The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 Episode 6: Vows Recap
The Handmaid's Tale S4Ep6: Vows Recap- The episode you've all been waiting for... #HandmaidsTale
Episode 6, Vows, follows the adventures of June and Moira, beginning moments after Moira found June wandering in post-bombing Chicago with a head injury at the end of episode 5.

The Handmaid's Tale and Its Film Noir Influences
The Handmaid's Tale & Its Film Noir Influences: We view the guilt, passion, crime, relationships & redemption typical of Film Noirs through many female eyes in this show, an unusual twist that makes for compelling TV. #HandmaidsTale
As The Handmaid’s Tale has shifted away from its season 1 dependence on the original book’s plot line, it’s frequently drawn from the dark, mature themes of the 1940s and 50s films of the Film Noir genre. Nick, June, Fred and Serena in particular tend to be involved in Film Noir plotlines, with an emphasis on mystery, crime, betrayal, murder, loyalty, regret, femmes fatales and sinful excess. In…

The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 Episode 4: Milk Recap
The Handmaid's Tale S4Ep4: Milk Recap- June & Janine hop a train for Chicago & have it out along the way. Rita is summoned to speak to Serena Joy, who wants to continue the relationship they had in Gilead now that she's pregnant. #HandmaidsTale
June and Janine are on the run together in episode 4. They catch a ride west in a refrigerated train car filled with milk, which might be the most Handmaid’s Tale thing ever to happen on this show, other than the next thing that happens- they find a group of fighters in Chicago who call them sex slaves and treat them as such. There’s no rest for the wicked, as Aunt Lydia would undoubtedly…

The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 Episode 7: Home Recap
The Handmaid's Tale S4Ep7: Home Recap- June is granted asylum by Canada, then dives right into her new life, which has a lot in common with her old lives before & in Gilead. She moves in with Luke & Moira and visits Serena. #HandmaidsTale
In episode 7, June is recognized as a citizen of the United States and is accepted by Canada as an official refugee. This should mean that she’s not subject to extradition by Gilead as one of their citizens, but it doesn’t mean they won’t try to assassinate her in Canada or extradite her as an escaped criminal. In the meantime, Mark Tuello and Rachel Tapping put her up at a fancy hotel for the…

The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 Episode 2: Nightshade Recap
The Handmaid's Tale S4Ep2: Nightshade Recap- June visits the local Jezebels & hatches new plans. Serena receives shocking news. Mrs Keyes reveals the secret that saved her marriage. #HandmaidsTale
Episode 2, Nightshade, uses the title as a pun, referring to both the poisonous plant that grows on Mrs Keyes’ farm and the country club version of Jezebels that June visits to make contact with Mayday. It could probably also be used to refer to Nick and his love for hanging back in the shadows, then stepping out into the light at the perfect dramatic moment. This is an episode of transitions,…
