The Handmaid’s Tale, “Vows” below.
When Moira (Samira Wiley) first laid eyes on June (Elisabeth Moss) in this season of
The Handmaid’s Tale, you could almost hear fans let out a long, collective scream. For much of season 4, we’ve watched Moira contend with her own guilt, grappling with the fact that she found a way to safety when June couldn’t. So when the two stumble into each other on the streets of Chicago, fate (or a heartstring-pulling writers’ room) seemed to be giving both characters a final chance at freedom.
“It’s been really satisfying,” Wiley told ELLE.com about Moira and June’s reunion. “To have an episode where I’m in [the action] so much and having these meaty scenes with Lizzie…as an artist, it was so fulfilling to have that kind of material written for me.”
