During another punishment, Offred is freed after Aunt Lydia is told of her pregnancy . When she rejects a meal Aunt Lydia gives her, she is shown a pregnant handmaid, Ofwyatt, chained in a prison room due to her attempt to kill herself with drain cleaner . Offred agrees to eat, and during her meal Aunt Lydia, who had told her that her friends would be punished for their disobedience but her pregnancy would mean that she would be exempted, brings the other handmaids into the room, and one by one they are burned with a gas flame . Later, Offred is at a pregnancy check - up, where she is visited by Fred and Serena, but afterwards finds a key in one of her boots, which she uses to escape to a van parked underneath the hospital .

Mrs. Waterford is alarmed at the possibility of her household being targeted, and is angry at his heavy - handed response to the bombing .

Because so many handmaids were killed at the Rachel and Leah Center during Ofglen's attack, some fertile women are taken back from the Colonies and are made to serve as handmaids once again, including Janine and Emily .

Offred advocates for Janine to be able to see the baby, and Serena agrees to ask about it for the baby's sake . Naomi Putnam dislikes the idea, but she is overruled by her husband, Warren . Serena petitions Fred to allow the sick child to be seen by a Martha who, prior to the Sons of Jacob coup, was one of the nation's top neonatologists . Fred denies the request, saying that whatever happens to the child must now be left to God's will . A dismayed Serena forges Fred's signature to a written order that transfers the Martha to the hospital for a day . Aunt Lydia tells June that she will hold her personally responsible if anything goes wrong with Janine's visit to the hospital . Offred, with true concern, tells Aunt Lydia that she will hold herself responsible too . The neonatologist can find nothing physically wrong with the child, and she advises them to simply unplug the baby from all of the machines and help her to feel safe and warm . When Fred discovers that Serena forged his signature on an order to temporarily transfer the physician / Martha, he beats Serena with his belt as Offred is forced to watch .

Serena punishes Offred by telling her she'll be kicked out of the house as soon as the baby is born . Offred is disturbed to learn that she won't be permitted to nurse and then wean the baby, as is customary, but tries to hide her dismay by agreeing with Serena that they've all had enough of one another . As Serena and Fred are driven through the streets of Toronto, Serena is reminded of what normalcy used to look like in the US . The Waterfords are officially greeted by a contingent of Canadian government officials, with a gay male government official pointedly telling Fred that he used to enjoy visiting the US with "his husband ." Fred then diplomatically attempts to whitewash Gilead's anti-gay stance . An aide hands Serena a schedule of activities that consists of pictures rather than words . Feeling ambivalent about all of the reminders of open society surrounding her in Toronto and embarrassed by her welcome, Serena goes to a bar and orders a glass of wine . She is soon approached by a handsome man named Mark, who reveals he's a spy working for the remnant of the US government in Hawaii . Mark offers to help Serena defect and denounce Gilead and her husband in exchange for her freedom . Serena declines even after Mark offers to arrange fertility treatment so Serena can have a baby of her own . US refugees stand in protest at the entrance to Fred and Serena's hotel . One of the protesters is Luke, who accosts the Waterfords as their limo pulls up . Luke, holding an enlarged, sign - sized photo of himself, June, and their daughter Hannah, accuses Waterford of raping his wife . Serena and Nick are visibly disquieted by the photo . Afterwards, Nick quietly finds Luke at a bar and tells him June is pregnant but safe, and gives him the bundle of letters from handmaids who are enslaved in Gilead . Luke, Moira, and Erin release the letters on the Web, causing a huge public outcry that prompts the Canadians to cancel the summit . At the airport, as the Waterfords are surrounded by more protesters, Moira angrily bangs on the Waterfords' car and holds up a sign that says "My name is Moira ." Fred learns that Moira (who he knew as "Ruby" at Jezebel's) successfully escaped from Gilead . Offred pleads with Rita, and then with Aunt Lydia, to protect the child from the Waterfords after Offred is expelled from the house . Offred is able to extract a somewhat grudging promise to do so from Rita and a tearful promise to do so from Aunt Lydia . Serena burns the Hawaiian tiki bar matches Mark gave her to remind her that a United States still exists beyond the borders of Gilead, with some apparent regret . Meanwhile, Nick gives Offred news of Luke and Moira, which lifts her spirits and reignites her will to fight . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 20 </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> "The Last Ceremony" </Td> <Td> TBA </Td> <Td> TBA </Td> <Td> June 20, 2018 (2018 - 06 - 20) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> No . overall </Th> <Th> No. in season </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Directed by </Th> <Th> Teleplay by </Th> <Th> Original release date </Th> </Tr>
