Natalie is rendered brain dead after the shooting and is placed on life support until her baby is born. As punishment for her role in engineering Natalie's humiliation and death, June is kept in the hospital room, praying on her knees, all day for weeks, under Aunt Lydia's orders. After over a month, June struggles with her mental state as well as her culpability in Natalie's death. June makes two mercy killing attempts on Natalie, but is stopped by Janine, who tells her that Natalie is one of them, and that June has become selfish. June attacks Serena when she visits the hospital and suffers cuts to her hand, but Serena does not reveal the attack. A sympathetic doctor stitches June's wounds, complimenting her for her bravery and June finds out he knew her mother. As Natalie's condition deteriorates, the doctors are forced to deliver her premature son by Caesarean section. In the hospital, June encounters a young girl who has reached menarche and wants to bear children. After the baby has been delivered, June is allowed to leave, but gets permission from Aunt Lydia to remain with Natalie in her final moments. June apologizes to the brain-dead Natalie for losing her way and tells her that her son is a fighter and vows to rescue as many children from Gilead as she can. Meanwhile, Aunt Lydia shows a softer side when she gifts Janine with an eye-patch to conceal her disfigured socket.
