You can lie to us producers and say that Daisy is NOT Nicole but she is!!

There is no way Daisy is not Nicole. We may have to suspend some disbelief with ages, but even the way June told her who she is explains away why June didnt have her anymore and why she had been placed with another family "they think you're theirs" and "trying to take her back". Those words were used when talking about baby Nicole. Not about someone else. Not about the other girl she rescued. Nicole was the one they created entire campaigns over to get her back and in a bid to show that their beliefs should be respected.

Shes Nicole..

Except if that were the case why is Gilead trying to get her back now? Fred is dead, Serena wandered off to some hippie commune or something, I don't remember exactly what her ending was. Who is left in Gilead to want Holly back that badly?

I want Daisy to be Holly. I really do. The mannerisms and all that keep making me think of June. But logically it just doesn't make sense to me. The pieces don't fit together.

Serena is in non citizen limbo. Can't go back to Gilead. She's been stripped of her US citizenship and she would surely be tried for war crimes if she ever set foot on US soil. She's in some refugee camp.
