For once, I honestly feel sorry for Pete.

At least we know what happened to Peggy's baby, now. I wondered if he'd been adopted out or what.

She is still clinging to her denial.

Wow! Good episode. I felt sorry for Pete too. And poor Peggy isn't over her denial yet.

I gather from her sister's comments that Peggy was institutionalized for a while? I'm surprised that they kept her job for her.

I believe in the last episode the men in the office said Peggy was away for 6 weeks. I wonder if any of the bosses know the truth.

I know. Six weeks was a long time to be away from work, especially in that era and especially if it was to have a baby. It was long before FMLA and many women just plain didn't have a job to go back to after a baby and had to start over. Presumably, no one knows she had the baby, so I'm dying to know what her excuse was. It coul have been portrayed as an "illness" that could be excused because of recovery time (appendix, something like that.)
Did you notice that the sister was played by the actress who played the family maid in Wonderfalls? The more TV I watch, the more incestuous it gets.

My wife and I noticed. She was on Pushing Daisies, too, we think.

Really? I thought I'd seen her before but I couldn't figure out from where.
So, she was institutionalized because she rejected her baby? I thought (why I interpreted it this way) that she had tried to give the baby up for adoption w/o permission from her parents and the state prevented her from doing that.
