Janine’s Hidden Plot Twist in Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Shocks Fans

by

Title of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 5 is ‘Janine’. If a recent speculation holds true, this naming could potentially hint at a dramatic shift in the series’ conclusion.

In the concluding sixth season of the Hulu show, June’s prolonged struggle against Gilead appears set to reach its end. Alongside the Mayday resistance, they persist in their goal to demolish Gilead with the assistance of the US government operating clandestinely.

However, it’s important to note one concern: New Bethlehem. This supposedly “reformed” settlement, under the leadership of Commander Lawrence and now supported by Serena Joy, claims to provide safety for refugees and a gentler variant of Gilead. This gentler Gilead, in turn, is enhancing international relations.

But remember, Gilead’s original nature is questionable, so this “improvement” may not be as positive as it appears at first glance.

The Season 6 preview of The Handmaid’s Tale hints at an impending uprising, yet a longstanding query lingers – whether June will reunite with Hannah. A fresh hypothesis posits that we may have been focusing on the wrong question this whole time. [Warning: Book spoilers follow!]

Janine might be the key to The Handmaid’s Tale ending

Through the captivating narratives of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and its sequel “The Testaments,” we’ve come to understand that June and Luke may not manage to reclaim Hannah by the end of Season 6. However, an intriguing hypothesis posits that the ultimate aim could be for Janine to be reunited with Angela (also known as Charlotte).

In the role of a Handmaid under Commander Warren Putnam and his wife, Naomi, Janine gave birth to a child named Charlotte. The Putnams subsequently adopted her, changing her name to Angela. Since then, longing for her daughter, Janine has yearned for Charlotte.

As a dedicated fan, I’d rephrase it like this: Following my friends Lawrence’s marriage to Naomi (a turn of events that involved Nick and the tragic demise of Warren), he gifts me one of Angela’s drawings. In Season 6 Episode 5, I continue to hold dear this precious memento.

She further advised Aunt Lydia to step back, suggesting that the best assistance she could provide was by recovering her daughter. It’s possible, even probable, that this could be the main plot line of the Hulu series.

On Reddit, a fan proposed an intriguing idea: “Perhaps we’ve been searching in the wrong place all along?

Everyone seems fixated on rescuing Hannah and everyone’s clinging to the hope she’ll be saved, given our affection for June’s reunion. Yet, could it be that this isn’t where the real conclusion unfolds? (The Testaments hint at a different ending… hopes alone may not suffice!)

Could it be that Angela is the one? Could it be that Angela has been the central figure in Janine’s story all along? Take a moment to consider this, as Janine’s narrative seems to run particularly deep with references to Angela – her pain, her strength, and her undying affection for her.

Now, it seems she finds herself near her once more, partly protected under Lawrence’s residence. It feels as though everything is aligning perfectly.

Could it be that the series is subtly suggesting a survival duo of Angela and Janine, leaving safely and intact? Perhaps this unforeseen resolution could be the heartwarming conclusion we never knew we were hoping for?

They further mentioned that, although uncertain if it’ll happen, it could be an incredibly symbolic and complete cycle for Janine – one that resonates not only with her but also with everyone who has witnessed her experience cycles of breaking and rebuilding numerous times.

If the stories in The Testaments series began without a somewhat joyful conclusion, it might feel overwhelmingly sad to start reading them.

Many people are advocating for this concept, with one individual expressing, “I truly hope this becomes a reality. Janine is my ultimate favorite character, and I can’t help but wish for her to experience a contented conclusion.

However, another pointed out, “Atwood is not famous for happy endings.” 

Does June get Hannah back in The Handmaid’s Tale book?

It appears that by the conclusion of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Hannah continues to reside in Gilead under the name Agnes, with Commander Kyle and Tabitha as her parents. This suggests a slim possibility that June might reunite with her daughter, Hannah, before the end of Season 6.

In the 2019 sequel novel “The Testaments,” they find themselves together again. This book is now being transformed into a television series spinoff, and filming is scheduled to begin on April 7, 2025.

Among the primary storytellers in “The Testaments” is Agnes. Born and brought up within Gilead, she remains oblivious of her true background until much later in the novel. Besides Agnes, we also encounter Daisy, a Canadian-raised teenager who is eventually disclosed to be June’s second daughter.

At the conclusion of the book, Agnes and Nicole manage to flee from Gilead side by side. It’s disclosed later on that they are both June’s offspring. In the last chapter, they make their way back to Canada and reconnect with their mom.

Indeed, the Hulu version of the original tale has introduced several alterations, one of which involves Janine and her child, Angela, who unfortunately does not make it past birth due to complications from birth defects.

In a change from the usual plotline, there’s a possibility that Angela and Janine may come together again in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6, offering the satisfying resolution we’ve been hoping for.
