June leaving Daisy in the diner all day didn’t make sense
Maybe one of you lovely people has a better explanation.
June leaves Daisy in a diner, presumably right after the diner opens in the extreme early morning because it’s dark outside. Tells her to wait for someone to come get her. Daisy sits in the diner all day until close. Only after closing does the waitress reveal herself as mayday and says “I didn’t think you’d last”.
This would make sense as an initiation ritual, to weed out the inpatient and only have dedicated, patient, calm under stress people to join mayday. It’s loyalty test. Mayday needs that kind of patience, loyalty and dedication, seeing how they go into Gilead and how it may be a long time before they can leave.
But Daisy wasn’t meant to join mayday. At Rita’s, Rita establishes that the plan is to send Daisy to another country to keep her safe. If the plan is to keep the orphan girl that Gilead supposedly wants back safe… why risk having her get impatient and leaving the diner? Or risk having someone from Gilead find her while she’s not being supervised? Why not take her straight to Rita’s?
