u/Ok-Chapter-2071

I was left confused by Paula who is by Agnes' account an evil stepmother, but is then suddenly nice to her when she gets her period.

The scientific lingo was also interesting.

Are there any signs pointing to her being a scientist in the old days, or a doctor maybe, or just not a very pious woman, who perhaps turned bitter because she now has to play house?

Episode 3 spoilers:

>!I have now rewatched all of June & Daisy scenes. The scene in the driveway in particular was what sold it to me. June wraps her up close, seems to smell her hair and is about to kiss her cheek then she pulls herself together and steps away.!<

>!I think the showrunner is intentionally messing with us. I hope that's true, I personally don't care about timeline that much, I'd prefer the show to be closer to the book.!<
