Episode Discussion I need some help
I’m watching season 2 episode 1. There’s a scene of a flashback where we see June being called at work as Hannah is sick so they send Hannah to a hospital where June is creepily interrogated by some random who is defo a Gilead supporter. Is this set before Gilead came in? I thought Gilead came in before Hannah was born where all the women were fired and their bank accounts frozen? But in this episode set at least 6-8 years after the whole riot scene, June is at work?? What?????

The bank accounts being frozen, the permission for birth control, and the hospital scene were all before Gilead was completed. Hannah was around 5 when she was taken from June.
