The whole second season of The Handmaid’s Tale has been about when will June (Elisabeth Moss) give birth to the Waterford’s baby, and that moment is streaming now on Hulu.
Last week, when we left off June was alone in a mansion in the middle of nowhere after finally seeing her daughter and Nick (Max Minghella) being dragged away by some strangers. Of course, now would be the perfect time for her to go into labor. Right? But can she deliver this baby all by herself? She has no choice but to because there is no one else there to help her and no way she can get any help. As we know when a baby is ready to come, it is ready to come.
As she is struggling with the contractions, she remembers the last time she went through this. Things were a whole lot different when she had Hannah. We see just how very different they were.
The big question you want to know is will she get away? I cannot tell you that. But a lot of game-changing stuff is going to happen in the final two episodes of the season. Therefore, enjoy the calm before the storm in this episode that all is about June.
