Why only post Bradley Whitford’s backstage ending & not Max’s?

MAX HAS DONE A RACHEL AND GOT OFF THE PLANE!

& I will NOT think otherwise until I see A BODY!

The writers are handling Nick and Luke very differently, and it speaks volumes about where each relationship stands in the narrative.

With Nick and June, the writers are deliberately putting their bond through fire. They’re pulling back every layer, exposing contradictions, moral gray zones, unspoken pain—and in doing so, they’re testing whether their love can survive under full exposure. This feels like the work of narrative investment: characters who are going through something in order to come out the other side. The conflict isn’t meant to destroy them—it’s meant to force truth, to challenge idealism, and, if they survive it, to solidify something real. Ripping the covers off, and if it survives, build on the truth.

With Luke and June, it’s the opposite. The writers aren’t digging into emotional complexity—they’re letting it unravel. Their conversations feel like emotional stalemates: stuck in past grievances, pity, and obligation. June is holding space for Luke, trying not to hurt him—but she’s not with him emotionally. Their scenes often revolve around guilt, unresolved grief, or sidestepping the harder truths. It’s not about working through anything together—it’s about slowly realizing there’s nothing left to work through.

That contrast is intentional. One relationship is being exposed, tested, and possibly renewed. The other is being allowed to dissolve.

That’s storytelling. Not symmetry. Not balance. But intention.

I still think the tables will turn with Nick and June.

I can’t believe they would end a love story as EPIC as theirs and is THEE storyline that MOST fans are fixated on throughout the entire show…..

Just. Like. That.

Nick snitching on the Jezebel’s massacre, is no different to June telling the Lieutenant where the Handmaids were in S4 Ep3 when they threatened Hannah 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are your speculations for S6? Merry Christmas.

Hey! Thank you! Happy New Year, friends!

Hmm, alright, we'll take a gander. Guesses listed by character. June and Nick at the top, everyone else under the cut for length reasons.

June:

She and Holly will not make it to Hawaii. The train may be intercepted before reaching Vancouver or the ship is attacked after leaving port, we're not entirely sure. But whatever happens, Hawaii isn't happening.

She and Serena will briefly work together to survive.

They will part ways amicably as Serena returns to Gilead and June goes into hiding, assisted by Mark Tuello at the behest of Nick. June won't know of any of this as Mark keeps Nick's secret, though he may feel conflicted about doing so.

June will head to the wilds of California and connect with Mayday there. She will get into contact with Nick and Joseph.

June will make her way to New Bethlehem where she meets up with Nick. Luke will also be there. Long awkward looks ensue.

June will be in grave danger again and forced to go underground. She and Nick choose to send Holly away, and the scene is devastating.

June will not choose between Nick or Luke, and we won't have much of an idea as to what her final choice will be.

Nick:

He's released from prison, mentally scarred but physically ok. His release will be facilitated by Joseph, who makes a cryptic reference to Eleanor being the reason he's doing this.

He'll continue to be involved with the New Bethlehem idea. This involvement helps him to feed information to Tuello.

He and Teullo will meet again. The scene will be thick with layers.

He'll have to negotiate the very tricky grounds where he's working for/with Tuello, Mayday, Joseph and June, while being suspected by Rose's father and Commander Mackenzie.

Tension will be thick between him and Rose, and she will be evidently angry at him while Nick will clearly feel guilt about hurting her.

The baby will die and possibly Rose as well, leaving Nick deeply traumatised and at a loss as to what to do.

Nick (and possibly Rose if she's alive) will go to New Bethlehem.

At one point he will be reunited with June and Holly.

Nick will go underground because his cover is blown. He will become fully involved with Mayday.

Nick and June will painfully make the choice together to send Holly to live with Mayday people in Canada, and have a heartbreaking goodbye. She will call Nick 'dada' or 'papa' and everyone will cry.

There will be no note of finality in his and June's relationship and we won't know if they're together or not, but there will be enough evidence to support plenty of headcanons of them being together.

Rose:

She will temporarily move back in with her parents before returning to Nick's, under the guise of reconciliation but in actuality it will be to keep an eye on him, possibly as directed by Commander Mackenzie and/or her father.

She'll spy on Nick, eventually figuring out what he's up to with Tuello. She'll hold onto that information as she ponders what to do with it.

The baby will die, and she possibly will too after being denied proper medical care.

If she doesn't die, she'll go with Nick to New Bethlehem and cause problems, ultimately forcing Nick to go underground.

She'll continue to be a shallow character and we'll never know why Nick married her or how she's coping with her disability in Gilead.

Joseph:

He will help Nick. He will do it for Eleanor. Their relationship will be fractured and difficult, but both know they don't have any reliable allies in Gilead except for each other and so they will continue to work together.

He will continue to get more involved with the New Bethlehem idea, though he'll be more thoughtful about it as Nick punching him in the face knocked some sense into him.

He will have to deal with Naomi and then later Serena as the pressure mounts for him and his life will be in peril.

He will be taken out by the very Gilead believers he thought he was manipulating, perhaps in order to save Nick or June.

Janine:

The van will take her and the Martha to a safe house.

She'll become more involved in the Martha network and will work closely with Aunt Lydia.

She'll find out about Caleb's death and will be devastated.

Mark Tuello:

He'll continue to work with Nick. He'll be the only true emotional support that Nick has and Mark will appear sad at the difficulties of Nick's life.

He'll keep June safe like Nick demanded, but it won't be easy as June never makes anything easy.

He'll continue to keep Nick's involvement and sad feelings a secret from June, but he will be heavily conflicted about it. He may eventually end up telling June at least partial facts about what Nick is up to and/or feeling.

He'll make irresponsible choices where he means well but just doesn't understand reality.

One of those choices will put Nick in danger.

Luke:

He'll be in prison for some time, because Canada is evil now or something.

He'll be convicted of a serious crime, purely based on the fact that he stupidly took and kept the weapon of the attacker.

He'll get out of prison miraculously (perhaps because Mark Tuello has miracle powers and gets the gov't of Canada to do what he wants) and immediately search for June and Holly.

He will grieve the loss of Hannah but won't take her situation seriously enough and continues to show a lack of understanding Gilead.

He will show more of an effort at resistance than he ever has before.

Luke will reunite with June somehow, possibly in New Bethlehem. Nick will hang heavily between them, but any conversation, if it occurs, will be far too brief.

There will be no note of finality in his and June's marriage, but their parting will be hinted to be a very long one and the differences between them will be evident.

All of Canada will hate him for killing one of them and will be even more ridiculously evil than last season. Luke will have to hide because of it.

He'll get more involved in Canadian Mayday.

Moira:

She'll focus very heavily on getting Luke out of prison and will rail against the injustice against refugees who are suddenly and randomly being treated terribly b/c "Canada Evil" or something now.

She'll continue to focus on moving on and healing.

She'll get involved in a relationship with Lily and will works loosely with her Mayday group.

Moira will be neglected and lack proper screen time.

Rita:

She'll work with Moira in trying to get Luke out of prison.

She'll continue to focus on moving on and healing.

She'll take care of Holly a lot, but this will be off-screen.

Rita will be severely neglected and substantially lack proper screen time.

Aunt Lydia:

She'll finally become fully enmeshed in the resistance and will start to gather information on Gilead's elite.

She'll help Esther escape to safety on the behest of Janine who is completely done playing nice with anyone anymore.

She'll work closely with Joseph and Janine, and will have loose associations with Nick.

Esther:

She'll escape and be safe.

She'll either lose the pregnancy or get an abortion.

We'll see her in school or reading, looking peaceful in a way we haven't seen her before.

Serena:

She'll cry again and act like a victim.

She and June will briefly work together after they fail to reach Hawaii but will ultimately part amicably as they have different ideas of what they want to do to change things.

She'll go back to Gilead and work in New Bethlehem, trying to get it as close to her original ideas as possible. During this, she, Joseph, and Naomi will dance around each other in a game of cat and mouse. Serena will win.

She'll have some sort of "redemption", ignoring all the horrible things she's done.

She'll take up far too much screen time.

Others/Miscellaneous:

Hannah will be featured again and we'll get a grasp of her life as a child in Gilead, including her relationship with the Mackenzies, more time at wife school, and possible ties to Rose.

Commander Mackenzie will be extremely creepy and dangerous, and will be the driving force behind Nick ultimately defecting. He may be the reason that Rose returns home as another way of him getting at June, this time through Nick.

We'll meet Rose's father, Commander Wharton. He will also be extremely dangerous and will be very angry at Nick and June for hurting Rose. He will put them both in danger.

Naomi will be cutting and calculated, and will be a lot more dangerous than Joseph bargained for.

Charlotte will be cute and sweet, and will have a nice moment with Joseph that makes him reflect on life in Gilead.

We'll get flashbacks for June and Joseph. We won't get one for Nick, but we'll learn a little more about his early life in Gilead and possibly about his family.
