Story[]
Season Five[]
Allegiance[]
Emma's father is tasked to command a raid of Hannah's wife school in Colorado Springs. As June objects that the girls in there will be terrified, Vance offers reassurance by way of telling them about his own daughter, Emma. We later learn that Gilead anticipated the mission and took down all three planes as soon as they crossed the border, and there were no survivors.
At a vigil for the victims of the failed mission, Tuello reads the names of the dead, among them Commander Vance, with anti-refugee protesters shouting angrily who have ringed the gathering. Emma recites the Pledge of Allegiance; when she falters, June steps up to help. They’re almost at the end of the oath when someone shoots at them. June dives on top of the girl to shield her, bullets ripping into the flag that’s hanging behind them.
