Emmanuelle Vaugier: Peggy Bishop

Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : My mother killed her? No. I mean, that's absurd. She was gentle and kind.

  Peggy Bishop : She was conniving and opportunistic, enough to find herself a wealthy man to give her a new life, while my mother withered away.

  Lena Luthor : Okay, listen. Maybe... maybe you're right, okay? My mother died when I was very young, and there's so much I don't know about her. But I came here to find the truth, no matter what that is.

  [showing Peggy the picture of their mothers] 

  Lena Luthor : And clearly, our mothers were friends. Perhaps that changed, but there's another woman in this picture, Florence Abbott. And if you could just tell me everything you know about them, I promise that you will never have to speak to me again.

  Peggy Bishop : They were in a coven.

  Lena Luthor : A coven? What, like cauldrons and spells?

  Peggy Bishop : I've seen you in the news running arm-in-arm with a bulletproof alien. But you don't believe in magic?

  Lena Luthor : I believe what I can see.

  Peggy Bishop : Right, well... 33 years ago, I saw your mother set fire to a shed without lightin' a single match. And my father was inside it. He died. Your mom fled. Florence vanished, leaving my mom to deal with the fallout.

  Lena Luthor : Listen, this has to be a mistake. My mother wasn't like that.

  Peggy Bishop : Oh, I see. You came here looking for a fairy tale that you dreamed up. Well, your mother wasn't the heroine. She was the villain. I get that your family is used to leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, but you could at least have the decency to leave them buried.

• Peggy Bishop : What can I get you? Well, looks like you could use something strong.

  Lena Luthor : Yeah. Um... a whiskey. Neat, please. And some information, I hope. I already asked at the bed and breakfast, but they were decidedly unwelcoming.

  Peggy Bishop : What, Dee-Dee and David? That's odd. Never met two warmer people.

  Lena Luthor : Well, I was hoping that the owner of this pub could shed some light on why they got so upset. I mean, if she's around, Margaret Bishop.

  Peggy Bishop : Most folks call me Peggy. Better than Margaret, Jr.

  Lena Luthor : Well, in that case, I think our mothers were old friends.

  Peggy Bishop : Really? What's your mom's name?

  Lena Luthor : Elizabeth Walsh.

  Peggy Bishop : [turning just as cold]  Elizabeth Walsh was no friend of my mother's. And if you got any decency at all, you'll get the hell out of Fortune Bay. Haven't you folks caused enough pain?

  Lena Luthor : I-I don't understand. I mean, maybe if I could just talk to your mother.

  Peggy Bishop : You can't, 'cause she's dead. And your mom's the one who killed her.
