Like in previous parts of the drama, nothing falls in place for June and the resistance. The promo shows June running in the forest as men with guns and torches follow her.
In the last few episodes, June's resilience has developed. She has hardened and become more and more aggressive. She killed Commander Winslow, and because it was suitable for her plans, she allowed a mentally unstable lady to take her own life. How far will she go? Will she kill Commander Lawrence if he tries to obstruct her?
The Handmaid's Tale has been nothing but exciting. As the women liberate themselves and the children as well, we have seen a lot of casualties and sacrifices. We can only anticipate the best ahead.
