“Now it is your time to rest.” You might have guessed this, but Aunt.

It’s your choice,” she says.ĪUNT LYDIA AND HER ‘TESTAMENTS’ | How are things back in Gilead, you ask? Well, Aunt Lydia is doing considerably better than the last time we saw her she’s healed from her torture and excited about getting right back into being a tool of a misogynist regime! But an aunt named Ruth lets her know that Gilead is putting her out to pasture: “The girls are not your concern anymore,” she says. “Come with me, or stay here and be Ofsteven. June announces she’s leaving the next day. “ You came here to fight,” Janine shoots back, adding that it was her choice to have sex with Steven, and “You need to stop trying to save me to make yourself feel better.” When June says she doesn’t want Janine to get hurt, Janine proves you don’t need perfect eyesight to take aim and land a kill shot: “Maybe you should’ve thought about that with Alma and Brianna.” OUCH. Eventually, June makes her pitch: She wants to go join the Nighthawks, and she wants Janine to come with her. They eventually make it to the trade market, where - at Janine’s request - June rolls her eyes but allows her fellow handmaid to trade their cloaks for a Cubs baseball cap Janine wants to gift Steven. “What kind of resistance are you?” she asks, disgusted. After the threat passes, he explains that killing a small number of soldiers would only lead to more patrols: In short, it wasn’t worth it. A soldier on foot passes very close to where June is crouched beneath a counter she hisses at Steven to take the clean shot before the soldiers get away, and he sharply orders her to be quiet. When a Gilead helicopter circles, Steven’s group ducks into an abandoned storefront to hide. “You’d love them.”įrom the empty storefronts and demolished buildings around them - as well as from the elevated train tracks - it looks like we’re in or near Chicago. “They don’t care if they live or die, they just want to kill soldiers,” he tells June. While Steven’s gang is on its outing, they run into evidence of another rebel group: the Nighthawks.
JUNE’S OUTTA HERE | Life with the Windy City rebels isn’t quite what June expected: Janine has become a giggly and willing bed buddy for camp leader Steven, while June isn’t allowed to go along on a trade mission until Janine steps in and speaks on her behalf.

So let’s not waste any more time: Here’s what goes down in “Chicago.” I’ve likely still got some ringing in my ears and dust in my eyes after that episode-ending bombing, so fellow Handmaid’s Tale viewers, please help me confirm what I think I saw at the close of this week’s hour: Is June maybe sorta kinda going to get rescued? And could it really be so perfect that Moira is the person who saves her from Gilead?īlessed be, it certainly feels like we’re edging ever closer to the type of payoffs the show’s executive producers teaser at the start of the season.
