How do you think the final two episodes of The Handmaid's Tale Season 5 are going to go? Will there be a happy ending for June or Serena? Comment your thoughts below!
That plane sound is definitely a drone strike coming, I'm telling you now! How are the US going to make their way into the heartland and back with one child?? When they could just blast the centre? Plus it would be shock and awe
@@glenn309 I don’t think the US would risk injuring ANY children, but I do think that they’ll take more back than just Hannah if they’re even able to get Hannah.. remember this is The Handmaids Tale & nothing ever seems to go smoothly
@@glenn309 Yeah, I assumed the noise and the camera looking up at the sky at the end was defintiely showing some kind of drone strike / air strike. I too am struggling to imagine though how this is going to work logistically. But I'm thinking they will somehow get to Hannah (with her alive) but that she will refuse to go with them. She doesn't even remember her birth parents now, or life before Gilead. And what kid/teen, even in Gilead, is going to go off with some complete strangers (which I presume is how they plan to get her out - sending in some military guys to somehow extract her). Oh and I'm fairly sure Commander Lawrence is not going to survive much longer...But I hope I'm wrong about that.
@@epapa217 I feel like they will kill some of the other kids if they need to, to get to Hannah. The US want Hannah, so that June won't decide to go live New Bethlehem - so I reckon they'll treat her as more valuable to them than the other kids. Then I think things will all turn to sh*t. I just don't see any happy family reunion happening next episode ...
Y’all I’m LIVINGGGG for the entire Serena Ofwheeler sub-plot!!! 😂😂 “Here’s what you’re gonna do, ok? You’re gonna go back in there, and you’re gonna act like a handmaid-but the entire time, you will be plotting against them and planning your revenge” send chils down my spine. What a rollercoaster of a season 😭😭😭😭
I think Hannah wont want to leave,remember when Jaeden described the school as "Princess school" we've been drip fed how well the girls are treated. Hannah doesn't know the horror of being a wife yet and indoctrination is a real real hard thing to break
The books don’t explain how Gilead ends, but it eventually does. If next season is the last they’re going to leave us on a positive note instead of grim I would imagine. It will probably be a slow return to normal….
@@1bwash HI! You mentioned books- plural. I've read The Hamdmaid's Tale and The Testamen5s. What are the others in the series, please? I want to read all, before rhe Hulu series ends. Thank you
@@mrsmacca126 It's just those two books, but they're turning the second book into a Hulu series as well. The actress playing Aunt Lydia is returning for the role.
Yea. If you've read or listened to the testaments you know that rescue mission is not gonna get Hannah out of Gilead. Unless they make it or write in Hannah going back to Gilead or something but just going on what we know.... I don't see it happening
@@sueanderson5917 I feel like they will never get a happy ending when it comes to Hannah. Ik how the book ends bur I think the show is taking it in a different direction which why why it’s unpredictable
@@YenellyT well, show writers and producers said they were trying to keep everything true leading up to testaments ! But even then there's yrs between the books where we don't get alot of info. But yea, they all said they were staying as true to the books as they could
I think Hannah won't want to leave and will fight to stay. Reason: young children are malleable & can be molded into whatever the adults choose for them.
The writing/writer on this episode was sooooooo much better than most of the previous ones this season. Finally we are getting dialogue where they are saying what they are thinking instead of just staring at the camera and having us guess everything.
Mrs Wheeler is a crazy witch....her husband is a psychotic crazy as well....they are well suited for one another....I know it sounds crazy but I do hope that Serena makes it out of there with Noah and that they can be rescued in some way so that she can raise her child....maybe now seeing how it feels to be in June's shoes will also make Serena turn on Gilead and give the info to Tuello to help the American authorities in Canada bring the country down and return it to the USA.
Luke can be annoying and was in odd place for years not knowing what to do. But the extra hate for a man that genuinely loves his wife and child is crazy. Great review and great episode
Yeah I agree. When June snapped at him it was definitely felt. I find myself sometimes getting frustrated with him as a character, but in that moment I felt bad for him
@@BrainPilot I can definitely feel for Luke as he hasn't seen his wife June in years and she's a completely different woman, that's hard for any guy to cope with. I can definitely feel his hopelessness in supporting his wife's mega-strong desire to reunite with their daughter but it's causing a detriment to their relationship. Although I kinda want to see Luke be a bit more stronger but any man in his situation would be similar to him.
People that are mad that Luke basically called the police on Serena must've forgotten when she not only mocked him but also that power play with showing his daughter at the funeral.
I’ve always wanted to see Hannah’s point of view . What did she experience for the last 7 years? Did she ask for June? Does she remember her? What has her lifestyle been like? What is she learning at the Wives School?
That’s interesting you say this. Someone commented in another video that based on the books that maybe they’ll do a spin off of the show with another important characters point of view. Veerry interesting. Could be Hannah 🤔
@@epapa217 actually JK I just looked up The Testaments and it’s narrated by Aunt Lydia, Agnes and Daisy. Not sure who Daisy is but I think Agnes is in Hannah’s school. So if they do a spin off these women would be telling the story. Which means Aunt Lydia will live. Unless the producers have other plans.
I don’t think that the raid is going to as simple as June thinks it would be I love how they are also creating the story line for the next season We probably won’t know if they were able to get Hannah back until the next season
I think they will get her back but Hannah won’t want to be with them. We seen before she was brainwashed in not wanting to be with June. I and that will be a major plot for next season
I want Aunt Lydia to have been the one who sent June that CD because only an Aunt would be allowed that close and we saw other Aunts in the film. It seemed like Esther and Janine opened her eyes. Serena learned a lot about manipulation from June. Now all Serena has to do is manipulate the husband to be more involved in Noah's life outside of breastfeeding. I wonder if Hannah will even want to leave. She could be 100% brainwashed.
They've also been setting up for The Testaments with some of these episodes (especially with Aunt Lydia and showing Hannah at the wives school) and it's already confirmed they are doing A Testaments series
How old was hannah when taken? The flashbacks of her show her making pancakes/ talking/ making memories with her mom and dad. I never understood how Hannah could just forget all that. I figure she was 7 or 8?
@@jessieross8391 she remembered her that time nick reunited them, she called her mommy and asked why she left her. But after that she was pretty much brainwashed
@@jessieross8391 Not sure how old but I don’t think she forgot. Unless they said she did🤷🏻♀️I do think they would have done a number on her psychologically and that’s going to change how she feels about her parents. She has already shown apprehension toward June in a previous episode.
@@jessieross8391 June said that Luke did nothing for 7 years while she was trapped in Gilead. If Hannah's now 12 then she was about 5 when separated from her parents.
The scene where he was crying was so powerful and unexpected as he's usually so nonchalant about the whole thing. That's when you realized he feels just as weak and powerless as everyone else!
Was I the only one who heard jets in the closing scene with Hannah and thought they were about to bomb the school? I got very bad vibes that the happy moment was going to be spoiled immediately in the next episode.
Tuello said they would do all they could to prevent June from going back and in turn causing other Americans to return as well. I have a bad feeling that he plans on taking Hannah off the table completely so June would no longer have a reason to return 😢
Am I the only 1 who hears the jets in the background when hannah was planting and when it went to black.... Her school or close by is going to be bombed, Tuello said that they had been planning some type of military action... How heartbreaking will it be if hannah does or is severely injured.
@@TheCovergirl01 thabkyou! I'm so surprised no one else is talking about this. Especially those who do the breakdowns. I think game of thrones broke me when it comes to foreshadowing and seeing/hearing things you wouldn't normally take too much notice of lol x
jets also deliver Americans that are going to take children back. they're not just going to kill the child she has to reject normal society first they have to show the effect of being raised in Gilead
Serena is going to cross June again. The way the camera captured how her face was changing (really both of them), that niceness was just for a moment. They still will want to destroy eachother.
I think June had to tell Serena they were not friends and TELL her exactly what to do to survive so that she stood on her own 2 feet and did what she had to do to be with her baby. I also think they will become Allies and Serena will move to new Bethlehem to be close to June or essentially be safe. But I think this new Bethlehem is not what it seems. So we will see and I cannot wait.
I think she knew they were filming her so she wanted to let them know. In the last scene Hannah did the same thing her mom June did. Hannah remembers them and wants to go back.
I was so terrified that something bad was going to happen to June while she was happily running home. With all the angry protesters around it just seemed too good to be true.
I honestly have a bad feeling about the raid... especially with the sounds of the jets at the end, just screams airstrike to me. I really hope I'm wrong but I could very easily see them either seriously hurting or killing Hannah and June freakin out and going to New Bethlehem.
Looking at how complex the series is... I think this will be the next appropriate move in the series... (The way they are showing June's happiness, I suspected something very very bad will happen to her!!) God!! You just ruined the suspense!! 😀
It's strange it can't be found anywhere. I guess they want to avoid spoilers. Looks like it's impossible to show what will happen next without spoilers
Something not explained is the very ending of the episode.. those were not helicopters or regular planes. Unless i heard it wrong it was a bomber... I do not think this goes the way many may think it does... i think it will end tragically.. just my 2 cents. A key clue that was given to June was the word "Invasion"
@@cielomcmeekin7296 I think it was a bomber "Air Raid", however they have used several tactics in the past to give a different impression of what actually happens. guess we will see :)..
Its still not off the table, he may make that executive move himself. I don't think June would EVER suggest that, and I don't think he wants that. You may be right though, and we get an Eden 2.0 with Hannah wondering if he's a gender traitor cause he's avoiding sex with her.
@@jonathanparker6209 that may be how Hannah winds up not only getting rescued but getting back with June and Luke....remember Lawrence never had a handmaid that actually had to perform the "ceremony"...I still think he carries tremendous guilt over the suicide of his wife and how he did not allow or Gilead did not allow for her to be treated properly....so I think he feels he owes June and Hannah in some way....I just hope that the other commanders do not have Nick be the one that has to take him out if it comes to that...I think Nick would be very conflicted in that moment, but it might also be a chance for Nick to be the one calling all the shots and maybe he would be the one that finally brings this whole thing down.
@@juliemiller3502 He did the ceremony with June when Lawrence started getting pressed by the other commanders. June pretty much had to coach him through it, and that's what lead to his wife killing herself
I want June to finally have her family back together again so she can finally find some form of peace. We've been waiting for years and I'd love it if they could finally have their daughter back. Now I know if she was returned to her parents it that would only be the start since she's all but forgotten about her parents and wouldn't take well to being taken and placed with people she'd just see as strangers but I still hope things can work out for all of them.
Considering that Luke and June sound to be just kind of getting a rhythm then to add Hannah would be weird. Hannah doesn't know them and definitely doesn't know June as she is now. It would be interesting to see how they work that.
I thought I wanted June/Luke/Hannah, but now I'm leaning toward June/Nick/Nichole. I think if they take Hannah out of the equation, it takes Luke out for June.
I'm on the fence of how this will end. Almost every season "Murphy's Law" June's escape and Hannah's extraction, but there's also been high notes like S4's ending. I'm thinking the raid will go wrong (because if it's so simple to just raid wife schools, why hasn't the American and Canadian government done anything but "protest ✌🏻" for nearly a decade) I believe she'll either get put under higher security or accidently get killed by either side. In the event that they do get her out, it's just hard to believe that they'll spend the final season rebuilding their relationship and getting only morsels of life inside Gilead with Janine and Esther. It's possible, just like Orange is the New Black did it's final season with the main character readjusting to life on the outside, I just have a feeling we have too much trust in Mark...
I'm just concerned because I heard fighter jets overhead....I hope to hell they aren't going to drop some type of bombs or whatever to cause a distraction and then go in there to get Hannah and the other girls....that would wind up having disastrous results....
Has anyone read The Testaments. I'm pretty sure one of the main characters is Agnes and she goes to school to be an aunt so she won't have to get married. So this raid is gonna be a bust.
Enfin épisode 8 saison 5 ça accélère la cadence... Jusque-là on tournait en rond... June a une vraie info sur le lieu où se trouve l'école des épouses de Giléad où se trouve Anna, sa fille. Une attaque du Canada contre Giléad se prépare alors que Lorentz essaye de remplir sa ville de Bethléem pour les Américains expatriés au Canada, genre une zone indépendante où les parents pourraient voir leurs enfants retenus à Giléad...C'est un peu trop beau... Il espère que cet exemple déteindra sur Giléad ... alors qu'il dit aux membres directeurs de Giléad que c'est juste une vitrine pour le monde extérieur... Il est toujours dans le double jeu dangereux... et il prend du galon. Peut-on le croire lorsqu'il dit qu'il se repend de ses erreurs ? Qu'il veut que d'ici 5 ans Giléad soit absorbé par Bethleem ? June doute de lui. C'est un homme assez tordu. La suite dira si la bataille a lieu et si June retrouvera Anna. Ce serait la fin de la série. Serena est traitée comme une servante et est retenu dans le manoir avec ce couple flippant, qui lui vole son bébé qu'elle a juste le droit de nourrir. Elle réalise enfin l'horreur de Giléad pour les servantes. C'est bien mérité.
If they will rescue Hannah this season, there will be nothing to show in the next season and if they will kill Hannah this season it will be nothing for the next season either. I think that Trullo wins some time by saying that he is going to rescue Hannah. I believe June will go back to Gilead, things just can’t be solved that easily because there is one more season to go.
All I’ve wanted from the start is hanna safe and free together with June. But I doubt that’s happening in next episode. The raid will probably not be a thing. That’s not what I heard from the call. I heard wheels in motion… not a raid to save hanna.
There’s a promo that shows clips of the next episode. The guy is showing June where Hannah is on a big screen where they are using a droid or something to spy on her and he said something like, “they’ll kill anyone that gets in their way”
Serena has become a mother herself now to baby Noah and She understand June a whole lot better now than she did before....Before giving birth she didn't understand or relate to her longing for her child..to wanting to protect her child..That Mother hood bond..Hope June tell her the only way she can keep Noah is to remarry ASAP..
My guess is that Hannah is so brainwashed by Gilead that she'll reject June and Luke. She'll WANT to go back to Gilead and be a wife, which will be a knife in the hearts of her parents. June and Luke still see her as the little girl they lost, not a teenager who doesn't remember them (or has been carefully taught to hate and fear them) and desperately wants to be with the "husband" she was promised. June and Luke will make every mistake possible -- in their minds she's still six or seven years old and playing with dolls and crayons. But Hannah is closer to being an adult than a child and in her mind has made a place for herself in a system she knows well. She's forgotten everything about America, has no clue who these strange and terrifying people are and hates what they've done to her. I really hope Mark gets them counseling before giving them Hannah, so they have at least some idea of what to expect.
@@krisaaron5771 yeah I agree with that being highly possible as well. They already showed us she doesn't really remember June and infact fears her when we saw her in the glass cage.
I thought this show would end up like killing eve and that the writers would run out of material but they continue to take interesting turns and the actors continue to push there skills to the limit what a show
Yeah I’m thinking Lawrence will be taken out as punishment for losing Hannah and the guy we saw apologizing will be the one to do it. I think Nick will either go out with him or maybe see it coming and pretend to turn on him to he might even have to be the one to kill him. And new Bethlehem will never come to be.
Lawrence has always been shady in my eyes. Like yes, superficially, he feels good-intentioned but I can't help but feel like his whole character is a build up to some plot twist
Did anyone else get the feeling that those jets you heard at the end was the American government possibly BOMBING Hannah's school...? I know it's hella dark but this show sometimes goes for the gut punch. I'm hoping I'm wrong and way off cause I dont think I could keep watching after that. After all they went through to find Hannah...
How can Serena be “growing on you?” Everyone wanted some semblance of justice and just as we’re gifted with a picture perfect one, it’s “yay! She’s a ‘good guy’ now! Let’s get her free and let her live happily ever after!” ????? Uh… no. She created a life of hell for June and countless others. She felt no remorse and would have shot June in cold blood if she wasn’t having contractions on the spot and was in the same situation she put june in. EVEN AFTER june saves her and the baby, she shows her pathological narcissism without a shred of empathy to see how it’s come full circle. No… she just thinks “oh… you forgave me so all that stuff I did doesn’t matter anymore and we’re best friends so now you’ll help me because I need you to and have no one else who will!” STILL she needs June to explain to her that everything she did to get away from them, killing Fred, imprisoning her, making her fear that she’s coming to kill her, was all part of her revenge because of how much she truly hates her. The only justice that could ever come close to being satisfactory would be for Serena to experience everything she inflicted on June and what Giliead does to force innocent women into living hells. And just as we finally get that, we absolve her of all her sins because she’s the most purely selfish and just needs everyone to give her a perfect life with her baby, free?? This entire notion makes me sick.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE when June unloaded on Luke about not doing anything to get Hannah out for 7 YEARS !!! HE DESERVED THAT 💯💯💯 NICK has been there for June the whole time. Luke Bankhole/Lukewarm Bunghole. I am so TEAMNICKANDJUNE.
@@donnaholton6532 Nick lived under a totalitarian regime. Luke lived in a free country. He wasn’t at risk of losing his life. He risked nothing and continues to risk nothing. The difference between the two are that one is selfless and the other selfish. Thank goodness June finally let it be known that Luke is worthless. He did nothing pre-Gilead and thereafter.
@@thenickandjunejunkie8929 bull shit, what was he meant to do? Storm Gilead as a one man army and end up killed? Then he would truly be useless. He did everything he could with the resources he had.
@@speck211 He did SHIT!! Plenty people have had their children kidnapped and taken to other countries, and the one thing they don’t do is give up! Luke refuse to go to a vigil for June in 4x03 because he thought June stayed in Gilead for Nick.. It never crossed his mind that perhaps she stayed for Hannah. All he did was cry in his beer and make a scrapbook. And still he’s doing nothing to get Hannah back. You know why? Because Nichole is Hannah by proxy. He’s always wanted to be a father and when Hannah was taken it left a void that Nichole is now filling. He’s fighting hard for June to stay, but still, he’s not willing to risk anything for his daughter. Even the actor that plays Luke describes him as weak and incompetent. He also said that Luke knows he didn’t do enough to get June and Hannah back. But if weak men are what you like, have at it. Luke definitely fits the bill.
June did what was right for Noah because hes innocent none of it was for Serena. I couldnt even imagine having the slightest thought to befriend someone who held me down so their husband could rape me. and so many more awful things.
Anyone else shipping Cmdr Lawrence and Sarena? I feel like it's an obvious move for them both but they will also be problematic for each other. There is no room for single parenthood in Gilead and Serena is not going to be able to suck it up and be subservient. I hope we get to know Hannah now and I know the Testaments in the future.
I don't think she would seek revenge at that point. After all she went through I can't possibly see her being able to carry on and have the motivation to do anything if Hannah dies
June did exactly as she promised: She saved Serena and the baby by helping with the birth and then saved them once again by getting them to a hospital! The fact that Luke couldn't resist dropping a turd in the punch-bowl by calling the authorities on Serena was entirely out of June's control. Although why the Canadians would hand the baby over to "religious nut-jobs" who support the Gilead system baffles me.
The whole series became really one sided. The crack Serena makes about males eating their babies and that is why babies look like their dads is just disgusting. I'm a woman and even I cannot take how hateful it became. Do they not realize we love our sons, husbands and fathers?

@@jessieross8391 June said that Luke did nothing for 7 years while she was trapped in Gilead. If Hannah's now 12 then she was about 5 when separated from her parents.
Thank you that was great. Bradley Whitford deserves an Emmy for this performance.
The scene where he was crying was so powerful and unexpected as he's usually so nonchalant about the whole thing. That's when you realized he feels just as weak and powerless as everyone else!
I want to see Hannah’s journey from her point of view
Could be another whole series that I would watch.
@@AuntieL_ATL yes!
Was I the only one who heard jets in the closing scene with Hannah and thought they were about to bomb the school? I got very bad vibes that the happy moment was going to be spoiled immediately in the next episode.
Ahhh yup! I was like are they gonna bomb the girls!? 🙈
Tuello said they would do all they could to prevent June from going back and in turn causing other Americans to return as well. I have a bad feeling that he plans on taking Hannah off the table completely so June would no longer have a reason to return 😢
Exactly!! I think the raid is going to be more like a bombing. I heard the jets and hope they don't kill Hannah.
@@anikkaa8568 Good point. That would also make that "I love Mark Tuello" line from Luke turn to ash. They gave him too much information.
Am I the only 1 who hears the jets in the background when hannah was planting and when it went to black.... Her school or close by is going to be bombed, Tuello said that they had been planning some type of military action... How heartbreaking will it be if hannah does or is severely injured.
I agree
Yep I think Hannah will be killed or seriously wounded.
@@TheCovergirl01 thabkyou! I'm so surprised no one else is talking about this. Especially those who do the breakdowns. I think game of thrones broke me when it comes to foreshadowing and seeing/hearing things you wouldn't normally take too much notice of lol x
@@uhohhotdog thankyou! I'm so surprised no one else is talking about it...
jets also deliver Americans that are going to take children back. they're not just going to kill the child she has to reject normal society first they have to show the effect of being raised in Gilead
Serena is going to cross June again. The way the camera captured how her face was changing (really both of them), that niceness was just for a moment. They still will want to destroy eachother.
Idk..I think they’re done with that. They’re not friends but they’re not enemies anymore. They’re even. June got her revenge against her.
I thought so too...though the expression was for a second but why show something if there is none...Right?
Waiting to be Wowed again..!!
@@cinderellaasmr I agree. I think that storyline is over. It’s Serena vs her house now.
Lawrence already said it, Gilead has to be Gilead. He is crazy to think he has more control than the next guy who will take his place by shady means.
I think June had to tell Serena they were not friends and TELL her exactly what to do to survive so that she stood on her own 2 feet and did what she had to do to be with her baby. I also think they will become Allies and Serena will move to new Bethlehem to be close to June or essentially be safe. But I think this new Bethlehem is not what it seems. So we will see and I cannot wait.
What did Hannah see when it made her stop in her tracks on that clip of her 🤔🤔🤔
I think she knew they were filming her so she wanted to let them know. In the last scene Hannah did the same thing her mom June did. Hannah remembers them and wants to go back.
I was so terrified that something bad was going to happen to June while she was happily running home. With all the angry protesters around it just seemed too good to be true.
Same. Or a car hitting her
@@ruletterouge yes! I kept saying somethings going to happen while half covering my face!
What is the name of the music playing at the end oof this episode? It is beautiful.
I honestly have a bad feeling about the raid... especially with the sounds of the jets at the end, just screams airstrike to me. I really hope I'm wrong but I could very easily see them either seriously hurting or killing Hannah and June freakin out and going to New Bethlehem.
Yeah, I doubt they would introduce that New Bethlehem plot just for June not to go and have her happy ever after so soon...
@@maevab2923 same, I think the raid will end poorly and end up being and air raid which will cause June to turn from the US and go to New Bethlehem
@@maevab2923 Right and even teasing us with Nick and Rose there too. New Bethlehem has got to happen.
Lawrence's charachter is soo interisting. "I had to work together with religious nutjobs", great quote.
Serena has always been a love hate relationship 🤣 it's crazy. Lol
Definitely - this season i'm rooting for her despite all the wrong she has done!
I hope June and Serena bring down Gilead. TOGETHER
They said they’d do anything to stop June going back. Including killing her daughter in an air strike to give her no reason to go back to Gilied?
Yeah, it looked more like an air strike to destroy the school than a rescue operation
@@kosmik_girl yeah. Wouldn’t be the first time america bombed a school either
@@Brajole Isn't it Canada?
@@enkelejda1031 Canada is just where they live. Trullo is representing America
Looking at how complex the series is... I think this will be the next appropriate move in the series... (The way they are showing June's happiness, I suspected something very very bad will happen to her!!)
God!! You just ruined the suspense!! 😀
Do you know where's the trailer for episode 9?
It's strange it can't be found anywhere. I guess they want to avoid spoilers. Looks like it's impossible to show what will happen next without spoilers
Anyone know what instrumental song is playing while the credits roll on this episode? I can not find it anywhere. It's beautiful.
Something not explained is the very ending of the episode.. those were not helicopters or regular planes. Unless i heard it wrong it was a bomber... I do not think this goes the way many may think it does... i think it will end tragically.. just my 2 cents. A key clue that was given to June was the word "Invasion"
Sounded like a jet to me. Def wasn't a helicopter and a plane flying overhead doesn't seem useful in a surprise raid
@@cielomcmeekin7296 I think it was a bomber "Air Raid", however they have used several tactics in the past to give a different impression of what actually happens. guess we will see :)..
We heard the jets as Hannah looked up . . .
I was thinking a screwup occurred and they bomb the Wives School. 😢
I HOPE I am wrong.
I think so too
I considered this too. Bc why would a hey be going over like that for a raid?
Like I commented, I hope I am wrong because if this joint effort to bomb Gilead kills Hannah ~ Miss June is going to lose it! 🤬
I kept expecting June to ask Lawrence to marry Hannah to be able to keep her safe and move her to NB.
Its still not off the table, he may make that executive move himself. I don't think June would EVER suggest that, and I don't think he wants that. You may be right though, and we get an Eden 2.0 with Hannah wondering if he's a gender traitor cause he's avoiding sex with her.
@@jonathanparker6209 that may be how Hannah winds up not only getting rescued but getting back with June and Luke....remember Lawrence never had a handmaid that actually had to perform the "ceremony"...I still think he carries tremendous guilt over the suicide of his wife and how he did not allow or Gilead did not allow for her to be treated properly....so I think he feels he owes June and Hannah in some way....I just hope that the other commanders do not have Nick be the one that has to take him out if it comes to that...I think Nick would be very conflicted in that moment, but it might also be a chance for Nick to be the one calling all the shots and maybe he would be the one that finally brings this whole thing down.
@@juliemiller3502 He slept with at least one Handmaid. I remember him giving one the "Morning After" pill the next day.
@@juliemiller3502 He did the ceremony with June when Lawrence started getting pressed by the other commanders. June pretty much had to coach him through it, and that's what lead to his wife killing herself
@@jonathanparker6209 I remmeberrrr june had to help him cause he didn’t want to 😭
I feel like june is somehow going to help Serena get to New Bethlehem with Noah.
Anyone know the composer for the end scene music? Sounds pretty epic!
How are there no comments here about the planes flying overhead in the last scene? Surely that has to signify SOMETHING!?!
I want June to finally have her family back together again so she can finally find some form of peace. We've been waiting for years and I'd love it if they could finally have their daughter back. Now I know if she was returned to her parents it that would only be the start since she's all but forgotten about her parents and wouldn't take well to being taken and placed with people she'd just see as strangers but I still hope things can work out for all of them.
Considering that Luke and June sound to be just kind of getting a rhythm then to add Hannah would be weird. Hannah doesn't know them and definitely doesn't know June as she is now. It would be interesting to see how they work that.
I thought I wanted June/Luke/Hannah, but now I'm leaning toward June/Nick/Nichole. I think if they take Hannah out of the equation, it takes Luke out for June.
Last scene sounded like bombers above ✈️ Hannah “launching a military action”
Trying to find the trailer for next week's episode n can't find it on UA-cam
I'm on the fence of how this will end. Almost every season "Murphy's Law" June's escape and Hannah's extraction, but there's also been high notes like S4's ending. I'm thinking the raid will go wrong (because if it's so simple to just raid wife schools, why hasn't the American and Canadian government done anything but "protest ✌🏻" for nearly a decade) I believe she'll either get put under higher security or accidently get killed by either side.
In the event that they do get her out, it's just hard to believe that they'll spend the final season rebuilding their relationship and getting only morsels of life inside Gilead with Janine and Esther. It's possible, just like Orange is the New Black did it's final season with the main character readjusting to life on the outside, I just have a feeling we have too much trust in Mark...
Too much trust in Mark. My vibe exactly with him.
I'm just concerned because I heard fighter jets overhead....I hope to hell they aren't going to drop some type of bombs or whatever to cause a distraction and then go in there to get Hannah and the other girls....that would wind up having disastrous results....
Omg can you imagine if Hannah gets killed?! That would be devastating!
Has anyone read The Testaments. I'm pretty sure one of the main characters is Agnes and she goes to school to be an aunt so she won't have to get married. So this raid is gonna be a bust.
I feel like something will go totally wrong, just not sure what. N who's Agnes? Are you saying it's not a wife school, it's an aunt school?
@@cielomcmeekin7296 the book “The Testaments” is basically a sequel to “the Handmaid’s Tale”
You're right. And Hannah has been re-named Angus in Gilead.
This episode was some anti capitalism, no border, new world order propaganda type shit.
Yeah. Didn't appreciate that, but the rest was awesome!
Enfin épisode 8 saison 5 ça accélère la cadence... Jusque-là on tournait en rond... June a une vraie info sur le lieu où se trouve l'école des épouses de Giléad où se trouve Anna, sa fille. Une attaque du Canada contre Giléad se prépare alors que Lorentz essaye de remplir sa ville de Bethléem pour les Américains expatriés au Canada, genre une zone indépendante où les parents pourraient voir leurs enfants retenus à Giléad...C'est un peu trop beau... Il espère que cet exemple déteindra sur Giléad ... alors qu'il dit aux membres directeurs de Giléad que c'est juste une vitrine pour le monde extérieur... Il est toujours dans le double jeu dangereux... et il prend du galon. Peut-on le croire lorsqu'il dit qu'il se repend de ses erreurs ? Qu'il veut que d'ici 5 ans Giléad soit absorbé par Bethleem ? June doute de lui. C'est un homme assez tordu. La suite dira si la bataille a lieu et si June retrouvera Anna. Ce serait la fin de la série. Serena est traitée comme une servante et est retenu dans le manoir avec ce couple flippant, qui lui vole son bébé qu'elle a juste le droit de nourrir. Elle réalise enfin l'horreur de Giléad pour les servantes. C'est bien mérité.
If they will rescue Hannah this season, there will be nothing to show in the next season and if they will kill Hannah this season it will be nothing for the next season either. I think that Trullo wins some time by saying that he is going to rescue Hannah. I believe June will go back to Gilead, things just can’t be solved that easily because there is one more season to go.
There is no next season without conflict and hard times yet ahead.
All I’ve wanted from the start is hanna safe and free together with June. But I doubt that’s happening in next episode. The raid will probably not be a thing. That’s not what I heard from the call. I heard wheels in motion… not a raid to save hanna.
There’s a promo that shows clips of the next episode. The guy is showing June where Hannah is on a big screen where they are using a droid or something to spy on her and he said something like, “they’ll kill anyone that gets in their way”
Serena has become a mother herself now to baby Noah and She understand June a whole lot better now than she did before....Before giving birth she didn't understand or relate to her longing for her child..to wanting to protect her child..That Mother hood bond..Hope June tell her the only way she can keep Noah is to remarry ASAP..
I think they will kill Hannah in the raid....something
Wow good guess I think you're right!
Exactly
The jets flying by had me feeling some kind of way. I would probably be done with this show if they did kill Hannah off.
My guess is that Hannah is so brainwashed by Gilead that she'll reject June and Luke. She'll WANT to go back to Gilead and be a wife, which will be a knife in the hearts of her parents. June and Luke still see her as the little girl they lost, not a teenager who doesn't remember them (or has been carefully taught to hate and fear them) and desperately wants to be with the "husband" she was promised.
June and Luke will make every mistake possible -- in their minds she's still six or seven years old and playing with dolls and crayons. But Hannah is closer to being an adult than a child and in her mind has made a place for herself in a system she knows well. She's forgotten everything about America, has no clue who these strange and terrifying people are and hates what they've done to her.
I really hope Mark gets them counseling before giving them Hannah, so they have at least some idea of what to expect.
@@krisaaron5771 yeah I agree with that being highly possible as well. They already showed us she doesn't really remember June and infact fears her when we saw her in the glass cage.
I thought this show would end up like killing eve and that the writers would run out of material but they continue to take interesting turns and the actors continue to push there skills to the limit what a show
It’s very true! I’m looking forward to seeing where they’re going to go in the next season too!
Serena is main character in this season. I'm obsessed
I know what you mean. Super invested in her character!
Yeah I’m thinking Lawrence will be taken out as punishment for losing Hannah and the guy we saw apologizing will be the one to do it. I think Nick will either go out with him or maybe see it coming and pretend to turn on him to he might even have to be the one to kill him. And new Bethlehem will never come to be.
Lawrence has always been shady in my eyes. Like yes, superficially, he feels good-intentioned but I can't help but feel like his whole character is a build up to some plot twist
Did anyone else get the feeling that those jets you heard at the end was the American government possibly BOMBING Hannah's school...?
I know it's hella dark but this show sometimes goes for the gut punch.
I'm hoping I'm wrong and way off cause I dont think I could keep watching after that.
After all they went through to find Hannah...
My exact thoughts. It’s all peaceful and then you hear that in the distance…it was for a reason
How can Serena be “growing on you?” Everyone wanted some semblance of justice and just as we’re gifted with a picture perfect one, it’s “yay! She’s a ‘good guy’ now! Let’s get her free and let her live happily ever after!” ?????
Uh… no. She created a life of hell for June and countless others. She felt no remorse and would have shot June in cold blood if she wasn’t having contractions on the spot and was in the same situation she put june in. EVEN AFTER june saves her and the baby, she shows her pathological narcissism without a shred of empathy to see how it’s come full circle. No… she just thinks “oh… you forgave me so all that stuff I did doesn’t matter anymore and we’re best friends so now you’ll help me because I need you to and have no one else who will!” STILL she needs June to explain to her that everything she did to get away from them, killing Fred, imprisoning her, making her fear that she’s coming to kill her, was all part of her revenge because of how much she truly hates her.
The only justice that could ever come close to being satisfactory would be for Serena to experience everything she inflicted on June and what Giliead does to force innocent women into living hells. And just as we finally get that, we absolve her of all her sins because she’s the most purely selfish and just needs everyone to give her a perfect life with her baby, free?? This entire notion makes me sick.
I'm afraid the "raid" is not what we think its going to be. I hope Hannah does not become a casualty. It seems to foreshadow it to me.
I don't think Hanna will want to leave. She seems content...like she's been fully brainwashed to accept her place there. We shall 👀
Yeah that is true - she's spent a lot of her formative years there so she may not remember much else before!
Under his eye 👁
I think June will forgive Serena after she experiences life as a hanmiad with the wheelers
Serena is smart and capable of just about anything.
Yeah I’d agree with that. Her experience is going to come in handy
I LOVE LOVE LOVE when June unloaded on Luke about not doing anything to get Hannah out for 7 YEARS !!! HE DESERVED THAT 💯💯💯 NICK has been there for June the whole time. Luke Bankhole/Lukewarm Bunghole. I am so TEAMNICKANDJUNE.
YASSSSSSS!!!! I screamed when she said that! It was one of the things on my wishlist for season 5. I’m sure there a lot more where that came from.
@@donnaholton6532 Nick lived under a totalitarian regime. Luke lived in a free country. He wasn’t at risk of losing his life. He risked nothing and continues to risk nothing. The difference between the two are that one is selfless and the other selfish. Thank goodness June finally let it be known that Luke is worthless. He did nothing pre-Gilead and thereafter.
@@thenickandjunejunkie8929 bull shit, what was he meant to do? Storm Gilead as a one man army and end up killed? Then he would truly be useless. He did everything he could with the resources he had.
@@speck211 He did SHIT!! Plenty people have had their children kidnapped and taken to other countries, and the one thing they don’t do is give up! Luke refuse to go to a vigil for June in 4x03 because he thought June stayed in Gilead for Nick.. It never crossed his mind that perhaps she stayed for Hannah. All he did was cry in his beer and make a scrapbook. And still he’s doing nothing to get Hannah back. You know why? Because Nichole is Hannah by proxy. He’s always wanted to be a father and when Hannah was taken it left a void that Nichole is now filling. He’s fighting hard for June to stay, but still, he’s not willing to risk anything for his daughter. Even the actor that plays Luke describes him as weak and incompetent. He also said that Luke knows he didn’t do enough to get June and Hannah back. But if weak men are what you like, have at it. Luke definitely fits the bill.
@@donnaholton6532 I thought it was Commander Lawrence that sent Emily and Nicole to Canada.
I thought June and Serena going to be friends no longer hate each other
Seems like a friendship can’t be forged between them
June did what was right for Noah because hes innocent none of it was for Serena. I couldnt even imagine having the slightest thought to befriend someone who held me down so their husband could rape me. and so many more awful things.
Anyone else shipping Cmdr Lawrence and Sarena? I feel like it's an obvious move for them both but they will also be problematic for each other. There is no room for single parenthood in Gilead and Serena is not going to be able to suck it up and be subservient. I hope we get to know Hannah now and I know the Testaments in the future.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna kill Hannah by accident or something and June will seek revenge *as always*
That will break June!
I don't think she would seek revenge at that point. After all she went through I can't possibly see her being able to carry on and have the motivation to do anything if Hannah dies
The coming episodes are going to have to be big and that means probably someone dying
Yeah it definitely feels like a happy ending isn’t on the cards for everyone!
Unfortunately if they plan on having a show based on the next book we know Hannah won't be saved. They'll probably just miss Hannah.
She ended up being saved tho, just not that early
@@maevab2923 yeah it just took her until 23-26 years old to do it
Hannah is alive in The Testaments. But yes she is older, but not too much.
@@marydavidson9508 never said she was dead and yes the Testaments actually start with her telling about her life from when she can start to remember
Ugh I really wanted episode 7 to carry on I wanted them to make friends she said she would save her and her baby why say it then not do it :(
I know, it's a shame - but as imagined, it's hard to not hold onto the past!
June did exactly as she promised: She saved Serena and the baby by helping with the birth and then saved them once again by getting them to a hospital!
The fact that Luke couldn't resist dropping a turd in the punch-bowl by calling the authorities on Serena was entirely out of June's control. Although why the Canadians would hand the baby over to "religious nut-jobs" who support the Gilead system baffles me.
Every time Serena and June make progress between them a man does something to come between them.
Serena should hook up with the agent, I think it's Noah daddy
now she was completely loyal to her husband
We watched it, we don't need an explanation.
Am I the only 1 who got a dreadful feeling as they were celebrating Hannah?
Definitely not 😬
So no explanation of the ending at all eh. nice
the Canadians going all racist felt forced and kinda badly written xd
It's real, see how their government treats first nations people
The whole series became really one sided. The crack Serena makes about males eating their babies and that is why babies look like their dads is just disgusting. I'm a woman and even I cannot take how hateful it became. Do they not realize we love our sons, husbands and fathers?
what
It looks like Noah has some black in him. How could Fred be the father?
