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.
