This (as well as the episode before it) mark the beginning and end of a harrowing new chapter in June's life. I love that she stays rebellious, yet at the same time, has to give in when it's time. And when she gets to where she thinks she wants to be, she's met with some troubling similarities to what she fought against all along.... and realizes the journey, the search, must continue... even though her friend seems to think differently. I enjoyed the flashbacks in this episode, with the abortion clinic... definitely must have been inspired by that documentary about the fake Christian abortion clinics that lie to women to keep them pregnant... being pro-life but only for while the woman is pregnant, then abandoning her after lying to her. That really captured me, showing the seeds of a repressive, horrible regime they call Gillead where their false beliefs are simply ratcheted up a notch to brutal enforcement.
Great episode, one to remember. Who ever thought of the milk thing? Brilliant. Literally never done before in any media I've consumed and pretty original... I'm sure there's some hidden meaning there... what I have not figured out quite yet.
But yeah... great acting, a real reset of all the characters, where they are. Big things happened. A huge shift in the story. Worth your time.
