Warning: Spoilers
I have read the book and this is my first time watching a full episode. June's partner is Luke and they have a daughter named Hannah. They were caught in Maine and June was brought to a classroom where women were dressed all in red and wearing white caps that covered their side profiles.

Janine, a woman who was brave enough to make snarky comments, gets her right eye taken out as punishment. Women in this world are breeding cattle, you don't need an eye for that. Moira and June try to calm Janine down in the bedroom where she is completely nude, talking crazy to herself. June is brought to Officer Waterhouse's home where she is to be their handmaiden. She is told to do grocery shopping and meets Nick, the driver who is shovelling. His muscles are prominent and June wonders if he is lonely. He was not appointed a woman because of his lowly status. Serena, the Commander's wife, is obviously upset that her husband has to have sex with another woman. June is called for and lays in between the legs of Serena as the Commander thrusts slowly and surely into her. He holds on to the bed posts as he comes. Serena has tears falling from her eyes after and tells June to leave. June also has tears in her eyes as she lays in bed and says she can feel the Commander's cum coming out of her. She gets out of the home in her white undergarments, breathing in the night air. Across from her Nick watches her and she only realizes her mistake when she looks up and sees him. Thinking she was going to be taken away, she is anxious after this.
