Peggy & Pete's Baby


I have finally seen the Mad Men finale. I'm a bit late! Sorry!

I was trying to remember whether Petty ever told Pete about their baby and was wondering whether it would come up in the finale.

Given that it wasn't mentioned in the finale, can anybody remind me how that story line closed?

Thanks!

No, she didn't, and nothing more really happened with that plot thread.

reply

Yes, she did. She mentioned it to him when he told her that he should have picked her over Trudy... In the final episode of Season 2 "Meditations in an Emergency"; the one with the Cuban missle crisis...

She said something along the lines of "I could have had you in my life forever" etc...

reply

Yeah she hinted at it but he didn´t get it.

I think it´s a bit sad how this plot device went into nowhere, i am curious if Peggy ever got kids with Stan later on.

reply

she did tell him though, she said 'I had your baby and gave it away'

that clearly says that she told me she basically gave the baby away to another family for adoption

reply

Yes.

I had thought that Pete would have used this information to confront Trudy that the fertility problem was with Trudy, not him. And maybe he would have divorced her and married someone else. I don't remember when Tammie came along... maybe my timeline is wrong...

reply

He found out after the fertility issues, i believe.
