Now that Peggy's had Duck, will she get Crabs?

Why Duck seduced Peggy:
1. He thinks she slept with Don.
2. She had whiskey on her breath.
I predict Duck sneering at Don and saying "I had your girl." Don will think he means Betty and pull on ol' Archibald Whitman move on him.

If no protection was used, Duck might have knocked Peggy up, meaning soon she'll start waddling around like one. Then when the kid pops out, she might just name him after her mentor, and he'll be known as (dun dun dun) Donald Duck.

Seriously, it's probably better for her if she were to get crabs. They're a minor hassle compared to being pregnant, though she could always go the good old adoption route. Still, how does one wash away the memory of a 'go round with Duck? Even if she used all the Dial in the world I doubt it would be possible.

Don would just tell her to "move forward".

I disagree with both your ideas. Trudy, I doubt Peggy would make that same mistake again. In her encounter with the young guy after the hamburger, she insisted on a Trojan. I would guess she would be on the pill and also have the man use protection, just to be careful. This did remind me of the line, "Duck, Crab, Crab, Duck," however.

Duck, being an alcoholic, tasted alcohol and now will crave it again. Maybe he will manipulate Peggy (she really isn't as smart as she thinks she is) into being his love slave by saying she is the reason he relapsed. She will most likely get pregnant again.

Duck is a horrible man and I hope someone found his poor dog. He'll toss Peggy into the street just like he did to his poor animal.

Duck is one of those men who would refuse to wear a condom.

Duck is not an alcoholic or did he abandon his dog. He left it where someone would find and adopt it.In NY someone will grab it in 2 minutes if it looks lost.People have jumped into the dangerous East or Hudson rivers to save a dog if someone spotted a dog swimming there who probably accidently fell in.Cops and firemen have gone out in their boats to save a dog. Don't worry about a dog in NY, they're treated better than people.

@jean: Duck is definitely an alcoholic. He unhooked the dogs leash (kept the leash though) and with contempt on his face left the poor animal in front of the building. When the dog barked, he just looked and went back to his office. He saw the dog walk away. It was probably run over by a bus a few minutes later.
