Commander Monroe attempts to conduct the Ceremony with his wife Emma and his new handmaid, Janine (Ofdaniel). Janine, however, is experiencing severe difficulties adjusting to both her new surroundings and the loss of her daughter to Commander Putnam and his wife, and pushes Daniel away, reverting to a child-like state and insisting that "he" (Warren) is coming for her.

Monroe's status in the aftermath of the attack on the new Rachel and Leah Center is unknown, although he may have been one of the twenty-six Commanders killed.[1]
