What happened in The Handmaid's Tale season 6 episode 4?
The Handmaid's Tale season 6 episode 4 saw June trying to convince Luke and Moira to leave Canada and go to Alaska. After having narrowly escaped the wrath of the Gilead forces in No Man's Land while working with MayDay, June believed that Moira and Luke would return.
However, they had other plans. Despite June's best efforts, the two had no plans of abandoning their plans. While Luke agrees to carry bombs to Gilead, Moira agrees to do a dry run at Jezebel's so that they can warn the others before blowing the place up.
In the same episode, June learns that Janine, one of her closest friends in Gilead, is at Jezebel's. She feels overly protective of her and volunteers to go to the place instead of Moira. Moira is angered by the news and confronts her. After some back and forth, the episode's ending suggested that Luke, Moira, and June would go to Gilead to carry the mission on behalf of MayDay.
What to expect from The Handmaid's Tale season 6 episode 5?
Since episode 4 ended with Luke, Moira, and June agreeing to go to Gilead to attack the Commanders, the show's next episode is likely to pick up from there. If everything goes according to plan, then June and Moira would be warning the inmates of Jezebel's about the upcoming mission to bomb the place along with the Commanders. Additionally, Luke will be transporting the explosives to the place.
The ending of the episode also suggested that Aunt Lydia had arrived in New Bethlehem to speak to Serena. Although the episode did not divulge why she was there, it was most likely to talk about Janine, who was at Jezebel's. Aunt Lydia wants Janine out of there, and after having no luck with Commander Lawrence, it seems like Serena is her last resort.
