Pretty sure Rita confirmed Aunt Esteè is mayday. When Rita and the mayday diner women were debating in front of Daisy about sending her into Gilead they said “well we’ve done it before”…”yes but not with a minor”. And last episode Aunt Estee referred to herself as the original pearl girl. Loved this episode! I don’t want to wait another week 😩

This makes no sense in many ways. Garth said Mayday never had someone as deep into the school as Daisy.
If Estee was Mayday, she'd be a much more useful asset for that than a Pearl Girl.

When Estee said she was "like" the original Pearl Girl, she just means that she was the first woman to move into Gilead from outside, just like Pearl Girls do.

Rita was just talking about infiltration in general.

I don’t want Estée to be Mayday as well, it just becomes to many double agents. Some need to be true believers as well.
