      Nick Blaine: We should just... run away somewhere. Start over. A real family.

      June Osborne: Where would we go?

      Nick Blaine: Out west. Coast.

      June Osborne: It's still Gilead.

      Nick Blaine: Hawaii, then.

      June Osborne: Maui. She's gonna love the beach.

      Nick Blaine: Heh. She'll play in the sun.

      June Osborne: She's gonna try to eat the sand.

      Nick Blaine: She is?

      June Osborne: Yeah. All kids do it.

      Nick Blaine: She won't; she's too smart, like her mom.

    Painful to watch to say the least! I could deal with some things beforehand but this episode was too much pain to watch!
