![]() Minutes later, when the doody hits the fan and the Lawrences disappear to make their own escape, thus ruining the Great Truck Plan, she immediately decides to piggyback on the Marthas’ plans, and try to get those kids on the plane. I mean, she might ask a few questions, but nothing too probing. June will absolutely, definitely not interfere with the Marthas’ plans. ![]() But what are the odds of that, eh? Don’t be ridiculous! Unless, by some huge and incredible coincidence, there happened to be some Marthas nearby who owed her their lives and would just help her out without any prompting. If she gets in trouble, they won’t come to save her. Whatever you do, don’t mess with existing Martha Network plans. Still, the Martha Bosses offer a stark reminder: they could kill her and get rid of her body, and no-one would ever know what happened. ![]() Beth vouches for her, and reminds them of the Chicago 5 incident, when June saved some women from certain death in the Colonies, to serve as Marthas and bring super-duper rebel skills to the team. To be fair, her and Joseph’s qualifications for ‘getting people out’ were just the two of them piggybacking on a Martha Network operation. Speaking of which, the Martha Network, Provider of Abundant Yes-Muffins, isn’t too happy with June thinking she can just waltz into their business and mastermind the most dangerous plot ever. June’s just done a whopper - we’re rescuing 52 kids to make you look good, Joseph! - to try and get a few more trucks for the Great Plan. In honour of the title, keep your eyes peeled for Lying Liars Who Lie. She’s taking a very relaxed attitude to her handmaid uniform - for who is there to tell her what to do? She’s the one with the (barely sketched outline of a) Great Plan, the one who can finally manipulate Joseph and the one who can keep Eleanor calm. It works as they hug, it’s clear that June is now the centre of this household. But we can’t always just do what we want.” She saves him because she needs his help, not because he deserves anything different. June talks her out of it, perhaps not in a way that offers much comfort to Joseph (but hey, he had it coming): “I would like to kill him too. This week, she isn’t crying behind a curtain she’s threatening to shoot her husband in the head. The ‘crazy person speaks the truth’ trope might be a bit too familiar, but in The Handmaid’s Tale, where telling truth is rare on a good day (let alone this week, when the episode title is ‘Liars’) the truth is liberating. “You owe me.” Eleanor just seemed broken, but this was underestimating her again. Last week, the witnessed Ceremony changed much of the power dynamic in the house, with Joseph brought low from shame, and June given some leverage. Spoilers are ahead!Īpologies in advance for getting “Cell Block Tango” stuck in your head this week, but really, they had it coming. All together now: “They had it coming! They had it coming all along…” This was probably the best episode of season 3 so far, so without further ado, fire up your washing machine (might need some Vanish), and let’s dive into all those episode 11 moments that made us cheer. ![]() Here’s my recap for episode 10 if you missed it! Previously on The Handmaid’s Tale: Serena wanted Fred to make a deal with the Americans using the secret phone she got in episode 5 June recruited allies for her Great Plan and the Lawrences found themselves under the uncomfortably watchful eyes of High Commander Winslow.
