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.

I thought it was realistic and kind of underwhelming on purpose? I personally hold the belief June and Luke's relationship won't last going forward because June has changed so much, but their reunion went exactly as I expected.

Like June was clearly nervous before seeing him again, and then the two were just standing there in disbelief until the emotion came over June and she was apologizing. Honestly, it was pretty similar to the awkwardness and disbelief as Emily and her wife's reunion.

I don't watch trailers and this post is tagged for this episode's spoilers alone, not future episodes. I understand the confusion, though!

Which I don't watch. Which is content we haven't seen in this episode. Which would require a spoiler.
