3. Luke & Nick's First Meeting

It wasn't just Commander Waterford that Luke comes face to face with in Smart Power, as he also meets Nick. The Gilead driver tracks Luke down to give him the letters that June had received via Mayday. But Luke is inquisitive over June's wellbeing, and Nick deliberates over how much he should tell him.

In the end, Nick avoids mentioning that he's been sleeping with June (because that would've been awkward to say the least). Good call, Nick. But he does promise to give her a message from Luke.

It's a pretty nice scene. For the longest time, the Canada arc and the Gilead arc have felt like two completely different TV series', so seeing these two characters sharing a scene together was rather surreal.
