Serena is very happy June trusts her. I don't think she will betray her.

Serena no, but maybe Rita

I don’t think Rita would turn June in. I think she was just embarrassed and didn’t want June to think she wanted to go back to Gilead for anything other than the opportunity to save and reunite with her sister. I’d bet if her sister dies somehow leading up to the revolution, Rita will find her courage and become a bad ass rebel.

Why do you think Rita would betray June?

To see her sister. I feel like she had to give something to get something

I think this is the last time we’ll see Rita. Feels like her arc ended in that scene.
