGED LAWRENCE TO DO A " CEREMONIE" WHILE THEY ARE ALL WAITING. SHE HAD COMPASSION FOR ELEONOR...IT IS JUST AN EXEMPLE. I BELEIVE THAT BOTH WOMEN WOULD FIND AN UNDERSTANDING, AS THEY DID BEFORE...WHEN FRED WAS IN HOSPITAL, WHEN JANINE'S BB WAS ILL, ( SERENA CALLED A WOMAN WHO WAS A GREAT DOCTOR BEFORE). SHE DIDN T CARE A LESS WITH GILEAD' S LAWS. AND SHE ACCEPTED TO PUT NICHOLE OUT OF GILEAD. YES, SHE IS A COMPLEX CHARACTER AND SHE DESERVES TO PAY FOR THAT. BUT..I LOVE WHEN SHE GOES AFTER FRED...TO USE IT. SHE IS DISGUSTING BY HIM. LOOKING AT HIM WITH A LOT OF DESPISE. CONCERNING LUKE , HE IS VERY PATIENT. BUT JUNE LIES TO HIM ABOUT HANNAH, AND SEEMS NOT TO RECOVER THE LOVE THAT SHE FEELS FOR NICK ACTUALLY ( SHE TOLD To BB NICHOLE THAT HER 1ST FATHER LOVES HER....). AND SHE RAPES LUKE CAUSE SHE WANTS REVENGE AGAINST MEN WHO ABUSED HER. LUKE IS KIND...... For now......But how long he will accept that? If he realise she loves an other man, their relation would became more difficult..Well. we ' ll see.

LycanicPanic: I seriously thought June was going to punch her in the stomach. I. was. clenched. up.

Kimberly Bumpas: I like to watch your videos because I agree with you more than the others out there! This was hands down one of the best episodes of the entire show! 🙌 The payoff was massive & I was so ready for it. I also agree that if Moss were to get an Emmy, it will be from this episode & the scene with Serena. I also want to mention that I also feel the Moira/Una storyline is not working for me. If Una really knows Moira, then she would know that she had a familial bond with June. June is not just "a friend", she's her sister, her family! Una wanted Moira to leave her family behind to be killed! And Moira is just ok with all that that happened? I don't get it. Moira was always stronger than that to me. And when Una said to her that she chose her friend over her & her work, that was the most selfish, self centered thing she could have possibly said. I don't understand why Moira still wants to be with someone like that.

Y Devay: I hate I just found your channel. Love your commentary. This episode was so fulfilling. I just hate the feeling that June will never be the June she was before and how could she be. I want Serena and Fred to pay big time for what they did. Serena does not deserve that baby.

Maker's Addiction Alyce Cannon: Yes

Rachel Ezelius: My least favorite episode. Shows how June crossed over to the darkside.... she might not be able to find her way back.

Elaine S.: I had tears streaming down my face within 30 seconds of the episode starting. 11/10

Sonanki Ghosh: Elizabeth Moss and Yvonne Strawski are so amazing in this episode. they deserve to win all sorts of awards and recognition for such powerful performance. coming to the story, I sobbed when Luke said 'I'd like to take my wife now to go meet our daughter'. I had and have much faith in him. June has gone through so much that I feel like he's tip-toeing around her. and I might have done the same thing. but I think you misinterpreted the intimate moment (for lack of a better word) between June and Luke. yes, June was taking control of her life in that moment but not by 'making love' to Luke, but by making herself feel more powerful or to feel like she has more power now and that was a display of that. I'd say that she raped her. it was so uneasy to watch. I won't blame June for being tramatised and doing things she should not. but we should not discount what actually happened either. I understand why Luke didn't say anything the next day as he's tip-toeing around her and probably also because he doesn't want June to feel more guilty than she already is. but I truly hope the writers address this somehow in some way. it needs to be addressed for the sake of the fact that for decades people thought men can't be raped, especially by a woman.

Tanja Kobasic: Steve, if Serena's baby is Fred's and he can father children, does this then mean that Nicole/Holly could be Joseph's child as well?
