---

It's been a strange, rough couple of months for our intrepid villagers — Bunkers, superpowers and clones, oh my! Perhaps the Observers are sympathetic to their plight, or maybe they just have a peculiar sense of humor. At any rate, they've set up a gathering space chalk full of summer camp goodness, no strings attached. Not that anyone knows that part.

Just before sunset, a cheery message pops up on wrist devices all across the settlement and beyond. The instructions seem simple enough, although one does have to wonder at what dubious gift awaits them all after everything is said and done.

Marshmallows are on the house, so grab yourself a stick, strap on a sash and get to roasting, villagers. Skinny dipping, sing-alongs and friendship bracelets optional.

"It's not that you kept saying no, Peg. Mom did the same thing forever- he kind of kept his reputation for...up till they got married, I think." Some things you just can't shake. "If that's all it was he'd let it drop. You're smart. Capable. Have a mean left hook."

He smiles, something soft and fond, just as much for Peggy as it was for Maria. "A certain quality of character and stubborn integrity, that's how he put it. Jarvis translated it as 'being unwilling to put up with his bullshit."

Peggy's not sure that it ever would have worked, but it's a lovely little idea to play in her mind of a Howard that could somehow behave. Then again, she's also fairly sure that it would end in flames. "I'm glad he found your mother, then. I'm not sure I would ever be any better than her."

Maternal, after all, is hardly her strong suit. She can admonish and punish, but the warmth is where she falters. She's not a hugger, after all, which is a key step in showing warmth, after all.
