![]() This season, Peggy’s greatest threats will be more tangible - villains like Dottie and Madame Masque (more on her later) - and while there will probably still be gender-related setbacks, we seem to be past the point of Peggy having to sneak around in order to do her job. We left off with Peggy finally achieving the respect she deserves at the SSR, and we pick up finding that she’s no longer fighting that battle. One of the biggest compliments I can give Agent Carter this season is that we’re actually building on the progression of last year. When Peggy removes Dottie’s handcuffs, it’s a big moment: she proves she’s not afraid of her and also proves she’s willing to trust her.

Dottie walks into a bank and attempts to make a withdrawal from a vault - 143, to be exact - where the real Peggy is waiting for her, along with the other agents from the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
