Yes yes yes, Elisabeth Moss is great, but let me tell you that Yvonne Strahovski had to play one of the most complex, darkest, layered monsters in TV history and she did it beautifully and deserves so much more credit than what she usually gets.
Her performance is as good as Moss', she definitely deserves more credit. But she's a villain character, and sadly that's the way the cookie crumbles lol
I'd say she (YS) is the better actress. EM has pretty much done the same couple of tricks every season, YS has had to portray a wide range of emotions. She's by far the better actress IMO.
Notice how June was wearing green blue wife colors, and her hair in a bun like a wife as well, perfectly mirroring the situation where the power was Serena's.
So satisfying to watch her yell at Serena "Do you understand me?" the same exact way Serena did to her but ten times more terrifying!!! That's exactly what she deserves!
"theres nobody less worthy of redemption than you" ....my god , I love how she says it and you can feel her anger growing and if you also keep in mind that Serena is acting like this cause she doesnt want to stay in prison, she wansts to have the perfect life she has always dreamed of...like she has done nothing to other women
Her seeking "redemption" is only a means to serve for her hoped-for freedom. The woman is blindingly selfish and self-serving in any and every capacity. I still think she's in complete denial of who she is and what she's done, especially with her prison being so damn cushy and nice.
@@foreverhungry7777 Exactly Michelle! If only she was forced to live like regular inmates having to ask permission to use the bathroom and getting served slop for a daily meal. Funny how up to now she put on this facade of answering to a higher power and not fearing any punishment delivered by mankind but soon as she is made to face the consequences of her actions that facade dissipates.
yeah, after everything she is been trough, yeah they have ruined her mental health but they couldnt break her spirit , for me this scene is like June reclaiming her life, many people have no chance to confront their abusers
she didn’t have to save those children, or those martha’s, but she did, for the greater good. she was literally reluctant to come to canada bedause she wanted to stay in gilead
I just LOVE how Fred and Serena are the typical villains. They acted tough when they were in charge and now that they are no longer in charge they are hiding behind God and their child and using both to beg for mercy of people they tortured. I CAN'T WAIT for them to take Serena's child away so that she finds out how it felt.
Yes! They take absolutely no responsibility for their vicious and malicious (both physical and psychologically) actions. I’m sure they’re frightened, angry, and disoriented by their change in status but even if they felt genuine remorse it wouldn’t be enough to equal justice.
Honestly just take the child away and never let her see him again would be ideal, the child wouldn't even know what a devil his mother was and that would probably break her too, which + 100 points
@@VinyZikss Nah..her delivering a stillborn child and then carted back to Gilead to be part of the Magdalene Colony; freed to only to bear a child then sent back into service would be a much more fulfilling end to this WORM-man

As far as the “message” your taking about I think it’s too early to interpret exactly what her message is, you interpret it was petty revenge, I see it as a woman who’s been through hell and has some ptsd and in that moment had a cathartic release of emotion which was the same verbal abuse she had received from Serena and she reciprocated back some of her same medicine.

The AUDACITY that Serena had to say to June “ I know the lord brought you here so I can gain redemption” IM LIKE BITCH HOW DARE YOU, June crawled through hell and back to get there and I’m sure she HAD to know that it would be so difficult to get out of gilead. THE AUDACITY
There are actually people irl who think that way. They grovel and beg for forgiveness and think it’s owed to them just because They think their god would want that. God is a vengeful and petty god, people conveniently forget that little fact when it’s them suffering from their own consequences....
I love the costume choices in this scene, serena is wearing very pale light clothes like a lower class person in Gilead, June is wearing dark colours signifying she is in control now like the commanders were.
This scene is the epitome of script writing but that delivery is TOP TIER. This show has been one of the greatest opportunities to get a glimpse of what a dystopian society looks like. The scary part is that we see hints of that in our world today. My name is Daniel and I am not a TV show critic.
"This scene is the epitome of script writing" Sure, if you compare with really bad soap operas. This is bordering on embarrassing and the script writers really don't know what to do anymore so they just go for raw, unfiltered emotions from bitter and angry people who in reality really should be past that by this point. "This show has been one of the greatest opportunities to get a glimpse of what a dystopian society looks like." Please tell me you're joking. "The scary part is that we see hints of that in our world today. " Listen, not even Sharia law countries are like this. Their oppression and sexism is a lot more subtle, indirect and hidden. This writing has all the subtle qualities of a sledgehammer to your shoulder. I think you're fooling around.
@@reneearnoux5910 "who in reality really should be past that by this point" ah yes, the good ol' "get over it" in response to ptsd. You must be a delightful "person".
@@reneearnoux5910 I am kurdish and my people and other natives from my land have suffered from ISIS being captured, raped sold as a sex slave. This IS the reality of so many people and it’s heartbreaking don’t undermine this as a fiction
Can you believe how much of a narcissist Serena has to be to tell June that God brought her to Canada so that she could make amends? This line is shocking and infuriating because how self-centered do you have to be to believe that a woman escaping hell is about you ? I wish June had pointed this out
@@jackcoleman1784 I loved when June told Serena she would always be empty, which is exactly what being a narcissist is. Always using others to try to fill that hole. I forget which episode.
When Serena was saying that God brought June to her for redemption, I wish June would've replied, "Read the Bible. Our God is a vengeful one. If he did bring me here, its not to redeem you. I'm here to punish you...and I'm far from done."
Nah.. what June did was far, far, far more psychologically damning. She took Serena's faith in G-d and turned into a gaslighted prophecy; reducing Serena to a fearful sinner and June as a Prophetess more fierce than both Deborah and Ya'el combined; driving it home that G-d has come to take your firstborn son as payment! And you're right.. June ain't done.. she just sharpened the knife. By telling Serena that it was G-d's plan to finally allow Serena to become pregnant only to kill the child in retribution is brilliant twisting of this "we're the children of the lord" bullshit. On some level, it was great.. but I couldn't help but think there were elements of Aunt Lydia in there.
"I'm here to do the lord's work..now that your cup is full of iniquity and reprobation, I WILL be your judge, jury and executioner.. the lord is just, bitch"
Serena's reaction at 1:35 fills me with rage, the huffy sigh, the pouty face, and the half-assed "I'm sorry". Like she honestly thought June would forgive her and she has the audacity to be surprised. I'm glad June put some fear back into her
The way that June knocks on the cell door to let herself out after this was the best part of the whole scene. Knocking so politely after delivering one the most devastating monologues in the entire show as if this was just a random Tuesday afternoon for her
June was lowkey scary and I’d probably be traumatized for life if I were Serena, but dammit did I cheer June on. Also, what genius kind of acting. Elisabeth and Yvonne are serving and giving us everything we needed this season!!!
"You took away my father, drove my sister away, left me to be tortured, striped, and beaten publicly, had my mother and brother slaughtered, forced me to marry the enemy, killed my friend and her family with wildfire, and raised the worst king in the history of our kingdom. You took everything from me! Do you know why the gods made you pregnant, so when they kill the child inside of you, you know a fraction of the pain I felt when you ripped my life away from me! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!?!" Sorry that was the best I could become up with on the fly
Serena is not far different from Cersei Both are women who let themselves guide through her emotions like grief and trauma.Both have the love for their children as the only sign of humanity that still remains What makes so interesting these 2 characters is the fact that if things could have gone in such a different way,they could be even heroes Instead they are monsters who are slaves of her negative emotions Such a sadly reality
Cersei taught Sansa everything she knows about politics. I see the analogy, but their relationship is pretty different from June and Serena’s. I find Cersei way more intriguing than Serena.
@@pharoah125 Imo its the opposite for me.Cersei didnt teach Sansa about politics,she was just teachimg Sansa how to be a damsel and the mannerisms Cersei only wnared to manipulate Sansa to make her the dog of Joffrey The relationship with Serena was quite different too.Both were empowered and clever woman,but they were enemies June and Serena and how tgey try to manipulate each other is far beyond great from Cersei manipulating Sansa to get the purpose of control Winterfell for the Lannister marrying her with Joffrey
I love that June doesn't give a shit about not sinking to their level. She's down for whatever gets the job done. She even says it. To beat them, you had to become one of them. Oof. Ice cold.
It gave me huge goosebumps and tears.. The dialogues were so satisfying.... finally she spoke .... And this is a perfect example that life is a circle.....it always come back to you.. what you sow and what you do...
Absolutely love this scene. Both actresses are so amazing I've never wanted a character to suffer more in my life then I do Serena the actress is absolutely 💯 amazing and Elisabeth moss good lord pure talent.
The acting in this series is on another level - all of them play their part so well. Elizabeth and Yvonne are just outstanding - never have I seen such convincing acting.
1:23 Moss's wonderful delivery here reminds me of the way Harlan Ellison(RIP) voiced AM in the audiobook for I Have No Mouth. That same vengful hatred, that emphasis on "you", Ellison would either be delighted for it, or accuse someone of stealing his idea. I can't stop playing it.
@@karinavargas1657 Sigh. Why? That IS what acting is all about. Conveying convincing emotions irregardless of what you really think of that person you know in person or what you think of the character you're playing. I swear to God there's a myriad of incredibly stupid comments here.
@@reneearnoux5910 lmao what? Chill it's not that serious. I don't see how anything she said is wrong, when you like someone it's hard to act like you actually hate them. Yeah this is what acting is all about so? She was just pointing out that it must be hard. Work on your anger issues and get off the internet
The culmination and release of emotions expressed in this magnificent scene gave me goosebumps! As soon as I watched this scene I had to rewind and watch it again. Such an amazing delivery from Moss!!! I can see this scene being played during the Emmys right before she wins.
I have seen this over and over again. Elizabeth Moss (all the actors are great + the writers etc) - but June, oh man, I love June. This right here, I felt in my bones
I don't think she can become a handmaid just by now showing her fertility. Remember that the original handmaids were made so for two reasons, they were fertile and had done "Impure" things pre Gilead that then made them undeserving of even being an econo-wife. I'm guessing she'd either remain a wife or if her and Fred get demoted, then an econo-wife.
@@susannahmanton4904 The handmaids will last, there will be another generation (although the writers of the show and the books didn't say anything about how someone will become a handmaid in future), so they obviously can't make someone a handmaid just due to pre-gilead sins, but to all sins. If Serena ever come back to Gilead, she won't be wife anymore, because she betrayed Fred. I'm sure that Gilead knows what exactly led to Fred's arresting - it was naive Serena thinking that she would be safe thanks to playing the victim card. Then they arrested her too, because obviously she fucked over Fred so he did the same - so to Gilead it surely won't matter that she was also a 'prisoner' in Canada, because the whole situation was all her doing. She betrayed Fred which means she betrayed Gilead and as we know, Gilead shows no mercy to betrayers. If Fred and Serena really come back to Gilead at some point, I really doubt that Fred will protect her in any way so she won't escape her punishment for these crimes against Fred. Also, they lost a lot of handmaids lately, so they can't waste any fertile women by sending them to colonies, which now includes Serena too. I think that for Gilead, Serena becoming a handmaid would be a perfect solution for her case.
As much as I love this scene, it's still not enough (As in Punishment for Serena and closure for June). I hope Serena get whats coming to her in the end.
@@gc0009 the first book ends the same way season 1 did and the second book is about Nicole all grown up. So everything that’s happened to Serena and Fred from season 2 onwards has been the show, nothing from the book!
R Ld YOU dated him, was with him and spent a lot of time together with him. Nobody forced you. If he is worthless, that only means you have worthless assessment abilities of men. Had you been smart and knowledgeable you'd leave him long ago. Alas you're one of those:"I loved him for a long time, but after our relationship ended I went all bitter and now I'm going to scapegoat him for everything, even though if all I'm saying is true actually makes ME look really stupid for even being in relationship with him *in the first place* Bet your ex-boyfriend is a lot happier now when he's rid of you then you clearly are now.
This scene was so good, I could almost taste it. Getting physical with her wouldn't even be worth it. June's words to her packed a harder punch than any fist ever could have. To let her know her actions will never be forgiven and that she will live a shameful miserable life. That's good enough for me. In order for her to genuinely understand the pain she's caused, she needs to feel June's wrath and just imagine how it would feel for her baby to die or get forcibly ripped away from her.
No Serena needs to have her child taken and kept in Canada then be sent back to Gilead to become a handmaid now that she can get pregnant. That would be the ultimate karma.
@@AFCompany Yeah, but that would sadly mean the handmaid thing would go on, which would suck for women who do not deserve it like she does. Gilead needs to go. Jail time would be perfect for her, or, well, just killing her off.
I'd actually prefer for her to have a taste of her own medicine, but thank you for pointing out how ridiculously comfortable their cells look. You call that a jail? Why would they need extra comfort or any connection to the outside world after all they've done? Why are they getting a preferential treatment?
OMG! The emotion in this scene...you could literally feel the anger pouring out of the tv! I was physically shaking feeling all of that anger right along with her!
Damn. Has to be one of the most satisfying scenes ever. For this scene alone Elizabeth deserves an emmy. I got chills when she said "Do you understand Me"
After watching that scene where Serena drives to that house to see June's daughter and June's trapped in the car unable to do anything this is satisfying AF
@@iamsherlocked345 It showed her desperation, obessed with the idea to have a child, knowing she would never truely have that (because she wouldnt be the mother)
This scene goes back to that moment in season 1 episode 3 when Serena got mad that June wasn’t pregnant and yelled at her in the same way June is doing now instead junes is true rage. Loved it!
Let's hope that what June said to Serena will come true! Miscarriages and babies who die at birth are not uncommon. Even if the baby will not die, someone is going to have to take Serena's baby away from her to where she will never have the privilege of becoming a mother.
Brava! I love the reverse symbolism of June and Serena's clothes! How the tables have turned- the Queen kneels before the servant! That's so beautiful! Goddess power baby!
Yes yes yes, Elisabeth Moss is great, but let me tell you that Yvonne Strahovski had to play one of the most complex, darkest, layered monsters in TV history and she did it beautifully and deserves so much more credit than what she usually gets.

There are actually people irl who think that way. They grovel and beg for forgiveness and think it’s owed to them just because They think their god would want that. God is a vengeful and petty god, people conveniently forget that little fact when it’s them suffering from their own consequences....
Lol the fact that she's there at all just makes June even more pissed off. Don't forget that June did not want to leave.
I know I know it’s TV each time Serena start mentioning the higher power I just want to ball my fist.
I love the costume choices in this scene, serena is wearing very pale light clothes like a lower class person in Gilead, June is wearing dark colours signifying she is in control now like the commanders were.
This show is just absolutely brilliant and the execution is just sublime! I love all the details they do for those who are willing to look for them!
YES!!!! AGREE.
@@tacomistress THE BEST SHOW EVER. HANDMAIDS TALE ALL THE WAY.
This scene is the epitome of script writing but that delivery is TOP TIER. This show has been one of the greatest opportunities to get a glimpse of what a dystopian society looks like. The scary part is that we see hints of that in our world today. My name is Daniel and I am not a TV show critic.
"This scene is the epitome of script writing" Sure, if you compare with really bad soap operas. This is bordering on embarrassing and the script writers really don't know what to do anymore so they just go for raw, unfiltered emotions from bitter and angry people who in reality really should be past that by this point.
"This show has been one of the greatest opportunities to get a glimpse of what a dystopian society looks like." Please tell me you're joking.
"The scary part is that we see hints of that in our world today. " Listen, not even Sharia law countries are like this. Their oppression and sexism is a lot more subtle, indirect and hidden. This writing has all the subtle qualities of a sledgehammer to your shoulder.
I think you're fooling around.
@@reneearnoux5910 "who in reality really should be past that by this point" ah yes, the good ol' "get over it" in response to ptsd. You must be a delightful "person".
@@reneearnoux5910 I am kurdish and my people and other natives from my land have suffered from ISIS being captured, raped sold as a sex slave. This IS the reality of so many people and it’s heartbreaking don’t undermine this as a fiction
@@reneearnoux5910 I think you're trolling. But if not, then your analysis went beyond the border of embarrassing.
If you don’t like it why are you here watching clips from the show?
“Don’t get upset, Serena. It’s bad for the baby”
😂
June was the one who was upset though 😅
@@casie6609 June was angry, Serena was upset.
Can you believe how much of a narcissist Serena has to be to tell June that God brought her to Canada so that she could make amends?
This line is shocking and infuriating because how self-centered do you have to be to believe that a woman escaping hell is about you ?
I wish June had pointed this out
You can't point anything out to narcissists. Just my experience. You can only deny them satisfaction. Which is exactly what she did.
@@jackcoleman1784 I loved when June told Serena she would always be empty, which is exactly what being a narcissist is. Always using others to try to fill that hole. I forget which episode.
"Do you understand me!!"
It's like when Serena screamed at June in the floor.
Which episode?
@@Jaims-nk4zz season 1
When Serena was saying that God brought June to her for redemption, I wish June would've replied, "Read the Bible. Our God is a vengeful one. If he did bring me here, its not to redeem you. I'm here to punish you...and I'm far from done."
Nah.. what June did was far, far, far more psychologically damning. She took Serena's faith in G-d and turned into a gaslighted prophecy; reducing Serena to a fearful sinner and June as a Prophetess more fierce than both Deborah and Ya'el combined; driving it home that G-d has come to take your firstborn son as payment! And you're right.. June ain't done.. she just sharpened the knife. By telling Serena that it was G-d's plan to finally allow Serena to become pregnant only to kill the child in retribution is brilliant twisting of this "we're the children of the lord" bullshit. On some level, it was great.. but I couldn't help but think there were elements of Aunt Lydia in there.
@@creativewriter3887 June is a great manipulator... and she’s spent years with Aunt Lydia. I think she leaned a thing or two from her
oh my god yeesssssssssssssssssssssss
I heard that they filmed multiple versions of this scene so who knows, there might be one of those too!
"I'm here to do the lord's work..now that your cup is full of iniquity and reprobation, I WILL be your judge, jury and executioner.. the lord is just, bitch"
Serena's reaction at 1:35 fills me with rage, the huffy sigh, the pouty face, and the half-assed "I'm sorry". Like she honestly thought June would forgive her and she has the audacity to be surprised. I'm glad June put some fear back into her
The way that June knocks on the cell door to let herself out after this was the best part of the whole scene. Knocking so politely after delivering one the most devastating monologues in the entire show as if this was just a random Tuesday afternoon for her
She had to compartmentalize and hide her every emotion for years. Probably how she could gain her composure so quickly when leaving.
June was lowkey scary and I’d probably be traumatized for life if I were Serena, but dammit did I cheer June on. Also, what genius kind of acting. Elisabeth and Yvonne are serving and giving us everything we needed this season!!!
I love the way the camera shifts perspective as Serena kneels down. This show has both amazing acting and very nice cinematography!
If only could Sansa scream like this at Cersei... My GoT heart would be healed.
"You took away my father, drove my sister away, left me to be tortured, striped, and beaten publicly, had my mother and brother slaughtered, forced me to marry the enemy, killed my friend and her family with wildfire, and raised the worst king in the history of our kingdom. You took everything from me! Do you know why the gods made you pregnant, so when they kill the child inside of you, you know a fraction of the pain I felt when you ripped my life away from me! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!?!"
Sorry that was the best I could become up with on the fly
@@l.tc.5032 Don't forget her wolf, Lady.
Serena is not far different from Cersei
Both are women who let themselves guide through her emotions like grief and trauma.Both have the love for their children as the only sign of humanity that still remains
What makes so interesting these 2 characters is the fact that if things could have gone in such a different way,they could be even heroes
Instead they are monsters who are slaves of her negative emotions
Such a sadly reality
Cersei taught Sansa everything she knows about politics. I see the analogy, but their relationship is pretty different from June and Serena’s. I find Cersei way more intriguing than Serena.
@@pharoah125 Imo its the opposite for me.Cersei didnt teach Sansa about politics,she was just teachimg Sansa how to be a damsel and the mannerisms
Cersei only wnared to manipulate Sansa to make her the dog of Joffrey
The relationship with Serena was quite different too.Both were empowered and clever woman,but they were enemies
June and Serena and how tgey try to manipulate each other is far beyond great from Cersei manipulating Sansa to get the purpose of control Winterfell for the Lannister marrying her with Joffrey
Serena: "I prayed for this chance."
June: "You may come to regret that..."
One of the most satisfying scenes in the entire series, and an absolutely amazing acting moment from Elisabeth Moss.
I love that June doesn't give a shit about not sinking to their level. She's down for whatever gets the job done. She even says it. To beat them, you had to become one of them. Oof. Ice cold.
June is not only screaming here..she is roaring..you feel it in your bones..
I love Tuello left them alone, even though he knew it was gonna go down. 😂
It gave me huge goosebumps and tears..
The dialogues were so satisfying.... finally she spoke ....
And this is a perfect example that life is a circle.....it always come back to you.. what you sow and what you do...
She deserves an award for this scean alone
Absolutely love this scene. Both actresses are so amazing I've never wanted a character to suffer more in my life then I do Serena the actress is absolutely 💯 amazing and Elisabeth moss good lord pure talent.
I still think this is by far the BEST scene on the show. They both did terrific here
The perfect parallel to Serena screaming “Do you understand me” to June
The acting in this series is on another level - all of them play their part so well. Elizabeth and Yvonne are just outstanding - never have I seen such convincing acting.
I know Serena Joy is the antagonist but she's my favourite character. So complex and Yvonne Strahovski plays her marvelously!!
Yes she's so multi layered
Agreed. Women are so much more interesting as villains than men
This scene was chilling. Gonna go down as one of the top scenes from the show for sure.
1:23 Moss's wonderful delivery here reminds me of the way Harlan Ellison(RIP) voiced AM in the audiobook for I Have No Mouth. That same vengful hatred, that emphasis on "you", Ellison would either be delighted for it, or accuse someone of stealing his idea. I can't stop playing it.
This is one of the most powerful and satisfying pieces of acting I have ever seen.
You can feel the contempt in her voice. Moss’ acting is sooooo fucking good
Elizabeths acting is on an entirely different level. Shes a beast
Best three minutes of my life. Like shaking a soda can and watching it explode in someone's face.
One of the most powerful scenes ever, Elisabeth Moss is amazing
Incredible actresses!!!!!!
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this scene, It always gives me goosebumps. Elizabeth Moss is a phenomenal actress!!
both of them are amazing!!! their intensity is unparalled!!!
Impressive acting for a series.....
This series has always been off the chart for its acting, its really good and consistent
Do people really still think you can only get great acting in movies? Some of the best performances I've seen have been from shows.
@@AdzPower i totally agree with you ,a lot of people undermine tv shows, but for me i have seen great performances by actors and actresses on tv .
@@AdzPower you are so right
Yvonne Strahovski destroy Moss.
What’s cool is they are like best friends in real life.
Yeah its probably hard for them to act like this to one another
@@karinavargas1657 Sigh. Why? That IS what acting is all about. Conveying convincing emotions irregardless of what you really think of that person you know in person or what you think of the character you're playing. I swear to God there's a myriad of incredibly stupid comments here.
@@reneearnoux5910 lmao what? Chill it's not that serious. I don't see how anything she said is wrong, when you like someone it's hard to act like you actually hate them. Yeah this is what acting is all about so? She was just pointing out that it must be hard. Work on your anger issues and get off the internet
Lol I never would have guessed
@@maevab2923 thanks
Nice callback there to when Serena screamed this at June
Elizabeth is such a top tier actress. My god, she’s good
And this is the scene that won Elisabeth Moss the oscar, golden globe, grammy, and every other award imaginable 🥰
This scene will forever live in my mind rent free and Im totally okay with that.
Put your hands together for these brilliant performers
The culmination and release of emotions expressed in this magnificent scene gave me goosebumps! As soon as I watched this scene I had to rewind and watch it again. Such an amazing delivery from Moss!!! I can see this scene being played during the Emmys right before she wins.
I have seen this over and over again. Elizabeth Moss (all the actors are great + the writers etc) - but June, oh man, I love June. This right here, I felt in my bones
This scene gave me life.
I hope Serena will become a handmaid when she turn back to Gilead now she can have babies
Yes lmaooooo
I don't think she can become a handmaid just by now showing her fertility. Remember that the original handmaids were made so for two reasons, they were fertile and had done "Impure" things pre Gilead that then made them undeserving of even being an econo-wife. I'm guessing she'd either remain a wife or if her and Fred get demoted, then an econo-wife.
@@susannahmanton4904 she can become a handmaid though if Gilead kills Fred though .
@@susannahmanton4904
The handmaids will last, there will be another generation (although the writers of the show and the books didn't say anything about how someone will become a handmaid in future), so they obviously can't make someone a handmaid just due to pre-gilead sins, but to all sins. If Serena ever come back to Gilead, she won't be wife anymore, because she betrayed Fred. I'm sure that Gilead knows what exactly led to Fred's arresting - it was naive Serena thinking that she would be safe thanks to playing the victim card. Then they arrested her too, because obviously she fucked over Fred so he did the same - so to Gilead it surely won't matter that she was also a 'prisoner' in Canada, because the whole situation was all her doing. She betrayed Fred which means she betrayed Gilead and as we know, Gilead shows no mercy to betrayers. If Fred and Serena really come back to Gilead at some point, I really doubt that Fred will protect her in any way so she won't escape her punishment for these crimes against Fred.
Also, they lost a lot of handmaids lately, so they can't waste any fertile women by sending them to colonies, which now includes Serena too. I think that for Gilead, Serena becoming a handmaid would be a perfect solution for her case.
The only fitting punishment for such a cruel evil person
As much as I love this scene, it's still not enough (As in Punishment for Serena and closure for June). I hope Serena get whats coming to her in the end.
Oh this isn’t it, I think they’ve planned a bit more for Serena tbh. She’ll never become a mother.
That baby cannot be raised by that monster. She's a war criminal so they'll probably take it once its born, karma
what will happen to her? i didn't read the book
@@gc0009 the first book ends the same way season 1 did and the second book is about Nicole all grown up. So everything that’s happened to Serena and Fred from season 2 onwards has been the show, nothing from the book!
This scene gives me absolute chills every time
I have watched this scene and episode time and time again. Can't get enough of it. Can hardly wait for "Testimony. "
"I'm sorry"
That one line proves that, underneath all her rage, self-righteousness and cruelty, Serena is such a child
I saw it as shallow and pathetically manipulative (She will act the “remorseful Christian” to get people on her side).
Three little words: Sorry... my... ASS!
Can we give Elisabeth all the awards the deserves already? I mean, this scene was so INTENSE. Been waiting for years to see this!
Ok but r we gonna talk ab June with her hair in the tight bun being symbolic of the power change. Omg I fucking love it!!!
That scene was brilliant!!!!!!!! This show is so insanely amazing, as is Elizabeth's acting. 👏💕
Elizabeth moss is becoming one of my favorite actress, this scene made me cry. I love when she wiped the spit off her mouth.
I literally got chills watching this when it aired, I got chills rewatching it. The acting on this show is phenomenal. Wow.
Chills! Elizabeth moss just wow
If I ever see my worthless ex-boyfriend again is exactly how I want it to go
R Ld
YOU dated him, was with him and spent a lot of time together with him. Nobody forced you. If he is worthless, that only means you have worthless assessment abilities of men. Had you been smart and knowledgeable you'd leave him long ago. Alas you're one of those:"I loved him for a long time, but after our relationship ended I went all bitter and now I'm going to scapegoat him for everything, even though if all I'm saying is true actually makes ME look really stupid for even being in relationship with him *in the first place*
Bet your ex-boyfriend is a lot happier now when he's rid of you then you clearly are now.
@@reneearnoux5910 Woah who hurt you... Plus it was clearly a joke by OP.
@@reneearnoux5910 jesus calm down it's a joke
@@reneearnoux5910 or maybe he was abusive and toxic to her like serena was to june? you literally don't know her life...stop making assumptions.
@@reneearnoux5910 how pathetic you are to write a whole ass paragraph based on a joke? You need therapy.
This is sublime acting from both Lizzie and Yvonne.
Damn. June had me scared my damn self at this scene! I felt all the anger and emotions! Moss is a great actress
GIVE ELIZABETH MOSS AN EMMY!!!! THIS SCENE, SHES A PHENOMENAL ACTRESS!
This scene was so good, I could almost taste it. Getting physical with her wouldn't even be worth it. June's words to her packed a harder punch than any fist ever could have. To let her know her actions will never be forgiven and that she will live a shameful miserable life. That's good enough for me. In order for her to genuinely understand the pain she's caused, she needs to feel June's wrath and just imagine how it would feel for her baby to die or get forcibly ripped away from her.
The only thing better would be for Serena to have her child taken away and to actually put her in a REAL jail
No Serena needs to have her child taken and kept in Canada then be sent back to Gilead to become a handmaid now that she can get pregnant. That would be the ultimate karma.
@@AFCompany Yeah, but that would sadly mean the handmaid thing would go on, which would suck for women who do not deserve it like she does. Gilead needs to go. Jail time would be perfect for her, or, well, just killing her off.
She needs to go to the colonies
I'd actually prefer for her to have a taste of her own medicine, but thank you for pointing out how ridiculously comfortable their cells look. You call that a jail? Why would they need extra comfort or any connection to the outside world after all they've done? Why are they getting a preferential treatment?
@@maevab2923 👀👀👀 let’s just call a spade a spade if it was and also Mark wanted the kitty kat I think that’s also why
This still gives me hoosebumps. Elizabeth moss is such a great actress
OMG! The emotion in this scene...you could literally feel the anger pouring out of the tv! I was physically shaking feeling all of that anger right along with her!
Ridiculously good acting
Damn. Has to be one of the most satisfying scenes ever. For this scene alone Elizabeth deserves an emmy. I got chills when she said "Do you understand Me"
After watching that scene where Serena drives to that house to see June's daughter and June's trapped in the car unable to do anything this is satisfying AF
That scene was beyond awful and cruel…. It definitely showed Serena’s ugly side.
@@iamsherlocked345 It showed her desperation, obessed with the idea to have a child, knowing she would never truely have that (because she wouldnt be the mother)
Moss absolutely smashed this!! This entire season! Bring them awards home!! 🏆 🏆
They are such a great actresses!!!!
INCREDIBLE scene. superb acting. just absolutely brilliant.
"I thank the Lord"
"YOU WOULD!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Jeez Moss, you didn’t have to be that phenomenal, like damn lol.
Elizabeth Moss deserves all the awards omg
This is one of the most satisfying scenes
This scene was epic!!
Seriously the most satisfying moment EVER!!
“You never did give me credit for anything.”
this show is so... i cant find words... the emotions i cant.....
This scene goes back to that moment in season 1 episode 3 when Serena got mad that June wasn’t pregnant and yelled at her in the same way June is doing now instead junes is true rage. Loved it!
The Handmaid’s Tale might just be the best acted drama I’ve ever seen.
Congrats on your Emmy win, Elizabeth Moss.
This scene was incredible, what acting.
Let's hope that what June said to Serena will come true! Miscarriages and babies who die at birth are not uncommon. Even if the baby will not die, someone is going to have to take Serena's baby away from her to where she will never have the privilege of becoming a mother.
She will NOT be becoming a mother in this show. They won’t give that to her no way.
She'll go to jail and her baby will be taken away then.
@@catrinad2491 good lol
That stress could trigger a miscarriage too
I don't hope that her baby die. Firstly because the baby has nothing to do with it, and even that would be too fucking easy on her
This scene right here. This scene is everything. It brought me LITERAL goosebumps all over my body. Oscar worthy in my opinion.
Brava! I love the reverse symbolism of June and Serena's clothes! How the tables have turned- the Queen kneels before the servant! That's so beautiful! Goddess power baby!
