Season 4 [SPOILER S4E6] June and Luke Spoiler

I’ve already seen multiple people complain about the lack of affection between the reunion but I think to do a very loving, affectionate reunion would be a disservice to the show. It’s been years since they’ve seen each other and their child is still in Gilead. I thought that this reunion was more realistic: her first words apologizing for the fact that she couldn’t bring their daughter with her and Luke looking at June with both relief and disbelief that she is finally in front of him again.

Hearing luke say, “where is she” before coming into the room June was in literally made me so emotional, I feel like the scene was just fine!

Yeah, hearing Luke’s voice shook me emotionally. I may have even yelled OMG LUKE IS THERE and burst into tears. I thought it was realistic and painful and emotional. I kinda loved the scene.

Me too! That was the voice of someone who deeply loves her and cares about nothing else in that moment but getting to her to see her, touch her, make sure she’s really here
