The Handmaids Tale Season 4 Episode 10 The Wilderness Recap

[@the_wandering_yehudi]

I think the kiss was less about the relationship between June and Nick and more about letting Fred know that they were in on this together, and he was in some deep shit

[@TheRecaps]

Thats a good observation. I just feel bad for Luke whos sitting in Canada like "....So Rita...you wanna get Pizza or something?"

[@ryanedwards7487]

@@dianeagostino4177 Nah, remember what Luke told her in the flashback: Then I'll love whoever you turn out to be. The June he tried to get out of Gilead is gone. Also, the Offred / Oflawrence Gilead knew is gone. This June is a totally different person. But Luke still loves her. It's the same way for me. The woman I married 7 years ago isn't the same woman I'm married to today (just like I'm not the same man she married those years ago) but we still love the each other. He's just upset she's basically about to go off to lead the French resistance instead of living a quiet life with him. Now, I see him accepting this and being OK with it in time, but that's what he so upset about at the end.

[@ryanedwards7487]

@@TheRecaps nah, we both know Rita will probably look at him in the first episode of season 5 and say: Since June got me out of there, how about I help around here with one caveat: We both take turns cooking.

"Just give me 5 minutes, then I'll go"....sounds like she's not going to be staying with Luke and Nicole any more. This will make an interesting season 5 as she tries to get Hannah back.

[@HK-gm8pe]

Luke was probably thinking "why June? why??" because in his perspective June choose revenge on Fred over "beautiful life" withj him and Nicole and Luke had hopes even to get Hannah peacefully but no...Luke got out from Gilead very early , so he doesnt know Gilead at all basically , he didnt see how everything works there but June went trough 7 years of rape and brutality...theres just not enough words how much pain this woman went trough...and she is not going to let this go as long as Gilead stands June will be on fire no peacefully moving on as long as this madness stands in her mind , I hope that we see more of Nick helping June as well , cause if in the beginning she belonged with Luke then now it is Nick for sure...even though its fobidden love and canj never happen , Nick is the one who understands her , Luke cand even comprehend her, this isnt a woman he married anymore

[@bs5817]

i just want to point out how shitty it is for luke to tell june to get over fred being released

[@marinakotova51]

The thing is, Luke does not understand. He does not understand that June has "other options". He has been living in safety for the last 8 years. Of course, his trauma is also important but it is nowhere close to what June has experienced. For him its still, black and white. He loves Junes, he wants her to be happy. And he knows that if Fred is being released, the only way for her to move on in his mind, is for her to let go. In his eyes, he sees the motivation for her to let go. Him and Nicole. But as we found out this episode, June is way beyond this by this point.

[@cfinley81]

What Luke realized in that last scene was that June was no longer the girl he once knew. She was worlds different now. She was a victim for years and now she's MAD. She's forever changed in what she's done.

Great recap!! I feel as if Offred is Junes unresolved past, anger, hatred that finally got the bloody justice she wanted and when she picks up her daughter (with so much light around, so much peace) this symbolizes the character Offred actually ready to be at rest. I dont think the theories of June being brought to justice for freds death are plausible. First off, as far as everyone knows, Fred was handed off to Lawrence and the Eyes. It aint Tuello or Canadas problem if their commander went rogue. However who were all those women? The women from Junes therapy group? I was a bit confused

[@rukibee7716]

Yes, it’s the women from the therapy group

She will not be free because June will continue to press charges. Do you think the CIA guy has feelings to Serena? Then he is really stupid.

Whenever Fred talked about how he was going to be a free man, I looked for Serena's facial expression. There was no trust left in that relationship. I think if Mark didn't inform Serena that Fred would never make it to Geneva, when she learns of his fate she will not grieve. She has had her own plan to raise her son alone right along.

He does not see Serena as we do. At this point he knows about one crime Serena participated to. Which is horrible, but i guess he gives her the benefit of the doubt because of how low the position of women there is. I think its difficult for him to accept that Serena is actually even a bigger monster than Fred is. So i think for him its surprising that she wants to raise a child with a man like this since he does not yet know the true nature of Serena. I can even forgive him that.

They ruined the show with this ending. It would have been a perfecly good and satisfactory season ending with Fred being sent back to Gilead and to have him on trial by the same laws he created. He would have ended up in colonies or executed anyway. The terror he felt when they sent him back to gilead just sums it up, he knew what was awaiting him, and thats exectly the terror June wanted him to feel. This way they made Fred a victim and a martyr, having him torn to pieces without trial by angry mob. Thats no justice, thats revenge which is opposite of justice. He never did anything to any of them except June. They were just wreaking revenge on him like he's some personification of Gilead and all the bad that happened to them all. And whats more they did it exactly like Gilead trained them, like angry mob. The women dealt no justice, they just became what they fought against. So i guess the point is you can escape from Gilead but it can never escape from you. It was really sickening to watch it, i cant believe anybody found that satisfying. Not to mention that the whole arangement made zero sense. Like Gilead would let like 25 women go in exchange for Fred. Its not like its just lawrence's choice. Especially with him barely avoiding execution himself. And like anybody would let like 50 women cross into no mans land and like Gilead wouldnt immediately capture them all. And like Nick could even arrange to bring a prissoner into no mans land even of he is a comander when Fred's being held in custody by like 20 eyes.

2 countries that have very different values and are at the verge of war usually need a space that's considered a No Man's Land (even N.Korea and S.Korea has one afaik) for negotiation talk or to do trades. Fred going to Geneva isn't benefitting Canada, he was supposed to go because Fred wanted protection, a pardon and to start somewhere fresh in exchange for giving up the info on Gilead. That's why in the end, the Canadians figured exchanging Fred for 22 people in Gilead was better than pardoning a war criminal.
