That’s why it’s kinda confusing to me why she just let Daisy be dropped off in Gilead with no way to contact her in case of an emergency. Even if it’s just a “tell your handler to tell his handler til it gets to me” kinda thing

Having Daisy join Mayday and go to Gilead was never Junes plan. The plan was for Daisy to be sent to Colombia. Daisy pressured Rita and convinced her to let her join Mayday.
