Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's actually one of the things I don't like about the show. It's clear there's some sort of Big Bad or villain or something out there (where did those mute guys come from, who's giving typewriter orders), but it's all so nebulous I can't get a handle on it. I'm much more invested in Peggy's efforts to keep one step ahead of her co-workers' investigation into Stark (and also now the idea that Stark may have his own agenda) than whoever or whatever the villain plot is. Also how does Dottie fit into this? And will Angie ever do anything?

It's not a very cohesive show, is what I'm saying.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

This was why Justified season 1 was my favorite.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I don't think that Dottie is Widow. Dottie seems a little crazy to me.

Maybe she's a Red Room Rogue.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Isn't there some comics canon implying that Black Widow gets treated with something derived from Steve's blood -- or at least an attempt at the Serum? Thus explaining her long life?

But I guess that doesn't mean that all the Red Room girls would have been so treated--it's not necessary.

Anyway, my thought is not Natasha, but definitely Red Room.

I also liked Peggy really laying into Howard. He may not be a traitor, but he's got her risking her career for what is, in the end, his personal benefit. And his shenanigans with the other women in the Griffith were... well, okay, they were consensual, but it was still kind of skeevy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is Dottie the one that had a sweater with a pocket for chickens?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I really wish that there was still a connection between Black Widow and Winter Soldier Maybe not the venue for that comment, but this ep has me thinking of both.

And, speaking of big bads and the dudes that keep dying every week, I had a thought that, as it's Agent Peggy Carter's show, maybe I shouldn't be worrying about the villainous dudes recurring, but the dames. (I originally typed EVIL, but that is an erroneous word).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's not a very cohesive show, is what I'm saying.

I suspect the nebulous stuff is seed planting and that we just don't see how it fits together yet. I kinda dig that approach.

I also liked that Stan wasn't a creepy playboy for this cameo like the last one I saw.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think Dottie had a bit of a Parker from Leverage vibe going there.

What was the message on the typewriter?!!!1!

I'm worried that it is "Kill Agent Carter."

Not that she's in danger, but that the SSR guys will start flinging accusations.
