[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe that June was unwilling to abandon Hannah (living in a safe, stable situation with a nanny who cared about her) but was totally willing to abandon her newborn nursling to a dangerous border crossing and no food whatsoever.  Hormones alone dictate that would not happen.[/quote]

Hannah isn't safe, she lives in a country that will cut off her finger for reading the Bible and drown her for falling in love. That forces women into sexual servitude. That condones beating your wife because she didn't submit to your will. June does not view Hannah becoming another Serena as a "safe, stable situation." If Emily and Nicole make it to Canada, Nicole will be safe from that life, and June being with them probably doesn't increase the odds of that happening (if anything, the more people traveling together the more it might increase the risk of them getting caught).[/quote]

The Marthas arranged for June, Holly, and Emily to be saved. How did June know that they hadn't also helped Hannah to escape??? Maybe Hannah's house was the next stop for the truck...

Staying behind will not help her save Hannah - she has no clothes and nowhere to live. She's been caught multiple times before and has no leverage of being pregnant or nursing to help her escape harse punishment.[/quote]

I don’t know that June will be punished.  She and Serena can say the baby was kidnapped.  She could go back to being Fred’s handmaid and work with Serena and the Martha underground.

Side note:  I really hope this isn’t the end of Bradley Whitfield.  [/quote]

+1 and Fred made it clear he really wants a boy. [/quote]
