Peggy Olson Quotes »

Peggy became more powerful at SCDP. She hired a new copywriter, Michael Ginsberg, and supervised junior copywriter Megan Draper on the problematic Heinz baked beans account, ultimately becoming eclipsed by both of her protégées. In her personal life, Peggy was disappointed when Abe asked her to move in with him instead of proposing marriage. Increasingly frustrated by Don’s erratic behavior at SCDP, Peggy solicited help from fellow freelance copywriter Freddy Rumsen, who connected her with Don’s rival, creative director Ted Chaough. Peggy accepted a job as Copy Chief at Chaough’s agency and bid a bittersweet goodbye to Don.
