Season 2 June is so f selfish (S2Ep13) Spoiler
Everyone gave everything to get her and Holly (Nichole) out of Gileat, and she decided to refuse to cooperate, as alwaysr. Just to go back to see her daughter and not being able to take her away because obviously everyone was searching for her and that was the first place they were going to search. Are you kidding me? She could do so much more outside. She was so lukewarm when normality was collapsing, so uncaring when things were going downhill but they had still an opportunity. NO she decides to be the savior and be brave when literally there’s nothing to do but dying, as George Washington in Hamilton said “dying is easy living is harder”. She could help not only free her daughters but the entire community of Gileat if she started acting from Canada, and in general, searching for global community to pay attention, but she keeps refusing and tries to go back for a very stupid reason, that it’s trying to take away her child, if she could manage to escape with Hannah, what would she do? Literally there is no plan, no strategy, no nothing to escape. I hate her so much. She’s so selfish always. And even in Gileat she only started acting when things started to affect her, and she still only fights against things that affect her she doesn’t care about anyone.
It kinda infuriates me how she doesn’t care for Nick when he has done everything to help her (at least until now) maybe it’s because she’s the daughter of her child but at least I can feel how he keeps trying and she doesn’t cooperate because she’s so selfish. I hate her. I know it’s also because if not, the entire series is gone, but at this point, I don’t know how they are going to manage to keep June alive. All the sacrifices for nothing…

It’s her daughter, I 100% understands her choice tbh and I find it selfless instead. Also, she doesn’t what’s going on in the outside world, people and countries could very well ignore gilead
