The Waterfords, June, Rita and Aunt Lydia travel to Washington, D.C. to stay with the family of High Commander George Winslow and his wife Olivia. There, they meet with a delegation of Swiss diplomats who are seeking to negotiate between Gilead and Canada and prepare to take part in internationally broadcast mass prayers being held at the former Washington Monument that has now been turned into a giant cross, asking for the return of baby Nichole from Canada. Once there, both June and Aunt Lydia are shocked and appalled at how in Washington, the leadership caste has taken the rules of Gilead to shocking extremes: forcing all handmaids living there to be muzzled at all times in order to cover up small ring piercings used to permanently keep their mouths closed. The two bond, as Aunt Lydia tells June she believes that handmaids should not be silenced. Commander Winslow suggests to Fred that he may have a position for him in D.C. June reunites with Nick, who as a commander is now prepping military forces for the Chicago frontline against the rebels. June makes a deal with the Swiss to convince Nick to provide information on Gilead's power structure, however they reject talking to Nick upon obtaining information about unstated war crimes committed by him in the early days of the Gilead takeover. June and Serena later have an argument inside what used to be the Lincoln Memorial over Serena's change of heart regarding baby Nichole, and Serena reveals to June that Nick was a soldier in the crusade, implying that he was directly involved in the attacks on the White House and the Capitol. Afterwards, the Waterfords force June to lead thousands of handmaids massed along what used to be the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in a televised prayer for Nichole's return.
