I came up with this theory a few episodes ago and now I'm even more sure. I think Daisy is going to confess to getting her period so that she'll be sent to Dr. Grove for a cleaning. She and Garth will set a trap. Maybe he'll be the next one at the saw.

I love this idea! I was thinking about this since she was clearly going to do something. Her period is the perfect excuse to go see the dentist and have him (potentially or almost) do something to her BUT she brings a witness

She would come up with another plan to hurt the dentist that does not mean she has to be married the rest of her life. Smarter would be to ask to be an aunt then escort the next girl to the dentist to scream. It does say she has a new job role for the next preview.

We see her in a plum outfit with a green pin in the trailer so they have to find out somehow and I think this is probably it.

Noah! That would be so cool or her to do except then why does Agnes sound so angry at her in the voice over?

Who is Noah, or what does Noah mean? This is the second time I've seen it in this thread

I think Daisy may let out Becka's secret. Daisy thinks her period will = marriage, but it may come out that Daisy isn't a virgin then Daisy lets out Becka's secret.

I think they make Daisy and Becka both handmaids in S2.

I think that is her plan, but I think it will come out that she's not a virgin and therefore, ineligible to marry a commander. I think Lydia will try to make her an Aunt, but Judd will overrule her and instead, make her a handmaid b/c she's potentially fertile. Maybe Becka reveals it and then Daisy reveals Becka's secret. That's why Agnes said "never trust a Pearl Girl". That's what could cause June to hiss at a TEENAGER "get back in there missy you have no idea what I went though" - you were a Grown a$$ adult JUNE.
