Offred continues to think how she tried to escape over the Canadian border with her daughter and Luke. When they reached the border, they handed over their fake passports and waited nervously. They observe the border guard pick up the telephone and call someone, an act which is enough to force Luke into action. Filled with fear and suspicion, they drive into the woods where they got out of the car and started running. These memories mesmerize Offred as she tries to think about a time when she was in love and how it was valuable and difficult at the same time. She wonders about what happened to Luke, if he was dead in the woods and what she was supposed to do. Then, someone knocks at the door interrupting her thoughts. Offred is surprised to discover that it is Serena, who comes in and shows Offred a photograph of her daughter – a photograph that brings as much sadness as joy, feeling that her daughter wouldn’t be able to recognize her at all since she is not around to take care of her.
