STAYING “HOME”
Season 3 episode 1
June never asked to be in Gilead. She was abducted, thrown into slavery, and expected to fall pregnant (by compliance or force) to build up the population. So, you’d think she’d run at her first chance. But no. Instead, she chooses to stay in Gilead, a place that hates women and will discard the fertile female as soon as she’s no longer able to meet her duty. It’s a terrible choice, but she decides to stay in order to save her daughter Hannah (Jordana Blake), who was ripped from her arms when Gilead came into being and is being raised by strangers to be a Housewife.
