The next day, the handmaids are encouraged to beat a man to death for allegedly raping a pregnant handmaid and killing her baby.

| A new Martha, Sienna, replaces Cora's position in the Lawrence household. June resolves to search for "allies with power" in order to survive Gilead. The commanders meet at Lawrence's house to discuss the fighting in Chicago including an incoming shipment of female captives. June encounters Nick, who has been promoted to commander, and the two share a tender moment. Lawrence conscripts June to select five Chicago women to serve as Marthas; the remainders will be shipped to the Colonies, which is ultimately a death sentence. While initially unwilling to be complicit in Lawrence's crimes, June eventually chooses five Marthas who would make good recruits for her resistance cell: an engineer, an IT technician, a journalist, a lawyer, and a thief. Meanwhile, a despondent Serena goes to stay with her mother Pamela, who chastises her for losing her child and for not realizing that without Fred, Serena has no place in Gileadean society. | ||||||

Flashbacks throughout the episode show June and Luke's baptism of Hannah by a Christian priest before the hostile takeover by the Sons of Jacob, who now dedicate children, rather than baptize infants. In the present, June learns that Ofmatthew has given birth to three babies. Janine, serving as Ofhoward, pleads with the Putnams to invite her back into the house so that she can produce a sibling for baby Angela. Aunt Lydia furiously beats her in full view of the commanders and the wives until June throws herself between Janine and Aunt Lydia. In shock, Aunt Lydia then apologizes for what happened and privately breaks down in tears. Serena tells June that Hannah is at a school in Brookline, Massachusetts.

| In exchange for a favor from Serena, June agrees to phone Luke to arrange a meeting between the Waterfords and Nichole. Mark Tuello (whom Serena met the last time the Waterfords were in Canada) is in charge of arranging the meeting. Luke agrees to the meeting on the condition that only Serena attend the meeting and not Fred. During their tense meeting at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Serena reassures Luke that June is safe and that both she and June gave up Nichole to give Nichole a better life in Canada. Serena passes Luke a locket for Nichole, as well as a cassette tape she smuggled out of Gilead, containing a recorded message from June, revealing the name she gave to Nichole (Holly) and the baby's biological father (Nick). After unsuccessfully trying to convince Serena to defect for a second time, Mark hides a satellite phone in Serena's purse when she returns to Gilead, so she can contact him if necessary. Serena goes back on her pledge to set baby Nichole free, and wants to bring her back to Gilead. Later, June is picked up by Guardians and forced to participate in a televised broadcast in which the Waterfords state that they are a family mourning the kidnapping of Nichole and urge the Canadian government to return their daughter to Gilead. | ||||||

| The Waterfords, June, Rita and Aunt Lydia travel to Washington, D.C. to stay with the family of High Commander George Winslow and his wife Olivia. The Winslows live in a mansion with six children by different Handmaids, showing the privileges enjoyed by the upper classes. There, they meet with a delegation of Swiss diplomats who are seeking to negotiate between Gilead and Canada and prepare to take part in internationally broadcast mass prayers being held at the former Washington Monument that has now been turned into a giant cross, asking for the return of baby Nichole from Canada. Once there, both June and Aunt Lydia are shocked and appalled at how in Washington, the leadership caste has taken the rules of Gilead to shocking extremes: forcing all handmaids living there to be muzzled at all times in order to cover up metal ring piercings used to permanently keep their mouths closed. Aunt Lydia tells June that even she does not believe that handmaids should be silenced. Commander Winslow suggests to Fred that he may have a position for him in D.C. June reunites with Nick, who as a commander is now prepping military forces for the Chicago frontline against the rebels. June makes a deal with the Swiss to convince Nick to provide information on Gilead's power structure, however they reject talking to Nick upon learning information on war crimes he committed in the early days of the Gilead takeover. June and Serena furiously confront each other inside what used to be the Lincoln Memorial over Serena's change of heart regarding baby Nichole, and Serena reveals to June that Nick was a soldier in the crusade, implying that he was directly involved in the attacks on the White House and the Capitol. Afterwards, the Waterfords force June to lead thousands of handmaids massed along what used to be the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in a televised prayer for Nichole's return. | ||||||

In Canada, Emily and Sylvia meet with one of the Swiss diplomats, who questions Emily about crimes she has been accused of committing in Gilead. Emily acknowledges them but does not regret the actions she took to survive there. Emily and Moira join a group of protesters who confront the Canadian Immigration Minister over his negotiations with Gilead, and they are arrested. Olivia Winslow recommends to Serena that her family move to Washington, D.C., showing her that she could move into the former house of a Baptist family that was executed following the Sons of Jacob takeover. Fred and Serena renew their love for each other while negotiations take place to secure Nichole's return and an extradition treaty with Canada. June convinces housebound Eleanor to accompany her on a visit to Brookline, but the two are not permitted entry into the school. The strain proves to be too much for Eleanor, who becomes hysterical and returns home exhausted. Afterwards, June participates in an execution where Frances and several others are hanged for "endangering a sacred child". June realizes that Ofmatthew was spying on her and reported Frances to Aunt Lydia. June furiously attacks Ofmatthew, but is restrained by her fellow handmaids. | ||||||

| After the execution, Ofmatthew is ostracized by the other handmaids. In a ritual in which handmaids are admonished to "testify" for their sins, June is singled out for being responsible for the death of Frances, which will negatively affect Hannah. June exposes Ofmatthew's doubts about wanting to carry another child to term. In the night, Handmaid Ofandy gives birth to a stillborn girl. Ofmatthew snaps when she is with June at a grocery store and after ferociously beating Janine, grabs a gun from a Guardian and prepares to shoot Aunt Lydia (who addresses Ofmatthew by her real name, Natalie), before another Guardian shoots her and she is taken away, unconscious. When June asks Lawrence about the whereabouts of Hannah and her family, he informs her that he does not know where they have relocated. Flashbacks show Aunt Lydia's past: she was a lonely, judgemental Christian teacher who loved children and befriended a poor barmaid overwhelmed by the responsibility of motherhood. After Lydia is rejected by her school's principal during their first date, she perversely avenges herself on the young woman because she had urged Lydia to be more assertive with men. Seeing that the mother is dating several men, does not attend church and that her child sometimes wears dirty clothes, Lydia reports her to child protective services and her son is placed in a foster home, to the disgust of the principal. | ||||||

June, Eleanor and Lawrence are allowed to enter the bedroom together, while the others wait downstairs. Eleanor becomes loudly hysterical and must be restrained. June convinces Lawrence and Eleanor to go through with the ceremony, citing the fact that Fred would kill not just Lawrence and his wife but also their entire household, as such purges are carried out in Gilead. After the doctor checks June to confirm that the ceremony was successful, June informs Lawrence of her plans to smuggle children out of Gilead and offers to have Lawrence take credit for the rescue so that he and Eleanor can defect to Canada without fear of reprisals for Lawrence's role in the government of Gilead. Serena confronts Fred over allowing Winslow influence in the district, having realized that Winslow has no intention of helping the Waterfords regain Nichole. | ||||||

Putnam and Lawrence discuss the future of Gilead, which Lawrence wants to liberalize with a plan he calls "New Bethlehem", while Putnam insists no such plan will ever happen in Gilead. | ||||||

| Serena's obstetrician invites Serena to dinner though Serena is unsure on whether to accept the invitation. Serena and Mrs. Wheeler get into a verbal argument after Serena expresses a desire to remain a widow rather than remarrying; after insisting on being able to go on a walk, she is then told to go to her room. June and Luke are captured by Commander Wheeler's guard in No Man's Land, located between Gilead and Canada. When Luke tries to resist, he is beaten by these troops. Commander Wheeler informs Serena that June has been captured and Serena pleads to be able to visit No Man's Land to witness her execution, which she believes to be the administration of justice, in light of June murdering Fred. Luke is dumped by Commander Wheeler's troops near the border, while June is taken to meet Ezra and Serena. Serena asks Ezra for the gun to execute June, but Serena instead shoots Ezra and orders June to drive the car while she enters into labor. Back in Gilead, Esther learns that she is pregnant and Lydia wishes to know how, as she doesn’t have a posting. Esther tells her that she was raped by Commander Putnam. After Lydia reports the incident to Commander Lawrence, who states his failure to see the distinction between it and the Ceremony much to Lydia's chagrin, Commander Putnam is arrested on Lawrence and Nick's orders and summarily executed by the latter, in front of Naomi. It is also revealed that Nick’s wife Rose is pregnant. | ||||||

| Serena forces June at gunpoint to drive her through No Man's Land as her contractions increase in frequency. After crashing the car, the two seek refuge in an abandoned barn, where Serena's labor intensifies. Though June attempts to abandon her and leave in the car after Serena lashes out, June pities her and decides to stay, helping her deliver her son, Noah. As the sun begins to set, Serena develops a fever and June insists that they return to Canada. Serena initially refuses, insisting that she does not deserve to live anymore and that she was merely a vessel to deliver Noah to a mother who deserves him, such as June. June, however, does not accept her Gileadean philosophy and convinces Serena to return to Canada and go to the hospital. While Serena is receiving medical attention in the hospital, June uses the phone to call Moira, who sends Luke to pick her up. On their way out, immigration officers, called by Luke, enter the hospital and arrest Serena for entering the country illegally, telling her that she will be detained, and Noah will be placed with child services. Serena cries hysterically and begs June for help. In flashbacks, June attends a fellow handmaid's birth not long after being posted with the Waterfords. The handmaid experiences complications, and her baby is delivered via C-section just before she dies and June along with Janine, Alma, Brianna and the other handmaids are forced by Aunt Lydia to stay in the room and pray. As the mourning handmaids leave the house, June shares a knowing glance with Serena, who is celebrating the birth of the baby with the other Wives. | ||||||

| As anti-refugee sentiment builds in Canada, Luke and June wonder if staying in Canada is the right choice for them. Commander Lawrence establishes his settlement of New Bethlehem on an island, where he says Gileadean refugees will be able to return and live freely as a way of easing diplomatic tensions with the rest of the world. He travels to Toronto, where he offers June the chance to move to New Bethlehem and promises to move Hannah there too after she is married off. While June strongly considers this offer, Luke vehemently rejects it. As June becomes more convinced that she must return to Gilead to save Hannah, a strange envelope arrives in the mail with a DVD with a video of Hannah's Wife school on it. Mark Tuello and the Americans use the video to track Hannah's location and tell June they will conduct a military raid and rescue the girls. Meanwhile, Serena is in immigration detention, where she pumps breast milk to give to the Wheelers to feed Noah, as they are his foster family now. Lawrence tells Serena he can get her out, but only on the condition that she stay with the Wheelers to breastfeed Noah. She calls June, who visits her to tell her that they are not friends and that if she wants out of detention she should move back in with the Wheelers and plot her revenge. Serena is released into the Wheelers' custody, who admonish her for being a bad mother before allowing her to feed Noah. | ||||||

| The military raid on Hannah's school ends in tragedy as the fighter jets are shot down by Gileadean air defense. Lawrence calls June, claiming the incident was in self defense and asks her to join New Bethlehem, but she again refuses and angrily reveals her involvement in the death of Lawrence's late wife Eleanor. In order to receive better intel, Tuello asks June to convince Nick to be a mole for the Canadians within Gilead. Upon their meeting, Nick reveals his desire to improve Gilead's international image beside Lawrence, as well as the pregnancy of his wife Rose, ultimately declining the Canadian offer and professing his continued love for June, who reciprocates. To increase his position of power and protect her from Gileadean law, Lawrence asks Naomi Putnam to become his new wife. Elsewhere, Serena asks Commander Wheeler to use her influence and image with Noah at the reopening of the Gilead Cultural Center in Toronto to persuade Canadians to join Gilead, which he agrees to, much to Mrs. Wheeler's outrage. At the Center, as Serena is about to be sent back home without Noah, she escapes with him in tow after getting help from the Wheelers' Martha. The memorial service for the lost American pilots is disrupted by the continued anti-refugee protests, which suddenly ends in gunfire aimed at June. | ||||||

| June feels uneasy in Canada in the aftermath of the attempt on her life as anti-refugee sentiment increases, but Luke reassures her that they're fine. As she is walking outside, a truck with a Gileadean bumper sticker runs into her before running over her arm. Before the truck can crush her, Luke intervenes and beats the driver severely and June is rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, Nick worries more and more about June's safety, knowing that Gilead will not stop until she is dead. He decides to accept Tuello's offer of being a mole in order to protect June. After visiting June in the hospital, Nick returns to Gilead and punches Lawrence at his wedding, blaming him for the attack. While Nick sits in jail, Rose visits him and says that she knew he still loved June and tells him she is done with him. Janine is told by Aunt Lydia that she will be posted with Commander Lawrence and Naomi. Initially open to the idea of spending more time with her daughter, Janine lashes out at Naomi when she is called "Ofjoseph" by her, telling Naomi that that is not her name and that she hates her. As a result, Janine is later arrested by the Eyes along with a Martha from Lawrence's household who was seen giving Janine information about June's safety. Back in Canada, the driver who attacked June dies as a result of Luke's beating, and Rita informs him that the Toronto police will issue a warrant for his arrest. Luke brushes it off as an overreaction, but June insists that they cannot wait until it is too late to leave, like they did in Boston during the rise of Gilead. They initially plan to fly from Toronto to Honolulu via Anchorage, but Tuello arrives to inform them that the police will be waiting for them at the airport. Instead, he offers them new travel documents and offers them passage on a train bound for Vancouver, from where they can take a boat to Hawaii. While in the queue at the train station, the two see police checking documents. Realizing June and Nichole cannot get to safety with him, Luke stays behind and is arrested while they board the train. While on the train, June hears another baby cry and finds Serena and Noah on the train as well. | ||||||

In its third installment, however, the drama digs even deeper into the emotional toll Gilead has taken on everyone—both those left in what was once the United States and those who've made it out. The lives and dreams that each character lost to this totalitarian regime have been laid out in excruciating detail before—but this week, the show lays those losses bare with more subtlety than perhaps any other episode. ...

On their stroll, they walk past the remains of St. Paul's, a historic cathedral in Boston. Burned and bombed, it resembles the churches of Europe during WWII. June pauses to remember her daughter's baptism, which took place there years prior, and Ofglen notes that Gileadean thugs were also successful in taking down St. Patrick's cathedral in New York City. "They blew it up and dumped every stone in the Hudson River. They erased it." Upon hearing this bit of news, June asks, "How do you know that? And how do you know there's an Eye in my house?"

Finally, one of these guardian angels discreetly escorts him to a local church building, driving home the point of what's at stake for those who attempt to survive and resist from within. This mass-hanging in the belly of a church is more than just the episode's visual centerpiece: it is a wake-up call, underscoring once and for all that Gilead is not a religious movement or a political revolution, it is not something you can reason with or withstand on your own.

Since we last saw the escapee, she made it to Boston, hooked up with some Quakers who had ties to the Femaleroad that helped smuggle handmaids out of the country. She did not make it farther than an office park outside the city. "They shot the guys who helped me", Moira sadly tells Offred, adding that because she was a "corrupting influence", she was interrogated and then given a choice: the colonies or the jezebels.

Offred does not have many cards left to play, and seems to be drifting toward breaking the vow she made to her child at the end of this season's fifth episode, accepting that she will inevitably lose this baby. She is looking for someone to do what she cannot. In a moment alone with Rita, Offred asks her to act as a godparent, telling her, "I want my baby to know kindness. I need her to have someone kind in her life." Rita says she will do what she can, but she is just plain scared. It is not enough. Nobody but June is going to put this baby first.
