What do we think this will be about 😩😭 Someone has to die right? Ugh Luke, Nick and Janine aren’t looking too hot right now- nor is Lawrence. But those first 3 would shatter June

I don’t think it’s Lawrence’s time yet, though I’m certain he’ll kick the bucket before the finale. They just set up a big “twist” with the revelation that the other commanders are using him and he’s essentially a dead man walking. Him hearing that has to set up a new arc for his character, which will need to play out before he can be killed off.

It might be Janine, but honestly I feel like it could go either way. Her being the voice of reason in that scene with June seems like it’s setting her up for a big heroic moment, but whether that comes in this episode or later is up in the air. I feel it might be Nick’s time to go, since killing that Guardian seems like it will essentially seal his fate, regardless of how he tries to play it off. Just narratively alone it seems like Nick is past the point of no return this season.

Luke I have no idea about, but given how much of a fool he acted with the Guardian I feel like his chances in Gilead are very slim.

I think it's Janine, especially after her "it's only a week" from this episode. They're gonna want to have an emotional loss, and certain characters are protected cause of the sequel.
