The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Episode 1 Spoilers
‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 4 Episode 1 is called ‘Pigs,’ where things will pick up directly from where they left off in the previous season. June, who is now severely injured, will seek cover at a farm along with other Handmaids. The Waterfords will also find out about June’s latest stunt. As hundreds of children make it out of Gilead’s hook, the powerful regime might decide to go nuclear or resort to silence, fearing that it might cause an uproar in the media and stifle public relations. The disappearance of nearly or more than a hundred children is surely no small feat.
Meanwhile, Lawrence will be imprisoned, and he will desperately try to evade a death sentence. After the last episode of season 3, fans have taken a liking to the old man who, deep down, wants what is good for everyone.
