Is Janine Dead in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4? Madeline Brewer Answers
Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season 4
Are people better off without June Osborne? In season four episode five ‘Chicago’, a Martha tells Nick that he would be, because everybody who helps June ends up dead. That Martha isn’t wrong. The Econo-Husband in season two, the Mackenzies’ Martha and Eleanor Lawrence in season three, the Guardian at the Keyes farm in season four, Alma, Brianna… all died at least partly because of June’s actions. And by the end of ‘Chicago’, we’re left with the possibility that the choice to stick with June has led to yet another casualty: Janine.
When June and Janine are picked up by a group of resistance fighters in war-torn Chicago, June is instantly disenchanted. Steven and his group are scavengers and survivors, not the violent revolutionaries June wants them to be. So June decides to leave and seek out the real resistance – the Nighthawks.
