Emily is assigned to a mysterious new household headed by Commander Joseph Lawrence (played by Bradley Whitford). Unlike other commanders, Lawrence is eccentric, keeps a house filled with forbidden books and art, and is revealed to be the "architect" of Gilead’s economy and the Colonies.

After giving birth alone, June is initially kept at the Red Center. Due to her diminishing milk supply, Aunt Lydia convinces the Waterfords to let June return to their home to nurse the baby, whom Serena has named Nichole.

Traumatized by Eden’s death and unable to soothe the baby herself, Serena ultimately relents and allows June to nurse the baby directly, leading to a fleeting moment of peace between the two women. Summary Table Postpartum | The Handmaid's Tale Wiki | Fandom
