[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6.]

Nick (Max Minghella) has always been June’s (Elisabeth Moss) blindspot in The Handmaid’s Tale. While he’s not outright evil like the commanders around him, he doesn’t do enough to try and stop the regime. His moments of rebellion are, as Minghella has described, inspired by his desire to see June more than anything else. Having a rebel commander in the ranks is a huge help to June and Mayday’s cause, but that’s only if secrets can be trusted with him. So far, they have been. But he spilled the details about the plot to attack commanders at Jezebel’s when his father-in-law, High Commander Gabriel Wharton (Josh Charles), threatened the information out of him.

This resulted in the murder of all the women in Jezebel’s except for Janine (Madeline Brewer). It was a crushing development for June, whose decision about what to do about this love triangle with Nick and her husband, Luke (O-T Fagbenle), had long been on the back burner. However, in the seventh episode of the final season, June realized she couldn’t go back to Nick after this. She and Luke decided that they’re not just together because of their daughter, Hannah (Jordana Blake), whom they’re still trying to rescue from Gilead. They’re going to try to repair their marriage after Gilead forced them to part from each other and their child, and after June fell in love with someone else.
