At the end, Serena pretty much encourages June to go have sex with Nick to increase the chance of a pregnancy. She tells June she is a clever girl because she understands that she has to do whatever is necessary for the final result. That’s why she goes to him.

The commander wasn’t being forceful he was being over enthusiastic, that’s what freaked her out. And when he says he was trying to make it better, I thinks he is trying to make June enjoy the “ceremony”, make her happy so that she doesn’t get to depressed and kill herself, like the previous Offred. And yes he seems to genuinely like her.

I disagree that Fred likes June. I personally think he thinks of her like he does most women - as a receptacle for men. But, like most monsters, he doesn't want to admit to being one, and therein lies his motives for trying to make a connection. He also likes and despises the world he's helped to create - with women forced into these roles, he's without the moral superiority from before. Things are "as they should be", and therefore he *shouldn't* have cause for complaint, except that humans don't work without a sense of connection to each other. The landscape in this is so clinical, and he loathes that. Fred's basically everything that's wrong with Gilead, imho. Remorseless and stubbornly rejecting of the idea that men shouldn't run things. As for June and her Scrabble games with him, her flirting, etc., I think she's just a survivor. If she says no to him in any way, or makes him angry, he literally has all the power, so she's decided to play his game and see what freedoms doing so might glean her. Regarding Nick, though -- you know, it never occurred to me even once, until you said it, that he could be the Eye who turned Emily in? Lol. I still don't think he was; I think he's just one of many in the spy network, but it made me blink and consider, that was really interesting! And I think June went to him because he was honest with her about it. She felt like she was cheating on Luke for the first time because she and Nick keep confronting this subtle vibe between them (if that makes any sense), and she couldn't so easily fit it into the slot of being forced to lay down for her rapist. I *loved* their sex scene - not only because she took control, but because he *let* her. If you watch it again, he doesn't touch her until she's ready, doesn't resist or argue, doesn't get remotely aggressive. He's responsive to her on top, picking up all of her physical cues, and pliantly rolls over so she can take the dominant position. Any one of these things, attempted with another man, is something that could and likely *would* get her punished severely, but his passivity is so important, the way he allows her to be entirely in charge. It squares up the natural imbalance of power between them. (Lolol - sorry for the intense meta on the sex scene; I'm a romance writer, so I find the logistics of intimacy really interesting.) And I 1000% agree with the Luke/June dynamic. I'm personally pretty squicked by infidelity narratives, but I appreciate so hard the way this was presented and acted. It'd be wonderful if there was a black and white position to take here, but their actions, while arguably wrong and hurtful, were the culmination of just...steadily growing closer, losing your own sense of self-control. Idk. I don't want to excuse it, but I think the story was executed perfectly in that manner. (And yeah, I feel like they implied a time-jump from their first time in the hotel and when June asks him to leave his wife.) Anyway, thanks for the great reaction! I always love them, but this one made me consider a lot of things from a new perspective, and that's always nice. :D
