like there is no way this narrative is not setting peggy and angie up and if people are gonna ignore this in favor of the hetero then honestly there's nothing to say because the first season was literally a romance arc
parallel to peggy moving on from steve they (writers) have set up angie/peggy's romantic arc on a very reasonable speed and there is just no way they're just throwing this away or that they did any of this unintentionally.
the writers have very obviously put a lot of thought into this, maybe not the primary thought being "peggy needs to have a relationship besides steve" but they thought /something/. especially with the entire episode 3.
they know, the writers the producers hayley lyndsy, everyone knows how romantic tropes are put in scene and they were so obviously heading for that (not only the frame and general characteristics of their relationship but also the lightning of the scene was warm and fuzzy feeling like, the characters were in focus, t h e m u s i c, everything. literally everything about this goddamn scene at the end; ) and being ignorant or oblivious about this just won't change the show's idea about it (@ heteronormativity)
not only ep. 3 but literally every scene between peggy/angie was filled with romantic tropes and also such cliches sometimes (secretive and mysterious person A, bubbly and quirky literally girl next door person B;)
if the writers intention was to put angie as "just a friend" then fine, i'll be happy as long as they'll continue their positive and healthy relationship but why would they frame the scenes like that if they weren't going somewhere with this
not for queerbaiting, that's for sure. they couldn't have known beforehand that cartinelli had such a huge following. if they'd known that cartinelli would be so popular among fans they wouldn't only have implied it but also promote it as much as aos promotes FitzSimmons or as much as chloe promotes skimmons.
