What made you cry?

Indeed. Very powerful but tragic ep.

I was glad to get some Luke in this episode. He is very cute and the scenes with him and June were pretty sweet, but he was married? AT least he said he would leave his wife... And I will say their sex scene was hottttt.

I actually didn't hate the scenes between the commander and June at first. Him playing scrabble with her and giving her magazines is a nice little break from that world. I liked when he said the whole ceremony was impersonal and she said "you think?" It's cool that she can talk candidly with him. But he also doesn't have to force her into this every month. And then his true colors finally showed when he started talking about Ofglen and had that evil air with her. I think she finally realized how bad he was.

I have to say, I was actually excited to learn about the wive's plans to have Nick and June sleep together. Even though its messed up, I like Nick. And to hear he had already agreed, that was sdfdsfdsfs IDK. It made my heart flutter a bit, even though if it were a gross guy it would have been completely different. But I like the idea that he wants to help her and also that it would be his baby if she got pregnant.

The scene itself was just SO INCREDIBLY AWKWARD with the wife just in there watching. EESH I was gonna have a heart attack having to watch that. But her little touch on his arm was cute? IDK what to feel . And then finding out he was an eye wasn't that shocking because so many of these people are forced into these lives. But what exactly does it mean? Does he have to snitch on people?

It's a little strange that June was able to see Ofglen (Emily) again because you would think they would transfer her somewhere far away? How big is this whole place that they live in? All of the US? The new Ofglen sucks. But it seems that Emily was placed in a better home this time? At least the wife seemed kinder. When she drove off, ugh, my heart sank because I knew it wasn't going to end well for her.

OMFG THAT ENDING SCNE I CANNOT SDFDSFSFDSFDS. THAT WAS LIKE THE HOTTEST SCENE EVER HOLY CRAPOLAAAAAA. I hate that I have to go to bed because now I wanna know what happens next oh lordy....
