In the penultimate episode of 'The Handmaid's Tale', two characters, Nick and Commander Joseph Lawrence, were killed in a plane explosion. Comm. Lawrence deliberately boarded the plane to cause the explosion, and Nick accompanied him just before takeoff. June mourned the loss of her lover Nick and ally Lawrence. Both actors shared their reflections on their character’s deaths, highlighting the poignancy and depth of the storytelling. Minghella appreciated the inventive conclusion, and Whitford felt a deep emotional connection regarding his character's choices and the consequences of the oppressive regime.
"I felt like a grounded version of Nick, and what I was really impressed by was how much it was not what I thought it was going to be."
"It was really a blessed and wonderful way to finish, to have Lizzie directing my last scene in the show."
"I was very happy that Lawrence made the choice that he made; this poor kid is another victim of this hellscape that I created."
