WARNING: This article contains significant spoilers from The Handmaid's Tale season 6

This week's episode of The Handmaid's Tale saw June Osborne (portrayed by Elisabeth Moss) and Moira (Samira Wiley) devising a plan to infiltrate Jezebel's.

The pair found themselves at odds, with June hesitant about her friend returning to the brothel.

In the meantime, audiences witnessed Janine being coerced into prostitution at Jezebel's after serving as a handmaid, her current occupation proving no better than her previous one.

She was entirely at the mercy of the commanders, especially Commander Bell (Timothy Simons), who had developed a dangerous obsession with her, reports the Mirror US.

Commander Bell was consumed with jealousy when he suspected Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) was sleeping with Janine.

Numerous fans have since taken to Reddit to speculate a grim future for Janine, who is desperate to reunite with her daughter.

One viewer speculated on Reddit: "Military operation at Jezebel's. Liberation for Janine?"

Another suggested: "Next episode is titled Janine so my guess is they will either liberate her or she will die and become a Martyr [sic]."

A third proposed: "Joseph Lawrence told Janine that her daughter has a good life. Almost like a final goodbye.

"I don't like that at all. Is that foreshadowing. Is Janine going to die in the middle of trying to get her out?".

"Gonna lose my mind if she's trying to escape not knowing June and Moira are there to save her and she dies [sic]," a fourth penned.

One viewer ominously penned: "I cannot imagine a world in which Janine has a happy ending...."

Another speculated: "What are the odds that Janine doesn't survive and somehow Naomi doesn't but Joseph Lawrence gets out and ends up raising Angela himself out of guilt and being the best goddamn father ever [sic]."

Some fans pleaded for a positive outcome for Janine, with one posting: "I hope they get Janine out" a sentiment echoed by another: "They better get my girl Janine out".

On X (formerly Twitter), more viewers shared their thoughts on the character. One stated: "All I want is for Janine to stab Jonah Ryan in the face. Respectfully. #TheHandmaidsTale." The post was a reference to actor Simons' character in Veep.

Another remarked after watching episode four: "Just watched Ep.04. Something tells me Commander Lawrence might not make it to the final episodes. He just better save Janine first! #TheHandmaidsTale [sic].

"JANINE BETTER SURVIVE THIS SEASON #TheHandmaidsTale [sic]," demanded another.

With this being the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, the stakes have never been higher, and any character could meet their end.

Margaret Atwood's 2019 sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, discloses the fate of some characters, but Janine seems largely overlooked.

This suggests that Janine's destiny remains uncertain and could swing either way in the Hulu series.

The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 will be coming to Prime Video on May 3 and Channel 4 later in 2025 in the UK
