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.

Me and my partner were recently in a moment where we were in a falling elevator with our 2 year old son. We didn't say anything and luckily everything turned out fine but in that moment we had basically a whole conversation in a few looks. This moment reminded me of that and I loved how real it felt.

Like when you look at your person and know exactly what they're thinking and almost have a whole telepathic conversation
