Agent Carteris about to uncover a whole new chapter of our titular heroines life.
In fact, our favorite SSR operative was previously engaged.
That very much stems from her personal experiences in childhood within her family.

We know whatever path she takes will shape her destiny.
Its her relationship with her brother that really informs who she becomes.
The hour also draws a parallel between Peggys and Whitney Frosts (Wynn Everett) childhoods.
Its very much a nature versus nurture argument, Atwell says.
She grows up in an environment where shes taught that shes worthless.
Essentially theres a huge hole in Whitney.
Shes a broken person.
Shes brought up in a neglectful and abusive environment.
Because she gets fame and fortune, that deep wound manifests itself in a very destructive and negative way.
Peggy is the opposite of that, Atwell continues.
Peggy comes from an incredible environment of people with great dignity and integrity.
It instilled within her a very strong moral compass.
She was probably born with that as well.
It was instilled in her that she was just as good as the boys.
