How "The Handmaid's Tale" ended: the end of story for each character
This feature is for those who didn't get through the series to the end or just want to discuss the ending. Reminder: spoilers ahead!
Gilead's enemies perish — along with those who created them
The finale draws a line under a regime that has been destroying women for decades. After a sham wedding, Serena realizes her husband will never see her as an equal. Liberation by the Americans changes her: she gives June information about a key command flight to Washington — and it becomes the beginning of the end of Gilead. Even Aunt Lydia, one of the main purveyors of the ideology, begins to have an epiphany — and is nearly killed along with June.
Commander Lawrence becomes the latest victim of his own system. On June's advice, he sneaks a bomb onto the plane with the command: Nick, who was unaware of the plan until the end, is among the dead. The death of Lawrence and the commanders triggers chaos and ends the Gilead era.
The finale for June, Serena, Emily, and the others
A liberated Boston is not the finale for June. She breaks up with Luke and decides to search for Hanna on her own. Before that, she has a farewell meeting with Serena at the refugee camp, where they unexpectedly find common ground. June forgives her for the first time — and this is an important step in her personal journey.
Emily returns, having gone into the resistance two seasons ago. The reunion with June is filled with hope, despite the realization that the struggle continues. Moira participates in the symbolic act of burning religious texts with the other former maids.
Who has found hope for the future
Incredibly, Janine survives — and is given a chance to start over. Lydia helps return the infant to widow Naomi, then says goodbye to June in a touching, albeit tense scene. Lydia's fate remains open — it's likely her story will continue in a spin-off.
Final focus on June. She says goodbye to her mother Holly, who takes over the care of her granddaughter. June returns to the old Waterford house and begins to write down her story — exactly what we've been hearing all along. It's not the end, but it's an important step: June finally begins the path to healing.
We could have done it in 10 minutes. 9 episodes are packed, but thank you.
In my opinion, it would be better to write down the fate of each of those characters who have been key or significant since the first season - the same Waterford (and it doesn't matter that he died earlier), Rita, Hannah and others, and accompany each character of the hero with a brief description. Then it was an interesting article, not an amateur retelling of the last episode.
It feels like the gpt chat wrote the article.
In addition, there will be a spin-off starring June's daughters, and even Elisabeth Moss herself is being considered, so it's too early to talk about the end of all lines.
But there is an article, although I no longer remember who is who by name)))
I haven't watched the series for a long time, but I still had a bit of interest in it.
Thanks
and so, in general, it's a great idea to post the endings, because many people leave the series in the middle.
I used to "watch" some TV shows based on the episode descriptions on Wikipedia.
