(played by the marvelous Bradley Whitfield) gives Handmaid June a package of BC pills, after they are forced to perform The Ceremony and prove to a doctor that it was consummated. Presumably June knows that the "morning after pill" is a high-dose BCP, so Commander Lawrence was protecting June from him impregnating her.
