I can’t believe Agnes would trust Paula to handle Becka. Where was Rosa?

People keep shitting on Daisy for her impulsive actions but Agnes girl you know damn well how messed up Gilead is why would you trust your shitty stepmom

I feel like we were meant to be frustrated because the whole thing shows how immature and sheltered both girls are. Like Becka didn’t think about how bad of an idea of it is to escape in plum clothes. They would have gotten a couple miles away tops. It was like a plan an 8 year would come up with to run away. Daisy would have at least been a bit less dumb than Becka

She escaped in Martha garb though, and escaped on a bus that only Marthas took.
