At the beginning of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 6, June and Moira survived hiding in the trunk of Joseph’s car, but when they crawled out into the world again, it was clear nothing was as safe as it seemed, not even with Joseph at the wheel.

Despite trusting him so many times before, June isn’t naïve enough to feel cozy in his presence now. And she’s right to hesitate. Joseph is still broken by Eleanor’s death, still shocked by the cruelty he overheard from the other Commanders, including plans to hang him on the wall.

Now isn’t the time for either of them to be second-guessing alliances. If anything, it’s the perfect time to double down and believe in each other’s causes.

Moira thinks June is reckless for sharing their plan with Joseph. But honestly? It felt like a calculated risk.
