It was a long time coming, but karma finally paid Commander Fred Waterford a visit in the form of a group of blood-thirsty handmaid's out for revenge - lead, of course, by June herself.
Notifying his pregnant estranged wife by way of his dismembered ring finger with wedding band and all in an envelope, season 5 sets out to see the fallout of June's murderous spree. And if the promotions are anything to go by, June and Serena will once again come face to face, especially as Serena hints at using daughter, Hannah, as ammunition.
With Gilead out to stop June once and for all - and with season 6 confirmed to be the show's last - there is plenty of damage still to be done.
