Daisy’s Reckless Scheme — Bold, But Costly

When Dr. Grove doesn’t abuse her during the visit, Daisy takes matters into her own hands — tearing her own uniform, running out frantically, and falsely claiming she was assaulted. This fabricated incident sets off a massive firestorm, ruining the Grove family’s reputation and pushing Aunt Lydia and Commander Judd to fast-track plans against the dentist.

Lydia clearly knows Daisy is lying — but she’s perfectly willing to let it slide if it helps get rid of the dentist, who is clearly not in the inner circle with the Commanders. The Review Geek

The Real Bombshell in The Testaments— Agnes Tells Becka the Truth

Becka Kills Dr. Grove — The Ending Explained

However, it wasn’t the murder itself that led to her arrest — Commander MacKenzie called the Eyes, and Becka was taken away by them along with her fiancé Garth, who had been promoted to Commander. TV Insider

Agnes screamed when she realized her friend was being taken away — she had believed they were bringing Becka to a hospital, not handing her over to Gilead’s enforcers.

What’s Next? Will Becka Survive?

The official synopsis for the Season 1 finale confirms Becka’s story continues: “While Becka faces the consequences of her actions, Agnes and Daisy must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect her.” In Margaret Atwood’s source novel, Becka survives and eventually becomes Aunt Immortelle, helping the resistance.
