*** ISILUMKISO SOMXHOLO: Esi sithuba sixoxa ngesiza sexesha lesi-4, isiqendu se-7 Ekhaya. Esi sithuba sixoxa ngodlwengulo kunye nokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo.
Emva kweminyaka esixhenxe yokubandezeleka ezandleni zaseGiliyadi, emva kokubaleka kufutshane kunye nemizuzu yokugqibela kunye nesikhephe somkhosi kaThixo, uJuni Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) ekugqibeleni wehlela eCanada. Sisiphelo esinethemba nesilwelwe nzima kuhambo lomlinganiswa olunyamezelayo olumbonayo edibana nomhlobo wakhe osenyongweni uMoira (Samira Wiley), umyeni ohlukanisiweyo noLuka (O. T. Fagbenle), kunye nentombazana yakhe encinci uNichole.
Ingumzuzu we-catharsis enkulu kubabukeli, abaye baphoxeka ngumboniso ogcine uJuni kwivili le-hamster lokubandezeleka kunye nokuhlushwa amaxesha amane ngoku. Uninzi lwabalandeli (nam ndibandakanyile) ndilugxekile uthotho ngokuxhoma isithembiso saseKhanada amatyeli amaninzi ukuze uJuni angale kwaye abuyele eWaterfords ukuze ohlwaywe ngakumbi.
Kodwa yonke into yahlukile ngoku: ukusukela ngethuba uJuni ebeka unxweme lwegolide lwaseToronto, efumana ukuphazamiseka kwenkcubeko. Eyona nto iphambili ekubalulekeni kwezinto zobuntlola kunye neqhawe lomntu, ukhutshelwa ehotele yeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu ukuze anyangwe. Kwaye ukufika kukaJuni kuza notshintsho olukhulu kuthotho ngokwalo kunye nokuseta ixesha elide kwetafile. Abalinganiswa abaphambili bonke baphinde bahlangana eCanada, kubandakanya uFred (uJoseph Fiennes) kunye noSerena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski) abavalelwe entolongweni kwaye balindele ukuxoxwa kwetyala labo. Kuluhlu oludla ngokugxekwa ngokujikeleza iivili zalo, Ibali lesicakakazi Ekugqibeleni (ekugqibeleni!) uxelela ibali elitsha.
Kodwa ngelixa uJuni ebalekile kwinto eyayisakuba yiMelika, iGiliyadi isekhona ngaphakathi kuye. UJuni uchithe iminyaka esixhenxe yokugqibela yobomi bakhe kumzabalazo oqhubekayo wokuphila, enyamezele ukuhlaselwa ngokwesini, ukubethwa, ukungcungcuthekiswa, nokubukela izihlobo zakhe kunye nabo babulawa phambi kwamehlo akhe. Ngoku ukuba ufikile eCanada kwaye akasasukelwa, i-PTSD kunye noxinzelelo lwayo luza ngesikhukula kwindawo ephambili. Uhambo oluya evenkileni lubangela ukubonwa kwaseGiliyadi.
Kwaye ngelixa uJuni ehlangana kwakhona nosapho, uziva elilolo yedwa. U-Luke no-Moira, abachithe unyaka ophelileyo njengo-Nichole wokuba ngumzali, baye bavelisa i-platonic kodwa ishunqulelo esisondeleyo omnye nomnye, ngoJuni owasetyhini ongaqhelekanga. UJune naye uyasokola ukunxibelelana noLuka, kwaye akanako ukuzizisela ukumxelela ngexesha lokugqibela wabona intombi yabo uHana, owayengamazi kwaye esoyika umama wakhe. UJuni uphethe ityala elikhulu ngokungakwazi ukusindisa uHana, kunye netyala alithweleyo kubo bonke abakwaMarthas kunye nabakhonzazana abaswelekileyo ukumkhusela.
I-whiplash yeemvakalelo zeemeko zakhe yeza entloko xa uJuni efumanisa ukuba uSerena Joy ukhulelwe. Into engaphakathi kuye, kwaye uququzelela utyelelo lwasebusuku kwisisele sikaSerena ukuze ajongane nayo (ibar esecaleni: kutheni iiseli ezibambe iWaterfords zibabazeke kangaka? Kwaye banokufikelela kwizikipa ze-cashmere?! eCanada, akunjalo? Ukuba bakho abantu baseKhanada abafundayo, nceda undazise kumagqabantshintshi).
UJuni ujongene noSerena, oqubuda phambi kukaJuni, ecela ukuxolelwa. UJuni uyamgxeka kukhululo lomsindo kunye nomsindo ekudala ulindelwe. Ubiza uSerena ngokumosha ubomi bakhe, evutha ngumsindo Ngaba uyazi ukuba kutheni uThixo emithisile? Ukuze xa ebulala olo sana esibelekweni sakho, uyakuziva iqaqobana leentlungu osibangele zona xa waqwenga abantwana bethu ezingalweni zethu. Emva koko ume phezu kukaSerena oyikayo ekhwaza Uyandiqonda ?! ekutshintsheni isoyikiso esifanayo sikaSerena kumaxesha kaJuni adlulileyo.
Ngumzuzu ekudala ulindelwe, ukubona uJuni ekugqibeleni ephethe amandla phezu kukaSerena kwaye emncoma ngenxa yezono zakhe ezininzi. Kwaye kuyanelisa ngokunzulu ngokunjalo, ngenxa yemidlalo emangalisayo kaMoss neStrahovski.
Kodwa ke kuza umzuzu okhohlakeleyo ngokwenyani kuthotho ngaphandle kokunqongophala kwabo. UJuni ubuyela ekhaya, ephezulu ekukhuphukeni kukaSerena Joy. Uyakhwela ebhedini noLuka, kwaye aqalise ngesondo. Uqhankqalaza kwaye athi yima amatyeli amaninzi, kodwa uJune ubambe isandla sakhe kwaye avale umlomo, angahoyi izicelo zakhe.
Ukhetho lokuba ahlasele umyeni wakhe ngokwesondo ngoJuni ngumzuzu wobumnyama kwaye ophazamisayo. Kodwa okubuhlungu kukuba, ayikholeleki. Olu chungechunge luye lwathatha ukuba abantu abenzakalise abantu abenzakalise abantu baphathe kakubi nangakumbi. Ubumnyama bukaJuni yinto esakhe sayibona ihlolisisiwe ngaphambili: emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ubulele abantu, kwaye inkulumbuso yechungechunge yambona ekhuthaza intombazana eneminyaka eli-14 ubudala ukuba igwaze umdlwenguli wayo. Iminyaka esixhenxe yokuhlaselwa kunye nokuhlukunyezwa ijijile uJuni kwinguqulelo embi kuye, emenza ukuba angaziwa ukusuka ngoJuni wangaphambi koko. Kodwa nangona uninzi lwezikreqo zikaJuni zinokuxolelwa yintando yakhe yokuphila, le ijolise kumntu athi uyamthanda, umntu ongenguye umakhi wengcinezelo yakhe.
Ikwangumbuzo wokuba yintoni eza kwenzeka ngoJuni. Ngaba izenzo zakhe ezoyikekayo ziyaxolelwa okanye ngaba utshintshiwe ngokusisiseko njengomntu kangangokuba angabinako ukusindiswa? Ukuba uthotho lubeka uJuni kwindawo engendawo, oko kuthetha ntoni ngekamva lomboniso? Imizuzu yokugqibela yesiqendu yabona uJuni echaza uSerena Joy, xa wayenokuzichaza ngokulula: Unengxaki. Uyintlalontle. Unetyhefu kwaye uyahlukumeza. Uligongqongqo. UJuni uphela, ke ukuba uziva ungena kuye, baleka. Balekela ubomi bakho.
Zininzi iidrama zodumo ezithi zihlolisise indoda ngokuthe ngcembe iye kwi-villainy (molo uWalter White), kodwa abafazi kunqabile ukuba banikwe eyabo. Ixesha liza kuxela ukuba ingaba lo ngumzuzu kaJoker kaJoker okanye ezantsi elulwalweni. Kodwa ukwazi Ibali lesicakakazi , kuhlala kukho ubunzulu obumnyama ngakumbi ukutshona.
