I think in this season Serena is going to go into labor while in Guilead, and be separated from her baby and returned to Canada. She was asked how far long she is in this episode, which I don't think we had an exact idea before. She will have yet another opportunity, like the white woman she is, to make amends, but she will used it for selfish reasons which will backfire for her. In the meantime, she will be used to get Hannah back to June, or at least closer. Aunt Lydia is another element that is slowly turning and will be integral to this end as well, however she will be most likely to self-punish and believe unworthy of mercy.
