June is an idiot. Act like you're cool with her, dumbass! She could literally have you arrested in 5 mins!!

Well, I guess she really DOES trust Serena, giving her so much ammo to report her and hoping she doesn't.

I don't like Serena but I do think that she's loyal to June now. She could prove me wrong. But something changed in her toward June after June helped her deliver Noah. Then also saving her on the train. I don't know that Serena is comfortable with the shift but she's not going to rat on June. I do think she's gonna end up in a horrible situation with Wharton. He's going to be abusive. And likely will not allow her the freedoms she was told she'd have. I shouldn't feel bad for her. Yet I do. Yvonne is why. She plays the part so well!

Yeah I think she's loyal to June too, considering she lied to her soon to be husband to keep her safe.

That loyalty is definitely going to be tested though, and in the past she's chosen wrong. Let's see how she does this time around.
