Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Handmaid’s Tale season 6, episode 9!

The final episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is fast approaching on Hulu, marking the start of season 6, episode 10. Believe it or not, this series has been running for eight years now and has gained immense popularity, not only on Hulu but also as a significant cultural influence. Regrettably, every good story must eventually conclude, and in a matter of days, “The Handmaid’s Tale” will wrap up its captivating tale.

I’ve found myself in a gripping situation as the penultimate episode of The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 unfolds. In this dramatic turn of events, June and the Handmaids were miraculously rescued from imminent execution by the United States. With newfound hope, we regrouped and strategized our next move.

We received a shocking piece of intel from Serena Joy – some of Gilead’s most influential Commanders were en route to Washington D.C., with plans for retaliation brewing. To counter their advance, the United States took a bold step by entrusting a bomb to Commander Lawrence.

With heavy heart, I watched as Lawrence boarded a plane and detonated it mid-flight, resulting in the tragic demise of Nick, Lawrence, Wharton, and several other Commanders. This daring act not only saved countless lives but also dealt a significant blow to Gilead’s leadership. The stage is now set for an explosive finale.

Why The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6, Episode 10 Is The Last Ever Episode

Why Is It Ending Here?

The announcement that season 6 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” would be its final season indicated that the show had been planning this conclusion for some time. Some viewers have expressed disappointment about recent seasons feeling slow-moving. Given this, it seems fitting that the series should conclude here, allowing June and the United States a final opportunity to bring down Gilead in the series finale.

One significant reason behind the conclusion of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is because Hulu plans to adapt Margaret Atwood’s follow-up novel, “The Testaments,” into a sequel series. This new show will revolve around Aunt Lydia and various characters from “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Given that the original series must finish first for the sequel to start, Hulu might choose to conclude “The Handmaid’s Tale” and commence with “The Testaments.

What To Expect From The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Finale

How It Will Set Up The Testaments

In the final episode of season 6, I eagerly anticipate seeing how the story unfolds, particularly as our beloved characters grapple with the heartrending losses of Nick and Lawrence. It’s likely that we’ll witness the aftermath of the United States’ assault on Gilead, with a focus on how our main protagonists manage to slip away amidst the chaotic political climate. June, ever determined, is expected to make another valiant effort to rescue her daughter Hannah, a mission that has been at the heart of her journey throughout this series. Lastly, I can’t wait to see how the finale gives significant attention to Aunt Lydia, skillfully tying up loose ends as it lays the groundwork for “The Testaments”.
