You know they do,” she simmers, before screaming for Lydia to leave the room.
She’s outraged by his defense of a rapist and lack of respect for the “ceremony.”
He reminds her to “watch her tongue.”
Back in No Man’s Land, June and Luke are in separate, but adjacent holding cells.
Luke’s freaking over their predicament and stressing out June.
She convinces him to calm down and conserve his energy.
Their conversation turns to fun banter and flirting, but not for long.
Their captors arrive to inform them they’re giving them over to Gilead.
Luke attempts a hasty escape, but is captured and beaten.
They drag him back to his cell, bleeding and barely conscious.
“F that,” she says with a smile, before telling him they’ll survive.
“You’re going to single-handedly repopulate the planet,” Lawrence says sarcastically.
North of the border, yet another subjugating male’s enjoying a drink by the fire.
Mr. Wheeler’s meeting with Serena, but not to reprimand her for her conversation with his wife.
No, he wants to tell her that his men in No Man’s Land have captured June.
June and Luke are separated again, this time while being released from their cells and escorted to transports.
At the same time, a couple in the Republic is also being separated.

Nick returns home to hisnew wife Rose, who we discover is also with child.
She’s also quite concerned over Nick’s involvement and actions with Putnam and Lawrence.
June’s prisoner bus is stopped by Ezra, who boards and requests her release into his custody.
He escorts her onto a dusty, deserted road, where Serena is waiting to confront her.
Ezra reluctantly gives her the gun.
Serena points the weapon at June and demands she pray.
She complies, wishing out loud for a better life for both their children.
Serena, tearful and seemingly experiencing pregnancy-related pains, turns the firearm on Ezra.
She shoots him, but his bulletproof vest ensures he’s only knocked to the ground.
Serena then orders June behind the wheel of the vehicle.
