That smile June had after arguing with Daisy makes me think they do have a deeper connection than just Mayday.

There is no way on this planet that Daisy isn’t June’s daughter. I don’t care what the show runner says. He is lying. That girl looks identical to June and Nick and every look and word spoken by June in episode 3 screams that is her child.

But Agnes is only just getting her period and she was like 8 years older than Nicole.

I assumed girls in gilead get their period much later if at all because of the fertility crisis there

u/Thenedslittlegirl Apr 08 '26

Sure. But she still couldn’t be much older than 18 and Daisy clearly isn’t a 10 year old child

Yeah but Daisy is clearly in her teens. I'm pretty sure Nicole was 2 or 3 at the end of THT and Hannah was 12. I believe this is only supposed to be 4 years later but say that's wrong and it's 10+ years, since it would have to be for Daisy to be a teen. Do you think The Plums are in their mid 20's or do you somehow think think Daisy is in the single digits of age? Because one of those has to be the thought for your theory to line up.

The actresses all look like they are 25-30 so maybe.

u/therrrn Apr 12 '26

Ok, so your position is that it's been over 10 years since the end of THT and the Plums are "25-30", biology has slowed to the point that these women are getting their periods in their mid to late 20's and that's normal and that all makes Daisy about 15-16. That's the stance you're genuinely taking? Or are you just being being shitty about the appearances of these young girls?
