Nick X June - Blog Posts

here. this.

There are so many things to love about the Nick and June scene this episode. I, for one, was worried that Nick was never going to be able to hold his baby so I was relieved that he gets to hold Holly

I also love the parallel of this scene to when June tells Nick she’s pregnant in 1x10

Their absolute adoration of their daughter and their genuine happiness at being together with her alone in a moment without Fred, without Serena

June finally, finally verbalizing that she loves Nick

But also, I love that they’re both feeling this love and joy and they’re both processing it differently. June is just letting herself be in that moment with no guilt or reservations or self-admonishment. She’s with a man she’s in love and their child and she’s happy and in that moment carefree

and it took her a while to get to that space

whereas Nick is so happy and so in love and he realizes that neither June nor Holly can stay there

he’s making a plan in his head at that exact moment, he’s going to do everything in his power to ensure that neither of them perish in that house and in GIlead

and he’s saying goodbye
