"The moment the reality of Gilead finally set in for Janine. The veil has slipped and I don't think she's going to be the good girl and Aunt Lydia's pet any longer," one viewer wrote of the moment that led to Janine's arrest.
prevnextFans theorize what will happen to Janine
I’m praying for the downfall of the House of Lawrence but with Janine being rescued first ‘cause we can all agree that she’s the sweetest and she deserves a happy ending.#HandmaidsTale #TheHandmaidsTale pic.twitter.com/GfqcfywtGo

"Instead of the close up on June's face in this episode, the close-up was on Janine's face and Aunt Lydia's face. I feel like this is their way of telling us next season Aunt Lydia and Janine are going to be f****** some s*** up," somebody on Reddit theorized, with another person agreeing "I think Lydia is going to do something which saves Janine – maybe help her escape, I don't know."

"I was not a big fan of Luke's at the start, now years later I am gutted to see him arrested and away from June and Nicole," a redditor wrote, with somebody else suggesting, "Luke is either going to prison for 25 years or getting killed."

"Oh Nick!! You couldn't keep your cool, you just had to punch Lawrence in front of all the other Commanders?" one viewer asked. "Not your smartest or stealthiest move. You can't do much from a prison cell to help June...that is if they let you live."
prevnextFans fear the other Commanders are on to Nick
How the heck does Nick get out of jail? He’s publicly exposed Lawrence, the only ally he had in Gilead. Both have lost power and position. I guess that’s the end of New Bethlehem? #eyesongilead #TheHandmaidsTale

"When Nick punched Lawrence and the camera held on Mackenzie's face...if he didn't know before, now he does know that there is something of an alliance/assistance/connection between the two of them and June. Given that Mackenzie's rhetoric against June has already amped up, this will play out in S6," one person wrote on Reddit, another person adding, "Nick is gonna die next season, there's no way Rose is going to stick her neck out for him as a pregnant disabled woman. She's gotta think about her baby."
