The June close ups are so frustrating because they take away from all the awesome supporting roles. I could also do without her flashbacks at this point. Let’s get a Lydia back story already, or Nicks.

+1- Totally agree, they leave the camera on June for wayyyy too long and it's annoying. My heart goes out to all of the female characters.

Agree! Can’t get enough of her.

If they kill off Aunt Lydia, I will stop watching.

They know that and already gave an update; she is in season 3.

They don’t use much medicine, so I’m going with no on anesthesia.

Warren had anesthesia when his hand was amputated over Janine, but I doubt they would “waste” it on a woman.

Burn it down, June!

I think Eden's death and Serena's finger changed June's ability to leave. Eden was raised a believer and was drowned in a high school pool after being married as a teenager. Suddenly the "safe" life that Hannah had, not so much. Even Serena, an architect of Gilead was mutilated. Once June saw that and also comprehended that there was a network of Marthas, staying for Hannah became feasible in a way it hadn't before. I think she will find Joseph (I read he is back for the next season) and work form there.

Honestly, I was just glad they didn't;t use Bradley Whitford as a new commander for June. Not that watching that show is easy, but I am not in for watching Josh Lyman rape Zoe Bartlett.

In real life she wouldn't be able to go back to the commander's home;she'd be hung along with Nick. She also couldn't magically transport herself about town as a handmaid and save her other daughter. I hope the next season is true to life and shows the execution of June, Nick, the Marthas, and Serena. With an epilogue that Hannah never saw her mother again, and Nichole was captured because she started shrieking because she was hungry and had no milk. The end.

All of this has crossed my mind as well. Just UGH on this entire episode other than the awesome Marthas.

+ 1,00000000

You have never lived with a sociopath then.

Or not even a sociopath, just an abuser.
