A new theory has been floating around the web, suggesting an unexpected ending for The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 — Janine and Charlotte (Angela) would reunite. Accordingly, fans have become curious about this theory and what it means for the series’ conclusion. For much of the series, fans have been wondering if the main question that is also the story’s driving force would be answered: “Will June save and reunite with Hannah (Agnes)?”
So will Janine and Charlotte find each other in the series‘ conclusion instead of June and Hannah reuniting? Here’s what we know about the theory.
Will Janine and Charlotte reunite instead of June and Hannah in The Handmaid’s Tale?
It remains to be seen whether Janine and Charlotte will reunite in The Handmaid’s Tale. Fans will only know for certain once the final stretch of episodes comes out.
The fan theory surrounding Janine and Charlotte’s reunion in The Handmaid’s Tale first seemingly showed up on Reddit. Here, the fan who came up with this theory posed a question pointing to Angela (Charlotte) being the key to the show’s real ending.
The fan then recounted the depth of Janine’s story explored on the show. They further noted how the series depicted Janine’s heartbreak, resilience, and love for Charlotte. Moreover, they also pointed out how Janine has found herself close to Charlotte, but under the safety of Lawrence’s household. The fan then concluded by opining that the series was setting up Janine and Charlotte’s eventual reunion and escape from Gilead.
“What if the show is setting up them Angela and Janine to be the ones who make it out? Together. Safe. Whole,” the fan added. “What if that’s the happy ending we didn’t even realize we needed?”
The fan then stated how Janine and Charlotte’s reunion would serve as a “powerful, full-circle moment.”
Many fans agreed with this theory and expressed their hope that it would come to fruition in the comments section.
