Fred is just a creep, and while he comes off as a true believer genuinely concerned with the plight of these kids, we all know he’s full of it. She remains unmovable in her twisted beliefs. You’d think she’d be happy to hear others got out of Gilead, a place she clearly wanted to get away from. It’s sort of incredible how brain-washed and awful Serena remains. Both Serena and Fred are deeply troubled by this. June isn’t stable at the moment, clearly.Įlsewhere, the Waterfords-both of whom are now in cushy prison cells-meet with Mark Tuello (Sam Jaeger) the US agent that first convinced Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) to betray her husband Fred (Joseph Fiennes) and escape to Canada. Keyes-let’s call her Esther from now on-will suffice as a proxy? Or convinced herself that Esther actually is Hannah? It’s hard to say. Has June given up on ever finding her? Has she snapped and decided that Mrs. She asks to lay next to June and when she does she says “I love you.” June grins creepily and says “I love you too, bananas.” As in “Hannah banana”-the thing she used to say to her now long-lost first child. Keyes comes in, her blue robes soaked in blood. June walks out and we hear the screaming. Keyes walks in and June hands her the wicked looking knife she’s been carrying around and says “Make momma proud,” with a weird, insane glint in her eye.
June tells them to stop and for a moment we wonder if she’s going to show mercy or hold a trial or something humane and decent-things her captors rarely, if ever, have shown her.īut no. I admit, I didn’t even know this version existed.
The only other version of this scene I could find on YouTube was this one from the 1990 movie adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel.
