    At last

    Finely back to the gasps again. Loved it what on earth is going on.... This was heartbreaking for June she looks ready to pop a blood vessel. Can't wait to see what Serena is up too..

    One question

    Did Serena get the tape to Luke? Great episode but this is driving me crazy. I thought the tape was in her bag when she got on the plane to return home??

    This show pulls you in and never lets go.

    This is a great episode that made my jaw drop at the end. I can't wait another week to see what is next.

    Immersive wonderful episode!

    Elizabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski are wonderful girl power striking actresses! Along with the other episodes this one has beautifully lit cinematography and sound design; this season has been great! Every one of the crew members involved deserves respect for what they've achieved over the last 3 years, still going strong too.

    • Trivia
      Among the box of personal mix tapes June finds in the basement, reportedly made by Commander Lawrence for his wife when they were young, are cassettes labeled "Study Sounds," "Tuesday Tunes," "Shower Thoughts," "Love Songs By Lovers," "Your Smile Sings to Me," "Travel Tunes," "A Mix Tape Miasma," "For When You Miss Me," and "Ocean Swimming Music." The one June takes out to listen to is "My Magical Creature," and the first cut is Leo Sayer's "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," a Number One hit single in the U.S. on the Billboard chart in late 1976.
    • Goofs
      At 21:44 June places a cassette tape into a cassette player with the tape in the cassette on the right side which is the wrong side. The cassette would not play in this condition, and instead the play button would pop back up. In cassettes the tape starts on the left reel and as it plays is spun around the right reel. It's possible June might not have realized this, but she is not seen fixing the issue because the cassette still plays.

      June Osborne: [on a cassette tape] Luke. Hi. This is so weird. And I'm sorry; I'm sorry about that. But... there are some things that I need to tell you, that I couldn't before. I can't imagine what you thought when you met Nicole. But you were probably thinking a lot less about her journey across the border, and more about her journey into the world. It's not easy to tell you this... 'cause I am ashamed. I had to build a life here, of a sort. And you should too, you deserve a life, a full life, Luke. You deserve love. And you'll always have... you'll always have mine, but... I understand if you maybe need more than that. I need you to know that Nicole - she was born out of love. Her real name's Holly, and her... her father's a driver named Nick. You met him. He helped me to survive. I need to believe that you can forgive me. I'm not the woman you remember. She is part of me, and I'm doing what I need to to survive. You should, too. No, you have to. You have to for Hannah. It's all for her. This is all for her. I promise you, I'm trying to get to her. I promise. I love you. I love you.
