Comments on: Not anymore, but he was, trust me. Is he still a doctor? http://www.moley75.co.uk/2009/02/20/1482/ This blog is supposed to be about all sorts of things but, shall we say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a minor interest of mine.

Peggy has been patted on the head and promoted, and now she helps keep other women in line. And I think Betty is playing at exerting her power. I think being a wife and mother is becoming stifling to her. I was a little iffy about season 2 when it started, but it grew on me as the season went on.
