The Commander's controlling relationship with June was a central part of the first season, that's for sure, but having it come back into play in First Blood is pretty frustrating. We get it, the men of Gilead treat their women like possessions, but does Fred's infatuation with June really need to be explored once more?

Probably not. But, then again, it's too early to judge. After all, June did manage to delay Fred from acting on his lust, but how long can she keep him at bay?

It would be great if June uses Fred to get to Serena. Now that would be very interesting.
