Things are starting to get intense in Season 5 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and it’s going to get only darker from here. We are in the endgame now and Serena and June will do anything to bring each other down. In the first two episodes, we saw June (Elisabeth Moss) being happy about his abuser’s death and finally getting some peace. On the other hand, Serena takes vengeance by calling June’s daughter Hannah during her husband’s funeral. Meanwhile, Episode 3 finally saw Serena and June coming face to face with each other and June gave Serena a stern warning that she should never come close to her daughter in the future.

Tonight’s episode took their fight to a whole new level because Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) wants the world to know about Gilead. Meanwhile, June worries that she would not be able to control herself from killing Serena for much longer, but Luke calms her down and tells her about an approach that she takes while going further. The ending seems to show us that Luke and June won’t stop at anything and will do anything to get their daughter back.
