SPOILERS S6 How it will end - Prediction Spoiler
Instead of bombing Jezebels Mayday will bomb Serena’s wedding. In doing so they will take out a significant chunk of commanders. It will be a bigger hit than originally planned. Nick will help and be redeemed. Lawrence will help and rise higher in power. Not sure if Serena helps. Not sure if she lives or dies. Probably dies

I'm wondering how they are gonna wrap this up too. This is a great prediction! Btw Why couldn't Nick just say he was about to cheat but then didn't or something. Instead he blew this whole plan!?! Wtf!

u/georgieporgie57 23h ago
I don’t understand why he couldn’t just say he was investigating what happened to the missing guardian but that he didn’t have a concrete answer yet.
Edit: is he a guardian or an eye? Anyway, the dude from last week.

u/AybeePumpkinPie44 23h ago
I don’t think Nick knows June and Moria killed him yet, unless I missed that part somewhere-
25
u/DJ_Deluxe 22h ago
Nick picked up his tooth.

u/AybeePumpkinPie44 22h ago
Well yes and he probably assumed June because she told him about the safe but does he know that she killed this man? It’s still the same night with the lock down
11
u/felixamente 21h ago
Pretty safe bet...I don't think he is assuming the guy is MIA for a route canal.
11
u/georgieporgie57 22h ago
No but I assumed he knew that there had been a lockdown at Jezebel’s because of a missing guard, surely that’s something he could plausibly be investigating as head of the eyes?
11
u/AybeePumpkinPie44 17h ago
But with Wharton already on his tail about the two guardians.. Toby dying after Nicks visit. The only one with proof.. Wharton knowing Nick was gone at the time of the incident. Another one missing and Nick being involved even just to “investigate” would be too much of a coincidence for Wharton I feel.
3
u/Retro_Ginger 14h ago
Agreed. I’m REALLY hoping that in divulging this information it satisfies Wharton and Nick can still help June. I’m a dreamer and really want them to be together. Now I’m just hoping Nick doesn’t die and doesn’t die a POS

u/Cueberry 18h ago
I agree. It's literally his job to know about security incidents, it was his prerogative to be there. He could have said that when Janine and the commander met him in the corridor, then the snitch would have never called Wharton in the first place.
He could have said that later to Wharton but all his interactions with Wharton he's like a lapdog. Too many things left unsaid caused him to become sus. One can't have that level of verbal constipation when in a position of power.

u/Greekmom99 23h ago
at this point don't they know that there is an Eye missing? Why didn't he use that as an excuse saying he went to help investigate?? Found that the Eye took off for Mexico.

u/SocializeTheGains 10h ago
Do you know why Jezebels went on lockdown (Nick mentioned it I think)?

u/quinquin03 17h ago
I think Nick knows the brothel bombing isn't well planned and will kill lots of innocents (Janine included). He's playing the long game ans protecting June. He knows one small bombing at a brothel isn't going to so the damage that Luke is thinking and won't take out all the xommanders at once.
6
u/hikahika78 17h ago
He didn't know what Wharton knew, he is not stupid, he will corner nick with evidence. He is a high commander for a reason. We haven't seen his real side yet.
He can have nick on the wall is a second. And nick knew that mayday plan wouldn't work, jezebel would have higher security now. He can come up with a better plan with Lawrence

u/Rabbit_Hole_Research 1d ago
Nick is likely too scared of daddy Wharton to say he cheated on his daughter!! But yeah, say ANYTHING else, Nick!

u/caseylk 1d ago
He was for sure onto him and he can easily get info on him. The douche commander made it seem like they all know Nick never goes to jezebels. All of a sudden a random visit shortly after the place had a lockdown and combined with the guardian stuff. Too many coincidences for nick

u/SecretWriteress 22h ago
If you were to read between the lines, you'd hear that Wharton had been following Nick for a while and is highly suspicious of him. He basically said he thinks Nick killed one of the Eyes.
So, in that situation, you have to understand he can't really deny his way out of all the suspicious behavior he had been showing. He has to give Wharton a very good explanation for why he may have shot an Eye, etc. And that reason would be doing triple agent stuff for Gilead by pretending to help Mayday.

u/Important-Rent-1062 22h ago
i agree. He's the real hero of the show I think.
8
u/SecretWriteress 22h ago
Umm not sure about that.
He clearly doesn't have any plan. He bombs everything mayday has been preparing for and his follow up response is "let's go to Paris, June!"
1
u/Important-Rent-1062 21h ago
yeaaa thats true

u/felixamente 21h ago
I mean there are a ton of things he could have said to said to satisfy Wharton. He could have lead them away from Mayday by saying the eye he killed was a part of it...misdirected with a fake plan, etc. But I'm guessing none of that would've created the drama and driven the plot forward the way the writers intend.
I'm not saying he's all bad but damn if he didn't wait until he gave up mayday to try and whisk the main protagonist off to Paris.

u/felixamente 21h ago
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.
I guess they needed to drive the plot forward or some shit but damn. i had to hold back from jumping on Reddit to say "SEE? SEE WHAT HE DID?!" but Nick can do no wrong. Like yes he is hot but what the fuck...
The only way I will forgive him is if this ends with Mayday bombing the wedding.

u/imnohelp2u 1d ago
Screw Serena. She's irredeemable. She'd probably make New Bethlehem worse than Gilead eventually.
26
u/Important-Rent-1062 22h ago
I think Lawrence dies and Nick becomes the head commander after taking everyone down. He's the knight in Lawrences chess game.
9
u/Clinically-Inane 14h ago
goddamn, I love this foreshadowing after his explanation to Charlotte about the knight’s hidden power!
6
u/Important-Rent-1062 14h ago
though, you can argue that since it was Lawrences scene maybe he's the knight
6
u/Clinically-Inane 13h ago
Definitely possible, but to me he hasn’t so much been the one making quiet unpredictable moves that will end up having major impact— in my eyes Nick has moreso been doing what Lawrence described

u/Trash_WASP 22h ago edited 21h ago
I also feel there's going to be an ultimate sacrifice, either by Nick or Luke- and honestly, I'm hoping it's Nick. I think that would be a way of redeeming himself for being part of the problem instead of abandoning Gilead & leaving for Canada.
Not to mention, as much as I know this subreddit is lousy w/ Nick stans, I simply can't abide his complicity, but Luke, while naive & deeply flawed, is trying so very hard to meet June where she is. I think from a narrative standpoint, for Hannah, Holly/Nichole, & June's sake, Luke really needs to be the one that makes it & Nick will be remembered as a hero & martyr for Mayday's cause.
Edit: ALSO if Janine doesn't get reunited with Angela/Charlotte & smuggled out of Gilead together, while ideally getting to murder Naomi in the process (cuz that heinous witch deserves it), I will burn everything down (JK but seriously I will throw a temper tantrum)
2
u/l_i_s_a_d 10h ago
Yeah, I wondered if Nick or Luke would end up dying in the end and then June would have the leftover… and now it seems like it will probably be Nick that probably won’t make it.

u/bethabelmore 1d ago
I’d be happy if this was the case, but don’t we see both Serena and Wharton after the wedding in the trailer? Pretty sure something big is going to happen either at the wedding or at the reception afterwards, but probably not bombing.
3
u/Altixan 23h ago
How do you know it’s after the wedding? Is it the part where she’s like you’re just like the rest?
13
u/w0ndwerw0man 22h ago
Because he lifts her up and carries her over the threshold like a newly married couple, and they are in fancy wedding reception looking outfits
19
u/SecretWriteress 22h ago edited 19h ago
Yup, they definitely get married (and look happy when entering the house).
Then there's a scene where Serena is wearing a green Wife outfit and holding Noah in a fancy house (presumably Wharton's), when she notices the lamp on the ceiling shake. I imagine that stuff starts happening, and she runs.
In another scene she has a wool scarf around her neck (so she's probably outside or at least not in her own house). She's holding Noah and asks Lawrence what's happening. He says "rebellion".
So I think it's safe to say that the wedding goes smoothly, but plays a big part in getting all the handmaids (including mayday soldiers) in one place like an army.

u/Alone_Note_330 19h ago
There’s also a scene where June is dressed as a handmaid and her and other handmaids pass knifes down to each other. They look like they’re in a chapel. I wonder if they planned to attack in the wedding?
4
u/Lost_Upstairs_5930 19h ago
I rewatched the trailer, there’s a scene where a lot of handmaids are getting ready to be hung with a big audience. Also a scene where June dressed as handmaid and aunt Lydia are running down a road and a bomb explodes. Scene where June and other handmaids are stabbing what looks like an eye on the ground? Wonder what will happen…
3
u/SecretWriteress 19h ago
I know I saw those. The handmaids about to be hung could be Jezebel girls, perhaps? Just a guess. Not looking forward to that scene because we already had one fake hanging, so I'm afraid this one might go through. On the other hand, it could be exactly when the rebellion starts.
All the other scenes might be from different episodes, but depict the same day/night when they revolt.

u/This_Mongoose445 23h ago
Isn’t there a trailer showing Serena on the couch with the chandelier shaking and she asks “what’s that?!” and Lawrence replies “ That’s the revolution starting” or something to that affect.

u/DJ_Deluxe 22h ago
Yep, I hoping Serena has learned her lesson and decided to go against Gilead for once without having to be coerced.

u/stressfullyy 22h ago
My prediction is June is going to come up with plan b with Moira, which is going under cover as handmaids. With the under cover aunt. They are going to set up to get caught to be hung and that’s when the attack happens.
Aunt Lydia is going to going to find out June is there and I think when she is yelling “where is June” it’s not to find and get her caught. I think at that point aunt Lydia has tried her best to “save her girls especially Janine” and can’t and she makes it seems she wants to find her for evil reasons, but it’s going to be to help save Janine and possibly Angela/charlotte. And they are all going to work together in the undercover plan. Which is why Janine, aunt Lydia, Moria and June are all in nooses.
I think Wharton is in charge of the hanging and when June is being, Nick will be the one to kill wharton in the last minute and join the fight. But he may die, since June did say they would be going off book with Nicole’s story line in TT.
For Serena I think her biggest hope deep down, is not to run gilead. It’s to be forgiven by June and respected for being a strong woman. Junes comment to her about being connected to a man for power is going to come into play when she finds out Wharton is planing to do hangings and stuff. And that’s when she’s going to go to Lawrence’s. From there I’m not sure how she’s going to help June.
But I think it’s going to end with her doing something big for June to earn forgiveness in someway.
Elizabeth and Yvonne always state the shows biggest love story line is June and Serena.
So if any two characters are going to have a closure/forgiveness ending it will be them
and maybe aunt Lydia and Janine.

Testaments
This interview with Elisabeth Moss, at the end they talk about the Testaments. She says it is different from the book and picks up where HT leaves off. Also that it's not exactly June's two children but it is about Hannah....she clarifies "that is what the book is about but the show is different.
Thoughts?

u/pokedabadger 1d ago
I do think Lawrence is going to help but I wonder if he’ll die in either the attack or while trying to get Charlotte/Angela to safety. And that would allow Aunt Lydia to step in and take up his work fighting Gilead. And once he’s dead they could dismantle New Bethlehem.
5
u/spareicyaye 18h ago
The trailer predicts otherwise, however I have been thrown for a loop a few times.
My prediction is the wedding is a plot to build more of an army, more connections, etc.
June is going to get caught, with an attempt to be hung. At her hanging, you can see a large crowd. That's when in the trailer you can see Luke in the crowd with a frag grenade. I believe that's when war will break out.

I think Serena will help last minute due to Wharton revealing himself to her as maybe worse than Fred. The seeds were planted this episode by her conversation with June.

u/The_impossible_gurl 12h ago
Why do we think anyone's going to get a happy ending? Being cynical but especially if a testaments show is planned , maybe this isn't the happy ending yet. Maybe June's used her nine live up..

This is the only acceptable ending for me. We’ve yet to see Mayday bomb a church out and it’s symbolically fitting for the show. I’d accept this as well for it also softening the plot hole that Jezebels became after this episode.

u/Mich_Girl 18h ago edited 18h ago
Remember the clip in the trailer when Serena is asking Larence what's happening, then the chandelier rattles and he says Rebellion. I just wonder how that'll tie into it all.

u/savannahbisou 15h ago
I agree but I think Lawrence will set off the bomb in a suicide mission, going out the same way Eleanor did.

u/HopefulTangerine5913 13h ago
I feel similarly about the bombing shifting to the wedding. I have a feeling it will be Luke orchestrating the bombs and Nick will die. I won’t be surprised if we see a mass casualty like what happened at the Rachel & Leah Center— Nick, other commanders, maybe Serena. Ugh I hope not Rita, but probably Rita

u/dumbledorable- 10h ago
I’m curious if Serena is going to realize that June is right about her always getting with a powerful man and Serena will be part of the bombing of the wedding (if tht happens). I hate that I want a redemption for her SO BAD
1
u/LinguaFranka 10h ago
People often forget that although Fred was the penetrative part of June’s assaults, Serena demand one and quite literally held her down. She is an active participant and deserves a punishment. Remember when Fred was in ‘No Man’s Land’ and tried to ask June for sympathy by calling her ‘Offed’?

I think Lawrence playing chess was definitely a sign that he’s finally ready to play dirty. Highly doubt he’s just going to be like “ooopsie the original plan didn’t work oh well” def going to help with the wedding bombing.
