She is now on a mission to save every child in Gilead and help then move to Canada to secure a better future for them. Meanwhile, the lead antagonists of the show Commander Waterford and Serena Joy are captured by authorities in Canada, due to the war crimes and acts of human rights violation committed by them. 

It is also revealed to the authorities that Nicole is not Fred’s biological daughter, and her real father is Nick. Hence it is evident by Season 3 ending and The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 trailer that the resistance in Gilead is going to intensify. The Handmaid’s and the other oppressed groups will surely get together to crush the totalitarian state.
