But that starlet, otherwise known as Whitney Frost, isnt just a movie star.

How does she feel about that?
That was very much the driving force for a lot of the missions that she went on.
Now its a year later and shes settled into New York life, theres a lightness about her.
Its apparent that was a lie, and Sousa was just as shocked to see her.
Its very different for her.
Whats endearing is you see just how awkward and useless she is in the world of romance.
Shes like a Bambi learning to walk when it comes to romance.
Is there a part of Peggy thats crushed a little bit to see that Sousa has moved on?
With Peggy, she battles between what she wants and having to accept life on lifes terms.
She does it with dignity, although shes very tenacious and stubborn.
That must spill over to her love life as well, because thats part of her character.
Shes ambitious and tries to get what she wants within her own moral compass.
Shes ultimately someone who wants happiness for her fellow man.
Her morality is in check despite her being very tenacious and knowing what she wants.
She cant always have everything that she wants.
It quickly becomes very nasty and complicated.
Shes someone who has a brilliant mind, but uses all her power and skills for evil.
What is Peggys dynamic like with Whitney once we see them meet?
I love Wynn Everett; I think shes so brilliant.
Watching her, I was just in tears.
Peggy is not intimidated by her stardom, but shes fascinated by Whitneys power and audacity.
Does Peggy suspect something amiss?
Its a surprise to her.
By this point, she deals with Thompson with a bemused tolerance.
She knows how to brush him off now.
I dont think she thinks he had it in him to possibly be a bad guy.
She just saw him as someone who was arrogant, but not evil, so shes blindsided by that.
Thats definitely the situation that shes in.
She cant trust anyone.
She doesnt even find herself trustworthy.
She lives a double life and lies to people all the time.
Shes a master of disguises and a manipulator herself.
In accepting that, it means she comes to have a healthy level of distrust for other people.
She finds it hard to be intimate and open up.
Thats a natural trait to living a double life like that.
It must be incredibly hard.
Its something she accepts as part of her job, really.
How do you think the dynamic between Howard (Dominic Cooper) and Peggy has changed this year?
But their love becomes stronger in a platonic way.
Its quite rare for Howard.
It also means that theres a humor, theres a banter between them that she can indulge him.
Shes always making fun of how utterly ridiculous his flamboyant, excessive lifestyle is and the women around him.
It cements how important they are to each others lives and each others work.
It feels like a relationship that will be forever for them.
