More about Episode 7 and the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale

As Season 6 continues to air weekly, The Handmaid’s Tale brings out a world where the penalties of past actions weigh in heavily on each and every character.

In Episode 6, the resistance led by June, Luke, and Moira reached a serious point, and the consequence of their intrusion into Jezebel remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, Serena’s personal associations continue to grow as she becomes further entwined with Commander Wharton. This last season is fixated on the downfall —or change —of Gilead from several fronts. According to Hulu,

“This final chapter of June’s journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.”

The show’s larger narrative remains dedicated to looking through moral intricacy in an authoritarian regime where every choice has irreparable consequences.

With a total of ten episodes, the sixth season of The Handmaid’s Tale is making full use of its runtime with intended purpose. With only a few episodes left, Episode 7 is the central one in terms of setting up the stage for an impactful end to the series.
