Appearance[]

History[]
In season 2, Peggy is at Earl's Music Shop when she sees an advertisement for guitar lessons, intriguing her. She visits the home of Emily at the Casa Villa Apartment, and Peggy is impressed by Emily's tattoo. After a bit of practice, Emily recommends that Peggy write her own song due to her recent decision to become a homemaker and the potential lyrics, seeing her as an oppressed woman in need of expression and freedom from her marriage. Oblivious to this, Peggy invites Emily for dinner the next night, and Hank is turned off by Emily's feminist attitude and opposition to the Mother's Day holiday, as well as her view that Peggy should go to a guitar recital instead of celebrating. Emily also makes fun of Hank's use of an old-fashioned wooden guitar (Betsy) instead of a modern one.
When Peggy goes to the Mother's Day guitar recital, she plans on singing her turtle song, but Emily presents Peggy's song as one with a feminist tone. Emily tells the audience to welcome Peggy and her turtle song, leading to big welcome from the pro-feminist audience. Peggy initially struggles through her performance, finding it difficult to find the words needed to finish it. Emily quietly encourages Peggy from behind the curtain, but Peggy suddenly finds her inspiration upon seeing Hank attending the recital for her, causing her song to quickly change to open support of her marriage to Hank. Disappointed but supportive, Emily congratulations Peggy on her performance.
