What happened in The Handmaid's Tale season 6 episode 7?
Episode 7 of The Handmaid's Tale saw Mayday's plans for a revolution in Gilead suffer a severe blow. This happened after Commander Wharton obtained information from Nick regarding the group's plans to kill the commanders at Jezebel's. Upon learning this, he sent his men to rid the place of its inhabitants. However, Janine's life was spared, as Commander Bell wanted her as his handmaid.
After June learned of these events, she was shocked because, up until then, she believed she could trust Nick. She left New Bethlehem believing that Nick could no longer be trusted.
When she reached Mayday, everyone at their base was treating June with ambivalence. June was also uncertain about her actions and wished to distance herself from the revolution. However, when Commander Lawrence came and tried to encourage her to join the movement, while revealing that Serena was marrying Commander Wharton, June agreed.
Since she knew Serena well, she was able to devise a plan for Mayday and the other women in Gilead to attack the commanders and other wrongdoers on the day of Serena's marriage. This was possible because Serena and Wharton agreed to a traditional marriage in which the handmaids, aunts, and other women serving Gilead would also be present.
What to expect from the upcoming episodes of The Handmaid's Tale?
The upcoming episodes of the show will focus on Serena's marriage to Commander Wharton, which will also serve as one of the primary sites of the revolution that Mayday has been planning for a long time. Episode 7 of the show has already seen the plan come into action as information traveled from one person to another, from Mayday's base to Gilead.
That said, it was not just information that traveled between these two places; June and Moira also made their way into Gilead in the trunk of Commander Lawrence's car and were received by Aunt Phoebe. So, as June says in the last few seconds of episode six of The Handmaid's Tale, the upcoming episodes are about murdering "those godd*mn motherf***ers."
