June gives testimony against the Waterfords at the International Criminal Court and leaves after cross-examination by the defense attorney. Luke observes the court proceedings to better understand what June has gone through, despite June's wish that he not attend. At the hearing, Fred states that the Waterford's actions in Gilead led to the amelioration of the global fertility crisis. In a therapy session for former handmaids, Irene, a former Aunt, requests to speak with Emily, but she rebuffs her. June later invites Irene to come to the therapy session, where it is revealed that she informed the Eyes of Emily's relationship with a Martha, which caused her to be mutilated. Irene asks Emily for forgiveness for her behavior in Gilead, but Emily refuses, along with her offer for reparation. Moira later convinces Emily to speak to Irene privately and get her to testify in court, but when Emily drives to Irene's house, she discovers that Irene has committed suicide by hanging herself. In the next therapy session, Emily is indifferent to Irene's demise. June tells Luke about her last meeting with Hannah. As the Waterfords prepare for the next court day, they are greeted by a large contingent of pro-Gilead supporters. Meanwhile in Gilead, Aunt Lydia is reprimanded by Lawrence for her aggressive behavior and he places the recaptured Janine in Aunt Lydia's care. Janine begs not be made a handmaid again, but Aunt Lydia just embraces her.
