In 1946, she finds herself marginalized and relegated to secretarial duties within the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). The narrative shifts as Peggy journeys from New York City to Los Angeles to confront new threats emerging during the Atomic Age. While the bright lights of post-war Hollywood appear glamorous, they mask a more sinister threat to the people Peggy is sworn to protect. This mission is catalyzed when Howard Stark is accused of treason. To clear his name, Stark secretly recruits Peggy to assist him, working alongside his butler, Edwin Jarvis. As she moves from her previous role in the SSR to the West Coast, Peggy must navigate the complexities of the post-war era to address these rising dangers. The season focuses on her transition from her marginalized position in New York to the high-stakes environment of Los Angeles, where the shadows of the Atomic Age present new challenges to her mission of protection and justice.
