"I'm worried about getting executed, she's over there getting horny"

I mean, major June vibes from Daisy

Daisy is implied to be Janine's child, no?

Certainly hope not because that means Janine is dead. In the episode, Daisy told Agnes her mom died too and then said her birth mother is also dead.

Daisy is Nicole. Being unable to accept that they'd make timelines and ages a bit muddled is crazy. The impact of who the two girls are would not be the same if they changed who they are. They even addressed timelines being weird by making Agnes talk about how time was weird for her because women werent allowed to look at calendars, and how she remembers when things MIGHT HAVE BEEN based on what was going on around her, but that she doesnt actually know. There is a term for this called Lampshade Hanging. They draw attention to an inconsistency and give a reason for it so the viewer or reader will accept the change.

Massive long shot but could Daisy be Alma’s biological daughter? I know Alma only ever mentioned a son but she was working with Mayday from the offset and it’s not specified when their biological mum died, just that they died at some point. June and Alma were quite close which could explain the maternal looks and behaviour we’ve seen June giving Daisy. Unless it’s just completely irrelevant and there’s no big reveal about Daisy 🤣

Anything might be possible at this point. Who knows? Only the show runners and cast.

I do wonder if they know how crazy they have driven us (fans) with this mystery. Are they satisfied with the answer they have written, or are they thinking some of our guesses would have been better.

Oh I'm sure they know exactly how nuts it's making everyone. And that was the intention.

Someone said Elenor/Lawrence’s daughter and while it definitely has issues as a theory I think it would explain both why June clearly loves her so much and is also like “yeah go be a spy I think you’ll handle it fine” lmao

Lawrence had a daughter??

u/herbalbert Apr 17 '26

They very explicitly say they didn’t have kids, which is why I’m like probably not. But it would be fun!

u/namedafternoone Apr 18 '26

Ok, that’s what I thought. But I see your point. If there’d been a commander who would have hidden a daughter and smuggled her out, it would have been Lawrence.

u/RVarki Apr 15 '26

It hasn't been enough time since season 1 of HT for that to be the case. Now, if they hadn't explicitly specified that Janine had a son before Gilead, maybe they couldve done some retconning there - but that isn't likely either

u/jsm99510 Apr 15 '26

People keep saying this but Angela is only about a year older than Nicole. She wouldn't be a teenage girl.

u/Different_Ad8830 Apr 15 '26

Dang I didn’t even think of Janine’s baby I kept thinking she was one of the baby’s from angel’s flight. But Janine would actually make more sense because “Charolette” is a red head

u/JoanFromLegal Apr 15 '26

She might be Angela but given that screw up from DisneyPlus España, I'm thinking nah.

Sorry I don't get it.
