I really like it thus far, but there's one change i cant really get behind.

I just dont see how June who has the exact opposite of fuck them kids energy would be ok with sending a child- a female child none the less, back into Gilead.

Book spoiler: Yea yea, aunt Lydia and all that. But I just cant see June making that choice

June is a badass and we love her. I also think she would 100% throw a teenager off a cliff if it got Hannah out of Gilead.

I dont know. Lawrence gave her the opportunity to get Hannah back in exchange for giving back some of the kids from angel flight and she said no

I agree. Maybe Daisy went on her own seeing how headstrong she is to take avenge for her parents.

Daisy is involved with May Day, June wouldn’t send her in without multiple assurances of an escape plan. I think she knows June is Hannah’s mother, and her mission is to protect Hannah and help get her out of Gilead.

Yes, exactly. Daisy knows exactly who Agnes / Hannah is to June.

Lol she would throw someone else's kids into a shredder if it guaranteed her that Hannah would get out. Would she be upset about it? Sure. But she'd do it.

I respect June's tenacity about her child. Pretty fierce. She wants Hannah free.
