Escaping Gilead! The Handmaid's Tale Podcast (Episode 603)

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Episode 3, “Devotion,” brings the action, the politics, and the heartbreak. Hosts Paul and Caroline are back to unpack it all in our latest podcast episode.

This time, June and Nick join forces on a high-stakes mission: rescuing Luke and Moira, who are trapped in no man’s land after their work with Mayday draws the deadly attention of Gilead’s guardian patrols. The tension is thick, and the emotional stakes are even higher.

Meanwhile, in New Bethlehem, Commander Lawrence and Serena Joy begin their uneasy alliance as they host international delegates. The goal? Repatriate American refugees back to Gilead—under the pretense of safety and peace. But can such a place ever truly be safe?

And back in the heart of Gilead, Aunt Lydia makes a devastating discovery: Janine has been sent to Jezebels. For Lydia, it’s a cruel betrayal of everything she believed about Janine’s value—and a sign that the system she’s long upheld may be more broken than she can justify.

In this podcast episode, we explore the theme of devotion—to people, causes, and institutions—and how that devotion is tested at every turn. With thrilling rescues, shifting alliances, and moral reckoning, “Devotion” delivers a heavy, layered hour of television.
