The Handmaids Tale Season 4 Episode 7 June and Serena 'Do You Understand Me' 

And 4 years! Finally!!

Fuck yes!!!!!!!!!

I’ve done my waiting! TWELVE. YEARS. In Azkaban!

OoOoOoOoOoOoHHHH Hell Yea!!!!

I was half expecting Serena to go "Yes Mrs Osbourne/June"

Her performance is as good as Moss', she definitely deserves more credit. But she's a villain character, and sadly that's the way the cookie crumbles lol

@@andrew5222 Yes, poor the villains :(

Nah

Aunt Lydia doesn’t get enough spotlight she’s so complex and mysterious and smart

I'd say she (YS) is the better actress. EM has pretty much done the same couple of tricks every season, YS has had to portray a wide range of emotions. She's by far the better actress IMO.

That's exactly what I was thinking I was like wait a minute that's the same thing Serena said to June back in season 1!!!!

Yes, much more terrifying! It was catartic

She's being mean to Serena . Serena is iconic and a leader !

@@lisavanderpump7475 okay abuse enabler

@@lisavanderpump7475 Get a life

Good eye!! Had to double check it because of this comment, the wardrobe of this show is a masterpiece

I can't see a friggin thing cause it's so dark. 😭

The color is cerulean

Nice catch

Didn't notice that the first time so true

Good one

They should have had her say that when she walked out.

😂

Damn nice!!!! Good one

🤣

THIS

Holly shit ,that look, every move, whole emotion , she fucking rules

@@samirislamovic8201 bitch yes, and the next episode with the aunt

I love her acting I’m becoming a huge fan

​@@jerseyguy198 aunt will have nice time in 4 season I think they gong in Gilead , at list June will . shes om a war revenge road

PLSSS

🤣

Hopefully 🤞😂

🤣🤣🤣

LMFAOOOO

yeah, after everything she is been trough, yeah they have ruined her mental health but they couldnt break her spirit , for me this scene is like June reclaiming her life, many people have no chance to confront their abusers

@Soul D durrrr there all acting are you thick😂😂

If June reunited with Hannah

@@HK-gm8pe my heart break for June who suffered abused by Fred and Serena caused her pstd

Don't think she wants to get back to her country at this point.....but I'm sure she's all for saving her hide.

she didn’t have to save those children, or those martha’s, but she did, for the greater good. she was literally reluctant to come to canada bedause she wanted to stay in gilead

Devin O'Loughlin theyre talking about serena...

If Serena goes back she’ll be a handmaid. I don’t think she wants to go back

How could she want to go back there, she's deluded

Yup Elizabeth Moss is excellent

Moss is my favorite actress hands fucking down. She puts SO much emotion and energy into June it fucking kills me.

My absolute favorite show!

@@lyt6732 Elisabeth moss is friggin amazing!

true...I started watching the handmaids tale because of acting, acting in this show is just incredible

Yeah.. that's gonna be like a sick sadistic "Facts of Life" reunion...Aunt Lydia will be not Mrs. Garrett, but Mrs. Garroted ("executed"). Though I think with June having escaped to Canada..this will be seen as her final failure and she'll be sent to the wall.

PRAISE BE

If it goes along with the 2nd book at all, Aunt Lydia will be the key to bringing down Gilead permanently. In Season 4 you can already see the start of her plot, so I think it will happen.

@@summero.2377 yes, I also read the book and I am hoping that the series will follow the book's plot line. Aunt Lydia is the creator of Mayday. She gets the pain and humiliation of being a woman in Gilead so she is working to blow up the system from the inside.

@@petronelaasoltanei9393 Smh... what an irony. She destroys these women and get redemption ... Hope she gets what she deserves even after destroying Gilead

Her seeking "redemption" is only a means to serve for her hoped-for freedom. The woman is blindingly selfish and self-serving in any and every capacity. I still think she's in complete denial of who she is and what she's done, especially with her prison being so damn cushy and nice.

@@foreverhungry7777 yes, she is delusional , like Fred said " I am as you made me...as you made us"

She's crying because she has to rely on Fred now, since her "beg June for forgiveness" plan didn't work out.

@@foreverhungry7777 Exactly Michelle! If only she was forced to live like regular inmates having to ask permission to use the bathroom and getting served slop for a daily meal. Funny how up to now she put on this facade of answering to a higher power and not fearing any punishment delivered by mankind but soon as she is made to face the consequences of her actions that facade dissipates.

Such a powerful scene!

Yeah but I hope the baby doesn't die it's not the baby's fault that it has a mother like this so have the baby but take the baby away

@@karinavargas1657 Up to a certain point in its development, it's just a blob of cells and doesn't have much in the way of a nervous system. I don't feel much about the loss of early stage fetuses unless the parents (minus the example of a monster like Serena) are also heartbroken about it. And besides that, it's a fictional TV-baby. I hope the writers kill it early. Or! Let Serena bring it to term, THEN the baby gets taken away and placed in a suitable home. That would likely hurt Serena more.

@@karinavargas1657 it’s not a baby yet so it may as well

@@karinavargas1657 that baby would be a freak of nature, I hope she goes still born in the show.

It’s also not real

I burst out laughing at that. What a cow.

Yes! And then June says “I brought MYSELF here so I could tell you how much I hate you.”

There are actually people irl who think that way. They grovel and beg for forgiveness and think it’s owed to them just because They think their god would want that. God is a vengeful and petty god, people conveniently forget that little fact when it’s them suffering from their own consequences....

Lol the fact that she's there at all just makes June even more pissed off. Don't forget that June did not want to leave.

I know I know it’s TV each time Serena start mentioning the higher power I just want to ball my fist.

Yes! They take absolutely no responsibility for their vicious and malicious (both physical and psychologically) actions. I’m sure they’re frightened, angry, and disoriented by their change in status but even if they felt genuine remorse it wouldn’t be enough to equal justice.

Honestly just take the child away and never let her see him again would be ideal, the child wouldn't even know what a devil his mother was and that would probably break her too, which + 100 points

@@VinyZikss Nah..her delivering a stillborn child and then carted back to Gilead to be part of the Magdalene Colony; freed to only to bear a child then sent back into service would be a much more fulfilling end to this WORM-man

Except Fred was and got sloppy overtime however Serena is much more calculating much more dangerous than Fred. It won’t surprise me if she’s responsible for turning Canada into the next Gilead. June would have to smuggle Nicole back into Gilead.

Your wish has been granted.

She is the best actress, hands down

@@rasalilaberry6898 Praise be 🤟

You forgot the ffrrrACTION 😂. This is literally the most satisfying scene and makes all four seasons of June you can escape, but doesn’t. I understand the reasoning of why she didn’t, but it didn’t make it any less disappointing.

@@kathyburton4372 Yes, I completely agree, this showed really good character development also, Pre Gilead June would never speak to anyone like this.

It reminded me of how Faye Dunaway said, "Why can't you treat me like any stuuuhRAAAANGER on the street?!" in Mommie Dearest.

Who?

MCF119 Serena

As good as Yvonne is. No one is taking anything in this scene away from Elisabeth. Nothing and no one. The scene belonged to her.

Doesn’t even come close to moss’ shine in this scene

You can't point anything out to narcissists. Just my experience. You can only deny them satisfaction. Which is exactly what she did.

"This scene is the epitome of script writing" Sure, if you compare with really bad soap operas. This is bordering on embarrassing and the script writers really don't know what to do anymore so they just go for raw, unfiltered emotions from bitter and angry people who in reality really should be past that by this point. "This show has been one of the greatest opportunities to get a glimpse of what a dystopian society looks like." Please tell me you're joking. "The scary part is that we see hints of that in our world today. " Listen, not even Sharia law countries are like this. Their oppression and sexism is a lot more subtle, indirect and hidden. This writing has all the subtle qualities of a sledgehammer to your shoulder. I think you're fooling around.

@@reneearnoux5910 "who in reality really should be past that by this point" ah yes, the good ol' "get over it" in response to ptsd. You must be a delightful "person".

@@reneearnoux5910 I am kurdish and my people and other natives from my land have suffered from ISIS being captured, raped sold as a sex slave. This IS the reality of so many people and it’s heartbreaking don’t undermine this as a fiction

@@reneearnoux5910 I think you're trolling. But if not, then your analysis went beyond the border of embarrassing.

If you don’t like it why are you here watching clips from the show?

Nah.. what June did was far, far, far more psychologically damning. She took Serena's faith in G-d and turned into a gaslighted prophecy; reducing Serena to a fearful sinner and June as a Prophetess more fierce than both Deborah and Ya'el combined; driving it home that G-d has come to take your firstborn son as payment! And you're right.. June ain't done.. she just sharpened the knife. By telling Serena that it was G-d's plan to finally allow Serena to become pregnant only to kill the child in retribution is brilliant twisting of this "we're the children of the lord" bullshit. On some level, it was great.. but I couldn't help but think there were elements of Aunt Lydia in there.

@@creativewriter3887 June is a great manipulator... and she’s spent years with Aunt Lydia. I think she leaned a thing or two from her

oh my god yeesssssssssssssssssssssss

I heard that they filmed multiple versions of this scene so who knows, there might be one of those too!

"I'm here to do the lord's work..now that your cup is full of iniquity and reprobation, I WILL be your judge, jury and executioner.. the lord is just, bitch"

This show is just absolutely brilliant and the execution is just sublime! I love all the details they do for those who are willing to look for them!

YES!!!! AGREE.

@@tacomistress THE BEST SHOW EVER. HANDMAIDS TALE ALL THE WAY.

Get real. Most people don't seem to understand that Heisenberg/Walter White turned into a cold, calculating monster by that stage and that he was a ruthless meth kingpin having people killed left and right if they somehow got in his way. The story was how a good, honest and loving man turned into a power-hungry monster in his quest to save his family and how the power corrupted him. What in the flying f*ck is the message here?? "You took my child, now I'm going to take yours?" I'm fairly certain she hasn't turned into a power-hungry and ruthless "Heisenberg" who makes up his own rules and has people taken out of the way. In fact judging by the comments here it's nothing but petty revenge. How is that remotely comparable? Are you out of your frickin' mind?

@@reneearnoux5910 I was just saying from an acting perspective not the characters themselves, and how Bryan Cranston’s I’m the one who knocks scene was as powerful a scene as Elisabeth moss’s was in this video. Basically saying this scene will be popularly remembered and quoted like the I’m the one who knocks scene. As far as the “message” your taking about I think it’s too early to interpret exactly what her message is, you interpret it was petty revenge, I see it as a woman who’s been through hell and has some ptsd and in that moment had a cathartic release of emotion which was the same verbal abuse she had received from Serena and she reciprocated back some of her same medicine.

@@reneearnoux5910 you need help. Please get help.

@@reneearnoux5910 what would you exactly say to somebody who literally rip families apart to became sex slaves!? To be tortured to be kill to be hung on the wall if they disobey to be rape and forced to have kids so they can take your child away.. I don’t find anything petty about this scene! You’re ridiculous for thinking that way..

@@reneearnoux5910 I think you misunderstood the comment, and may have also missed the subtle ways June is starting to “turn” as a result of all the trauma she endured. She’s slowly becoming the person she described to Mark. And the way she treated Luke afterwards-I think this is just the beginning.

😂

June was the one who was upset though 😅

@@casie6609 June was angry, Serena was upset.

Which episode?

@@Jaims-nk4zz season 1

"You took away my father, drove my sister away, left me to be tortured, striped, and beaten publicly, had my mother and brother slaughtered, forced me to marry the enemy, killed my friend and her family with wildfire, and raised the worst king in the history of our kingdom. You took everything from me! Do you know why the gods made you pregnant, so when they kill the child inside of you, you know a fraction of the pain I felt when you ripped my life away from me! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!?!" Sorry that was the best I could become up with on the fly

@@l.tc.5032 Don't forget her wolf, Lady.

Serena is not far different from Cersei Both are women who let themselves guide through her emotions like grief and trauma.Both have the love for their children as the only sign of humanity that still remains What makes so interesting these 2 characters is the fact that if things could have gone in such a different way,they could be even heroes Instead they are monsters who are slaves of her negative emotions Such a sadly reality

Cersei taught Sansa everything she knows about politics. I see the analogy, but their relationship is pretty different from June and Serena’s. I find Cersei way more intriguing than Serena.

@@pharoah125 Imo its the opposite for me.Cersei didnt teach Sansa about politics,she was just teachimg Sansa how to be a damsel and the mannerisms Cersei only wnared to manipulate Sansa to make her the dog of Joffrey The relationship with Serena was quite different too.Both were empowered and clever woman,but they were enemies June and Serena and how tgey try to manipulate each other is far beyond great from Cersei manipulating Sansa to get the purpose of control Winterfell for the Lannister marrying her with Joffrey

The way she wipes her face afterwards....

I'm in the UK and watched it last night, Moss is amazing in this scene, they both were . Very satisfying to see June finally face Serena, wow!!!!

In that list, I want to add the soundscape too. The way it subtly swells with intensity and then falls for a moment and then rises again,

Yes she's so multi layered

Agreed. Women are so much more interesting as villains than men

Yeah its probably hard for them to act like this to one another

@@karinavargas1657 Sigh. Why? That IS what acting is all about. Conveying convincing emotions irregardless of what you really think of that person you know in person or what you think of the character you're playing. I swear to God there's a myriad of incredibly stupid comments here.

@@reneearnoux5910 lmao what? Chill it's not that serious. I don't see how anything she said is wrong, when you like someone it's hard to act like you actually hate them. Yeah this is what acting is all about so? She was just pointing out that it must be hard. Work on your anger issues and get off the internet

Lol I never would have guessed

@@maevab2923 thanks

This series has always been off the chart for its acting, its really good and consistent

Do people really still think you can only get great acting in movies? Some of the best performances I've seen have been from shows.

@@AdzPower i totally agree with you ,a lot of people undermine tv shows, but for me i have seen great performances by actors and actresses on tv .

@@AdzPower you are so right

Yvonne Strahovski destroy Moss.

Yes lmaooooo

I don't think she can become a handmaid just by now showing her fertility. Remember that the original handmaids were made so for two reasons, they were fertile and had done "Impure" things pre Gilead that then made them undeserving of even being an econo-wife. I'm guessing she'd either remain a wife or if her and Fred get demoted, then an econo-wife.

@@susannahmanton4904 she can become a handmaid though if Gilead kills Fred though .

@@susannahmanton4904 The handmaids will last, there will be another generation (although the writers of the show and the books didn't say anything about how someone will become a handmaid in future), so they obviously can't make someone a handmaid just due to pre-gilead sins, but to all sins. If Serena ever come back to Gilead, she won't be wife anymore, because she betrayed Fred. I'm sure that Gilead knows what exactly led to Fred's arresting - it was naive Serena thinking that she would be safe thanks to playing the victim card. Then they arrested her too, because obviously she fucked over Fred so he did the same - so to Gilead it surely won't matter that she was also a 'prisoner' in Canada, because the whole situation was all her doing. She betrayed Fred which means she betrayed Gilead and as we know, Gilead shows no mercy to betrayers. If Fred and Serena really come back to Gilead at some point, I really doubt that Fred will protect her in any way so she won't escape her punishment for these crimes against Fred. Also, they lost a lot of handmaids lately, so they can't waste any fertile women by sending them to colonies, which now includes Serena too. I think that for Gilead, Serena becoming a handmaid would be a perfect solution for her case.

The only fitting punishment for such a cruel evil person

R Ld YOU dated him, was with him and spent a lot of time together with him. Nobody forced you. If he is worthless, that only means you have worthless assessment abilities of men. Had you been smart and knowledgeable you'd leave him long ago. Alas you're one of those:"I loved him for a long time, but after our relationship ended I went all bitter and now I'm going to scapegoat him for everything, even though if all I'm saying is true actually makes ME look really stupid for even being in relationship with him *in the first place* Bet your ex-boyfriend is a lot happier now when he's rid of you then you clearly are now.

@@reneearnoux5910 Woah who hurt you... Plus it was clearly a joke by OP.

@@reneearnoux5910 jesus calm down it's a joke

@@reneearnoux5910 or maybe he was abusive and toxic to her like serena was to june? you literally don't know her life...stop making assumptions.

@@reneearnoux5910 how pathetic you are to write a whole ass paragraph based on a joke? You need therapy.

No Serena needs to have her child taken and kept in Canada then be sent back to Gilead to become a handmaid now that she can get pregnant. That would be the ultimate karma.

@@AFCompany Yeah, but that would sadly mean the handmaid thing would go on, which would suck for women who do not deserve it like she does. Gilead needs to go. Jail time would be perfect for her, or, well, just killing her off.

She needs to go to the colonies

I'd actually prefer for her to have a taste of her own medicine, but thank you for pointing out how ridiculously comfortable their cells look. You call that a jail? Why would they need extra comfort or any connection to the outside world after all they've done? Why are they getting a preferential treatment?

@@maevab2923 👀👀👀 let’s just call a spade a spade if it was and also Mark wanted the kitty kat I think that’s also why

Oh this isn’t it, I think they’ve planned a bit more for Serena tbh. She’ll never become a mother.

Nothing will ever be enough to punished Serena.

That baby cannot be raised by that monster. She's a war criminal so they'll probably take it once its born, karma

what will happen to her? i didn't read the book

@@gc0009 the first book ends the same way season 1 did and the second book is about Nicole all grown up. So everything that’s happened to Serena and Fred from season 2 onwards has been the show, nothing from the book!

That scene was beyond awful and cruel…. It definitely showed Serena’s ugly side.

@@iamsherlocked345 It showed her desperation, obessed with the idea to have a child, knowing she would never truely have that (because she wouldnt be the mother)

I saw it as shallow and pathetically manipulative (She will act the “remorseful Christian” to get people on her side).

Three little words: Sorry... my... ASS!

She will NOT be becoming a mother in this show. They won’t give that to her no way.

She'll go to jail and her baby will be taken away then.

@@catrinad2491 good lol

That stress could trigger a miscarriage too

I don't hope that her baby die. Firstly because the baby has nothing to do with it, and even that would be too fucking easy on her

i know people like you get off to this show especially with a name like that lmao
