In The Handmaid's Tale Season 6 Episode 4, “Promotion,” sees the battle lines blur as loyalties shift, personal stakes rise, and unexpected reunions shake long-held beliefs. Paul and Caroline are back on the podcast to unpack every twist.
In this episode, June finds out just how deep Luke and Moira have gotten with Mayday. They’re not just helping—they’re leading an upcoming bombing operation. June begs them to leave with her, to put safety first and return to Alaska—but when they won’t, she takes matters into her own hands. She forces her way into their plans, determined to protect them, even if it means pushing them away.

Meanwhile in Gilead, Commander Lawrence receives a career-defining promotion to High Commander. His celebration takes place at Jezebels—darkly ironic, given the setting. There, he shares a quiet, emotional moment with Janine, offering her a drawing from her daughter Angela. It’s a rare crack in the armor for both of them.
Over in New Bethlehem, Rita reenters the picture, bringing her quiet strength to Nick’s doorstep. She needs his help smuggling her family out of Gilead, and the only way may be through the cracks in Lawrence’s new kingdom.
