June is back in D.C. and the Waterfords are stirring up trouble in Canada. In "Unknown Caller," viewers will see June continue to grapple with life as a handmaid under the oppressive Gilead regime. As she returns to the Waterford household in D.C., she tries to keep up her act of subservience while also keeping an eye out for any opportunities to resist.
Meanwhile, back in Canada, the Waterfords are causing a political firestorm. After escaping Gilead and being granted asylum, Fred and Serena are trying to sway public opinion in their favor. They're playing the part of reformed individuals who had a change of heart, painting themselves as victims of circumstance who were caught up in the totalitarian web of Gilead. But not everyone is buying it, particularly when it comes to the charges of war crimes against Serena for her role in Gilead's mass-scale oppression of women.
In "Unknown Caller," viewers will also see more of June's interactions with her fellow handmaids and members of the resistance. Her new friends and allies seem to be just as dedicated to fighting against Gilead's oppressive regime as she is, but she's also wary of putting too much trust in anyone. In a world where betrayal can mean torture, death, or worse, June is constantly juggling her desire for connection and community with her need to stay safe.
As always, "Unknown Caller" promises to be another emotionally charged episode that explores the complexities of life under Gilead's totalitarian rule. Fans of the show will undoubtedly be on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what happens next in this gripping, dystopian world.
