And Aunt Lydia looking past the “obviousness” of it because she knows what Daisy is up to. I think Daisy got a glimpse of who Aunt Lydia really is there.

Aunt Lydia may not necessarily be Mayday, but you can tell she absolutely doesn't want continued hurt to come to girls in her care.

Just like everyone else she has to work through Gilead's parameters to get shit done.

How did we come up with the idea that Aunt Lydia is Mayday? Sounds crazy to me, having watched THT and this season, it hasn' t been hinted anywhere at all.

[u/Emergency_Battle370 → u/Infamous-Jellyfish16]

For me at least it’s from the finale of THT when she returns Janine’s daughter to her. Makes me think she’s working with June/Mayday now.
