"June"

April 25, 2018
cells: Offred and other handmaids are taken to Fenway Park where they are made to believe they will be hanged, which is a trick. During another punishment, Offred is freed after Aunt Lydia is told of her pregnancy. When she rejects a meal Aunt Lydia gives her, she is shown a pregnant handmaid, Ofwyatt, chained in a prison room due to her attempt to induce an abortion with drain cleaner. Offred agrees to eat, and during her meal Aunt Lydia, who had told her that her friends would be punished for their disobedience but her pregnancy would mean that she would be exempted, brings the other handmaids into the room, and one by one they are burned with a gas flame. Later, Offred is at a pregnancy check-up, where she is visited by Fred and Serena, but afterwards finds a key in one of her boots, which she uses to escape to a van parked underneath the hospital. The van drops her off to a safe house in Back Bay where she meets Nick, while Fred authorises a highly resourced search for her. He tells her to change out of her handmaid outfit, and to cut her hair. After stripping off her handmaid's dress, she burns it, before cutting the red cattle tag out of her ear. In flashbacks throughout the episode, Hannah is admitted to the hospital for having a fever while in school; June is questioned by one of the hospital workers about giving Hannah medication to bypass the school's fever policy, as well as questioning June and Luke's fitness as parents. Later, they arrive home to a news story about the Capitol Building and the White House being attacked.

"Unwomen"
Mike Barker
Bruce Miller
April 25, 2018
cells: June has been transported to the former headquarters of The Boston Globe, another safe place arranged by Mayday.[25] Emily has been taken to the Colonies, where infertile women ("Unwomen") are forced to dig on highly toxic land. Many of the Unwomen are falling sick, and Emily is doing what she can to help them. A Commander's wife, Mrs. O'Conner, arrives at the Colonies and is not welcomed by the Unwomen. Nick visits June and she gets upset when he tells her she needs to wait for several weeks before she can leave because everyone is looking for her. Nick ends up giving her the keys to a car and a gun but she decides to stay, and they have sex several times. At the Colonies, Emily befriends Mrs. O'Conner, who admits that she was taken to the colonies for committing a "sin of the flesh." Emily gives her antibiotics that turn out to be poison, which leads to her death. Emily blames her for "holding a woman down while her husband rapes her."[25] Janine arrives at the Colonies, where she embraces Emily; the Unwomen are warned that there will be consequences for Mrs. O'Conner's death. In a flashback, after the attack on the Capitol Building and the White House, Emily is told by her boss, Professor Dan, that she will not be teaching the following semester at the University and is told to see this as an opportunity, but in reality it is a caution because of her sexual orientation. Professor Dan is later seen hanged at the University with the word "faggot" spray painted underneath him. While Emily, along with her wife Syl and son Oliver, attempt to emigrate to Canada, she is told she is unable to leave the country without an exit visa, as their same-sex marriage license is no longer recognized. Because she is the biological mother of Oliver, and therefore has viable ovaries, she is forced to stay behind in the United States. June makes a memorial for The Boston Globe employees who were executed at the newspaper's former headquarters and prays to God to send an angel to watch over it.[25]

"Baggage"

cells: June searches for videos and articles about events leading up to the revolution from the Boston Globe. Nick then tells her to move to another safe place where she meets Omar. He abruptly abandons her after receiving a text, but she stops in front of his van to make him take her. They both get to Omar's apartment, where she meets Omar's wife, Heather, and their child, Adam. In the morning, June is left alone when his family does not come back after leaving for church. Left alone in the house, June snoops in various places in the home and finds a Qur'an and a prayer rug hidden under the bedsprings; she suspects the couple was detained and possibly executed for their hidden faith. She dons Heather's Econowife outfit, a plain gray knit ensemble which wives of lower class men wear, and gets out of the apartment, blending in with other Econowives. After a westbound train ride, June runs into the woods where her daughter was taken away. She realizes she has no way of rescuing Hannah and advances to an airstrip west of Worcester where Omar had said a plane will take her to safety; however, the plane is shot down when taking off, the pilot is executed in place, and she is apprehended by the Guardians. Meanwhile, Moira, now living with Luke and Erin in Canada, gives a tour to a new co-worker but he has a breakdown, traumatized by what he did as a Guardian. In a flashback, we see June as a child being taken to a Take Back the Night rally by her mother, Holly. When she grew up, Holly was upset because June worked at a book publishing company and for marrying Luke, instead of "getting out in the street and fighting." At the Red Center, Aunt Lydia lectured the Handmaids about the polluted world and human fertility while the projector showed a picture of Holly laboring on a farm in the Colonies.

cells: June is taken back and chained to a bed. Aunt Lydia explains that if she cooperates, June will be taken back in by the Waterfords and June (now Offred) agrees. The Commander treats Offred's disappearance as a kidnapping, but Serena is furious and attempts to choke Offred once. Rita returns the letters she found and tells Offred that she will no longer be involved. Serena hosts a baby shower where Offred is happy to see Nick. During the shower, the wives and the handmaids pray together "let the little children come to me". Shortly afterwards, Offred learns from Alma that Ofglen's tongue was removed for speaking up to save Ofwarren (Janine) as she was about to be stoned and that Mayday has now gone silent. Aunt Lydia takes Offred for a walk to the wall, where Omar was hanged for trying to help Offred escape. Aunt Lydia informs Offred that Omar's wife, Heather, is now a handmaid and that their child, Adam, was given away to another family. Aunt Lydia tells Offred that this was her fault, and Offred accepts the blame. In a flashback, June sees Luke's first wife Annie, who tells her that they made wedding vows before God and as a result, June should stop talking to Luke to allow them to fix their marriage. June chooses to ignore Annie, and a few years later Annie later sees Luke and June in a restaurant with their child Hannah. Offred is seen as being more docile as she requests to stay with the Commander and Mrs. Waterford. When Nick tries to talk to her, she is very formal.

In a flashback, June sees Luke's first wife Annie, who tells her that they made wedding vows before God and as a result, June should stop talking to Luke to allow them to fix their marriage. June chooses to ignore Annie, and a few years later Annie later sees Luke and June in a restaurant with their child Hannah. Offred is seen as being more docile as she requests to stay with the Commander and Mrs. Waterford. When Nick tries to talk to her, she is very formal.
June is taken back and chained to a bed. Aunt Lydia explains that if she cooperates, June will be taken back in by the Waterfords and June (now Offred) agrees. The Commander treats Offred's disappearance as a kidnapping, but Serena is furious and attempts to choke Offred once. Rita returns the letters she found and tells Offred that she will no longer be involved. Serena hosts a baby shower where Offred is happy to see Nick. During the shower, the wives and the handmaids pray together "let the little children come to me". Shortly afterwards, Offred learns from Alma that Ofglen's tongue was removed for speaking up to save Ofwarren (Janine) as she was about to be stoned and that Mayday has now gone silent. Aunt Lydia takes Offred for a walk to the wall, where Omar was hanged for trying to help Offred escape.

Mrs. Waterford informs her husband that Nick seems concerned for Offred. Commander Waterford has Nick participate in a wedding service held for Guardians as a token to their work for Gilead. When they return from the wedding, Commander and Mrs. Waterford host a small celebration for Nick and his new bride Eden, including a reading from 1 Corinthians 13 and a champagne toast. Nick later finds Offred in the bushes outside the Waterfords' house and she is taken to the hospital, where both Offred and Mrs. Waterford learn that the baby is okay. Offred promises to her baby that they both will escape Gilead. Meanwhile, in the Colonies, Janine assures Emily that God is protecting them through their struggles in Gilead. Janine then helps to arrange a small wedding for an ill worker, officiated by a woman who served as a Jewish rabbi in pre-Gilead times. Emily is distraught by the fact that she is losing her teeth and seems upset that Janine wishes to bring brightness to a place that otherwise seems so bleak. Later, the ill worker dies and the rabbi officiates the burial as she is lowered into her grave in a cemetery adorned with crosses.
