I wish she'd stop going outside, the wolf scares me.

Yes

She's firing the shot gun to draw attention and get help

What is she doing???? Oh ok.

😪

Is she shooting to get help?

If that were me I think I’d have used that gun to shoot myself!

Oh poor June what an impossible choice.

I'm really starting to dislike the writers!

I'm wondering if the wolf is supposed to symbolise her mum?

I can’t help thinking that If serena has found her in labour she’d have been dragged/cut the baby out of her and left June to die.

There's not normally that much blood.

She had a bad bleed before. This isn't right.

I don't think we will ever find out if that wolf was real or in June's head. But it wasn't hurting her. She was taking something from it. Courage, comfort, something.

Perhaps it symbolised her desire to fight, and it's gone now she's had to call for help.

I don’t know why she didn’t try opening th garage door from the front to start with. Or did she realise the snow would make it hard in her labouring condition?

I hope they don't end this episode with her alone in the snow!!!

Have to say I am finding this episode incredibly frustrating. Good if she had to go back to the Waterford again think I will scream.

I think the wolf is symbolic of her mother? Wolves are pack animals, strong, powerful and maternal. The flashbacks she is having this episode are of her mum, and not coming to the birth of Hannah? Maybe it's her mums spirit making up for that, being there when it really matters. The wolf is slowly making its way closer to June but staying still and just looking, no sign of a threat at all.

I wonder who will rescue her, this isn't going to look good for the Waterford's

I so wanted her to get out and for the last few episodes about her finding Luke in Canada. Fuck.

Basically sacrificing her life to save her baby as she can't make it far losing that much blood and with a snowed in car stuck in the garage.

I think the wolf signified her fight and when she shot the gun for help it left her.

Maybe she can still have the baby and then get away... hopeful here...

Oh god she's still alone. I'm actually really nervous, it's like watching a bloody horror film!

I'm completely certain she's going back to the Wateford's this series.

I can't see that they will get this close to the end and have her escape.

Except perhaps in the very last episode, since they like to mirror-image things and she started the first episode with an escape. Maybe they will let her end the last one with an escape. Or a capture, if they don't get her back tonight.

She looked like she’s had a placental abruption.... and now she’s pushing?! She’d be dead by now, surely?!

This is making me cry

She did it!

Make sure that placenta comes out and get out of there as soon as you can.

I’m going to have to watch it again on plus one. I’ve been distracted by my work inbox... I don’t feel emotionally invested enough

June's mum wearing black in each flashback!

She called her after her mum.
