word of advice : contain plunderer for The Handmaid ’s Tale season 6 , episode 4 and The Testaments !
The Handmaid ’s Taleis nearing its end with season 6 , and while one of the most popular theory posit that Nick will croak while essay to pull through Hannah , I ’m start to think that it will be Luke or else . Saving Hannah has been June ’s main goalever since she run Gilead , and after several season of trying , she and Luke are no closer to saving their girl . Thus , the characters inThe Handmaid ’s Talewill undoubtedly take some drastic measures inThe Handmaid ’s Taleseason 6 , and I ’m worried that it may cost Luke his life .
The Handmaid ’s Taleseason 6 , episode 4is out now , with the first four episodes only rig the stage for what is to come in the Hulu show ’s last time of year . After go into Gilead in the first three episodes , June , Moira , and Luke are already discuss run short back , only an episode after making it to guard . They know that they have to make some big moves so as to save Hannah and take down Gilead , as the theocratic nation is making waves across the world . While there is still promise , it is starting to look like June and Luke ’s fight may not terminate well for them .

Thus , manyThe Handmaid ’s Talefans have expected thatNick will die before the show is over , with his traitorous bodily process becoming come across .
Interestingly , the account ofThe Handmaid ’s Taleseason 6 has made this hypothesis seem less likely . Throughout the first four episode , most of the Commanders have been occupy withCommander Lawrence ’s New Bethlehem labor , with the villains being mostly removed from June and Mayday ’s actions . UnlessThe Handmaid ’s Talechanges course quickly , Nick could end up being safe at the end of the show . He does n’t seem to be need with any upcoming plans to save Hannah , something that could economize his aliveness .

Luke Wants To Be The One Trying To Save Hannah From Gilead
Putting Himself In Danger
Luke seems to be more involved in the attempts to rescue Hannah than ever , as is signaled by his conversations inThe Handmaid ’s Taleseason 6 , episode 4 . antecedently , Luke was on the avocation , with the U.S. government and Mayday being on the front lines . After the failure of the plane rescue inThe Handmaid ’s Taleseason 5 , however , Luke seems to have changed his tone . He wants to be the one going into Gilead to save Hannah , with him plain state " we capture ta try " in episode 4 .
In the same installment , Luke recognizes that salvage Hannah is an " impossible pipe dream . " This does n’t think of that Luke is not go to seek . rather , it have in mind that Luke discern that his odds of run out are much high than his odds of follow . Luke very well could continue trying to save Hannah until he dies try , which would be a tragical closing forThe Handmaid ’s Tale .
Luke Dying Makes Sense For The Handmaid’s Tale
More Than June Dying
Luke ’s death may be tragic , but it actually makes sense forThe Handmaid ’s Tale . Although June could die , it would n’t be as full of a determination for the show . It would be an underwhelming goal to June ’s floor after years of battle , as she never get to be happy , even if she succeeded . However , not kill anyone off also does n’t make mother wit . It would be weird for June to get everything she wants at the death ofThe Handmaid ’s Tale , asit would be unjust to the many dupe of Gilead who have recede everything .
rather , kill off Luke strikes a perfect balance . Luke is amain character inThe Handmaid ’s Tale , and arguably the most important person to June . Thus , his death would have a heavy emotional impingement on June and the audience , make a true tragical loss at the closing of the show . If Luke break down while carry through Hannah , he will at least have a good sense of triumph before he dies . However , it will still be sad due to him waiting for June for all that clock time .
Will Luke Get Hannah Out Of Gilead?
Unfortunately, It Doesn’t Seem Likely
Tragically , Luke will belike not succeed in getting Hannah out of Gilead . Hulu has already started play on aThe Handmaid ’s Talesequel titledThe Testaments , with it being based on Margaret Atwood ’s 2019 sequel novel . The book takes place several year after the events ofThe Handmaid ’s Tale , with Hannah still living in Gilead . Thus , Hannah has to continue there at the end ofThe Handmaid ’s Tale , asThe Testamentswouldn’t operate if she escaped .
Aunt Lydia will play a major character in Hulu ’s The Testaments spinoff show , and The Handmaid ’s Tale season 6 is already setting this story up .
This sets up a tragic end toThe Handmaid ’s Tale , as June will probably not get what she want . If Luke does conk out , this would will June especially alone , as she will have mislay her husband and her first child . The Handmaid ’s Talehas always been depressing , but this ending could make thing even worse .
