** This is arguably passed back and forth: Why fly to Toronto when the fastest routes out of Gilead's airspace would either cross over Montreal (heading north over New Hampshire/Vermont) or Halifax? A reasonably direct path to Montreal gets you out of Gilead's airspace in about 180-200 miles (via the border between NH/VT and QC), while Halifax is around 150-160 miles (at sea about halfway to Nova Scotia). Going directly to Toronto would cover 275-300 miles before hitting the border.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Boston residents will consider the location of the standoff with the Guardians as literally impossible. Logan Airport is actually surrounded by water on three sides (being located close to the ocean), and while there is a residential area on the northwest side of the airport, it is complicated by two issues. First, if June is able to "see" the plane taking off overhead, it would mean that the forest that June was hiding in is in the flight path. Only one runway satisfies this criteria (running northwest), but there is no forested area northwest of the airport. The second issue is the location of the surface-level Subway line which runs on the northwest boundary of the airport. Other than a subway station and a few street crossings, it is literally impossible to cross this subway line out of sight, and using any one of these crossings risks an unwanted sighting. Furthermore, no other airport is possible considering that the Lawrences live near one of the subway lines (June and Eleanor having used the "T" to get to Brookline in Episode 7) and no other airport (large enough to support a Boeing 737) other than Logan is within plausible walking distance of any subway line (even if the group had to walk for hours to reach the airport).

* WeNeedADistraction: With the path to the airplane blocked by several Gilead guardians, June decides to go in alone to draw the guards to her position so the children can access the plane. She is soon joined by other handmaids and Marthas in throwing stones at the guards. This allows the children and the remaining Marthas (including Rita) to easily cross the road to access the plane.

Not to mention the DiggingYourselfDeeper conversation that follows: she doesn't realize that Fred (not a particularly reliable witness) had set her up, and that she accidentally refers to June as Offred, all but cementing her role in forcing Nick and June to have sex to conceive Nichole in the first place. [[spoiler: It should be pointed out that the Americans likely already knew about Nichole's true parentage given that the tape given to Luke in "Unknown Caller" was likely given to Mark Tuello as evidence, but they didn't exactly know of the context of the relationship between June and Nick.]]
