A SIN TO ERR

Peggy is trying to escape from the agents, when she runs into Dottie. Dottie says that there's a bunch of scary men looking for her, but Peggy says that she was actually on her way out. Dottie asks if she'll see her at dinner, but Peggy says that she made other arrangements. Dottie hopes she has a good night and hugs her, only to pull back and kiss her. Peggy starts to feel dizzy when she realizes that Dottie stole her knockout lipstick. She falls to the ground, but is able to see that Dottie has been the one tailing her, and Dottie stands over her, pulling out a knife. She goes in for the kill, but is interrupted by Sousa and Thompson, quickly playing dumb as they grab Peggy. When Peggy wakes in the car, she glares out at Dottie as the car pulls away, while Dottie looks on smugly.

Season 2

Dottie asking if she got a new hairstyle during it. Dottie gets her hand on a gun, but Peggy knocks her out with a bag of coins before she can use it. Peggy arrests her and compliments Dottie on her hat.

Fanon

Since she could have just as easily punched her to do so. Many fans often parrallel their relationship with Natasha's and Yelena's relationship in the comics. The Black Widow vs Shield Agent dynamic being appealing to many fans, especially since many assumed Dottie was originally going to be Yelena.

Trivia

 * Peggy and Dottie shared the first same-sex kiss in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
 * As said by Dottie Underwood‘s actress Bridget Regan: “The relationship with Dottie and Peggy was one that was so much about fascination and curiosity and Dottie had never been with anyone like Peggy before, someone that powerful, a woman in that world, it‘s just foreign to her. It‘s like you can‘t tell if she wants to have sex with her or if she wants to kill her. And I just kinda was like, I think she wants to do them all so that‘s what I‘m gonna play.“ 1
