So she tells Janine goodbye and leaves. When June and Janine are fighting to survive, the top commanders of Gilead, including Commander Lawrence and Commander Nick Blaine have come up with their own sinister plan. They plan to drop bombs in Chicago and 24 hours later, they want to call a ceasefire in an effort to begin trade talks with Canada.
