The third season of the Hulu show marked a huge turning point. The plot plodded along for a majority of the season, slowly setting the stage for a grand finale.

June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) works with Marthas, Handmaids, and Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) to help dozens of children escape Gilead. She chooses to stay behind, and while distracting a Guardian so the children can escape she is shot.

Rita (Amanda Brugel), a few other Marthas, and the children make it to Canada and reunite with Luke (O. T. Fagbenle), Moira (Samira Wiley), and Emily (Alexis Bledel).

Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) is arrested despite her attempts to live freely in Canada after having her husband Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) arrested.
