Episode five Chicago, saw June and Janine go to the city to join a rebellious group who were using weapons to fight back against Gilead.

Tragedy soon struck when they were out in the open air though as they got caught up in a bombing which had been orchestrated by Nick (Max Minghella).
Frightened for their lives, June and Janine ran but the next time we saw June, she was on the ground and confused by what had happened.
She couldn’t find Janine but out of nowhere appeared her best friend Moira (Samira Wiley) who helped her out of the danger zone.
Unfortunately, Janine was nowhere to be seen, leaving many worried that she has been killed off.
When speaking to The Wrap, actress Madeline Brewer wasn’t willing to give anything away.
She said: “Who is to say whether or not it was a fatal choice? I will not say.
“But the fact that Janine made a choice based on just herself and what she thought would be best for herself.
“She even says: ‘I feel safer when we’re together.’
“I think she made a choice based on the fact that she loves June, she does. She loves her like a sister, like a friend, like her own blood.”
