Handmaids NEEDED this episode to tell viewers June hadn’t lost her humanity

[MarieTherese]

I love how they made June rise above it all. I think this stays true to June's character and her want and need to help, even Serena. Because at the end of the day, as grey as it may be, Serena too ended up being a victim of Gilead, she was just too delusional to realise it. This episode is one of my favourites by far.

[LadyMinstrel]

I adore these two together. Whenever I see June and Serena working together I'm happy. They're my main reason to watch the series!! Two wonderful actresses and such rich and complex relationship the one they have. But the most interesting one for me! ❤️❤️❤️

[manantial]

Such a powerful episode, both actresses are truly exceptional.

Any woman, on any side of birth, felt this in their soul. I’m not a Serena fan. At all. But women be women and birthing babies is legit. Every eff word, every emotion, all of it. Yes. I felt it in my soul.

We needed this twist, because Serena will most likely be integral to the dismantling of Gilead in the coming/last season. And with aunt Lydia also on the path to understanding the wrongs of their beliefs, I think we have a rocking season in store with some truly bad ass women bringing down the patriarchy.

"She loves her, she wants her to be a good person, she wants her to realize she can be a good person" please excuse me while I cry.

I’m so glad that they kept June human! This is my favorite episode of her. I was starting to hate her more and more but this episode redeemed her. She showed more love and grace than anyone has ever showed her. This was complete redemption for Handmaid’s tale. June isn’t far gone. June still has humanity in her

Episode 7 is the talk of the town. These two ladies didn't even have to say a word their facial expressions and especially their eyes told it all. Magnificent line. Loved it. In all the series I've watched in 2022 this episode ranks #1 in my mind.

[mchllwoods]

My favorite part in that episode is June saying, "Maybe there's an manager."😂

[lisamartin]

Serena knew June would get her through this. These actresses are awesome and this episode was by far the most emotional one for me. I really want to believe Serena is going to choose the right path and not repeat the past. I hear there will be a season 6 so I am positive they are going to leave us hanging at the ending of season 5. Thats the whole point of HMT.

[alabamajenny]

I swear I thought June was going to leave her there. But I knew she wouldn’t. That is who June IS! I loved how she looks Serena in the eye, as a mutual understanding, “this is how we ALL FEEL ABOUT OUR babies”. It’s like an understood, You want your baby, I want MINE, BOTH OF THEM!

[fatihafarah]

Just finished watching this series and loved, gripping Serina stern face and expressive eyes are amazing

[TheRightSideOfHistory]

This episode was heart wrenching, jae dropping, the most tear jerking episode of this season! 😢😢😢😢 I was moved. Couldn’t have anticipated what was to come. I was thinking any moment June would kill Serena or kidnap the baby but the REAL way things panned out was so much more.
Plus this may not have been challenging to shoot (for Moss or Serena) but for the audience this turn of events that happen when a villain turns good and realises the hurt they caused… this was done such exquisitely ❤❤❤❤ Most writers make it do childish and forced that it doesn’t hit your heart. But the writers of the show did such a tremendous job doing it, I would be showing Emmys on this cast and crew. Salutes.

[ItsMeJaneW]

That was a superb performance by Yvonne Strahovski. Didn't need her to talk for us to totally get what Serena was feeling. Just wow.

[pixiedustgirl]

Lizzy says, “June is Serena’s biggest ally, believe it or not.” Very interesting! What is to happen with/between these 2 characters in the next 3 episodes and next season??!

[dolldoll]

👩🏻‍💻I just love Elizabeth Moss. The more I watch her the more I see the acting skills employed by Maureen O'Hara. Very lovely to watch and enjoy.

[adshar]

Elisabeth Moss is a goddess. I don't care what anyone says about her. I don't give a fuck about her personal beliefs. She's a genius because this episode was AMAZING! And yes, I have always felt like June was Serena's biggest ally. They are BOTH badasses!

[silviaetna]

If you are a mother yourself and you see somebody who you don’t like completely depending on you. She is going to die with her baby in an awful way, if you are human you are going to help. June is back to being human. She had to become a monster at times to survive now she is back.

June and Serena Ride Or Die 4-life baby !
