Six seasons in, and wow—Hulu’s dystopian drama wraps up with a bang!
Boston’s free at last, but Gilead’s creepy shadow still hangs over America while June keeps fighting for what matters most.
The Fight’s Not Over Yet
The rebels finally kicked Gilead out of Boston! Commander Lawrence went out with a literal bang, blowing himself up along with Boston’s Gilead bigwigs—including Nick, the father of June’s baby.
Boston can breathe again, but don’t get too comfy—Gilead’s baddies are regrouping elsewhere.
Family Matters
June finally gets to hug baby Nichole when her mom Holly joins the rebellion.
But Hannah’s stuck in Colorado with her “new family” and heading to D.C. soon.
June’s not about to wait around forever, telling Holly, “Fighting may not get us everything, but we may not have a choice.”
Girl’s ready to tear Gilead down for good!
Look Who’s Back!
Emily shows up after being MIA for seasons—turns out she was playing spy in Bridgeport’s resistance!
When they reunite, it hits them both how far they’ve come.
“I’m thinking of adjusting my concept of the impossible,” Emily tells June while checking out victory graffiti all over Boston.
Unlikely Heroes
Plot twist! Aunt Lydia and Naomi actually bring Janine and her daughter Charlotte to safety.
After all that cruelty, Lydia shows she might have a heart after all: “Take good care of our Janine, please.”
June’s forgiveness starts the healing for everyone who made it out of Gilead’s nightmare.
Letting Go
Serena—yeah, June’s former tormentor—is now a refugee with her son Noah.
Before heading to a UN camp, she tearfully says sorry. June’s response?
“You should be,” but she forgives her anyway, adding, “You have to start somewhere, right?”
Moving On
June and Luke split up, accepting they’ve grown into different people. He’s off to fight in New York while she thinks about sharing her story.
“Write it for your daughters,” Holly tells her. “Tell them who their mother was.”
Where It All Started
The series ends right back at the Waterford house. In the ruins, June records her story: “A chair, a table, a lamp.
And a window with white curtains…” Looking straight at us, she says, “My name is Offred,” taking back her story and making sure nobody forgets what Gilead did.
