We see another moment that proves that all the Handmaids are in this together when none of them so much as ''hesitate'' to run to Ofandy and pull her into a giant group hug to comfort her. Even Ofmatthew, who often acts HolierThanThou to the others and is being iced out due to her ratting on June, rushes to join the hug.

* Though their relationship (or at least, Eleanor's situation and the way Commander Lawrence chooses to address it) is far from healthy, it's made clear that Commander Lawrence genuinely loves his wife. He's often at odds with June, but when he sees her positive influence, he outright asks her to keep Eleanor company. When they realize they have no choice but to do the Ceremony, he comforts the screaming Eleanor by gently begging her to be quiet, all while calling her "my love" over and over.

* Baby Holly Nichole and her godmother, Moira, have a strong bond, and despite not wanting to, Moira respects Luke's decision to take his stepdaughter to see Serena Joy. Before she leaves the baby for the supervised visit, however, she bluntly calls Serena out on helping Fred rape June, informs Serena that Fred raped her (Moira), too, and ends by saying, that heterosexual Serena who willingly helped create Gilead is the true traitor to their shared gender rather than lesbian her who had to do bad things in order to survive. June wanted her baby to be with her husband and best friend, and it's made clear her faith in them was not ill-placed.

** The border patrol officer who comes across them is the epitome of kindness. When she tries to scramble away from him, he speaks softly so that he can get close enough to wrap a space blanket around her, and then, he calmly and gently asks if she wants to seek asylum on the basis of her country persecuting her due to her gender. In what might be a bit of [[FridgeHorror fridge sadness]], he seems to be speaking from memory rather than reading a card; this could imply he's done this a lot. Keeping a non-threatening hand on her shoulder, he patiently waits for her to answer, and as soon as she says yes, she's barely gotten the word out before he's radioing for an ambulance equipped to handle a neonatal patient.
