The Handmaid’s Tale returned to Channel 4 this evening and saw the aftermath of June’s (played by Elisabeth Moss) return to Gilead.
But the last viewers saw of Emily (Alexis Bledel) she was venturing to Canada with June’s daughter, Holly.
However it wasn’t an easy journey for her, as she came up against a number of Gilead officers trying to get her back.
And in the final moments of her journey, Emily was faced with a river in the middle of the night, coupled with a raging storm.
Despite the harrowing circumstances, Emily pressed on to the great white north, and even dove into the water to save herself and her friend’s child.
After getting caught in one of the waves, Emily struggled to stay afloat.
Once she reached shore once again she thought Holly had stopped breathing - but thankfully she started crying. However the noise attracted a number of police officers to her location.
But at the last second, the officers revealed they were Canadian, confirming her safety.
The tense turn of events were enough to leave fans in turmoil, as they emotionally spoke out on Twitter, with one writing: “How am I here crying over the #HandmaidsTale tale,” with a lot of crying emojis.
