Hard to believe that the first fannish thing that attracted my attention this year was eye-rolling annoyance over a russian spy stealing a set of keys, but it's been a couple of weeks now, and I just can't let it go:

Why Did It Happen?

Dottie is a black widow prototype. She would be able to pick locks. Maybe its not the first thing they teach the girls, but if they spend years in handcuffs learning spycraft, at some point, someone is going to say: I know! The lock!

Then *poof* they're all doing it, learning to slip their bonds any way they can. So at one point, the headmistress can go through the room and shoot whichever girls haven't learned to escape yet with a disgusted smile and a murmured 'too slow.'

So it's pretty clear, Dottie doesn't need the freakin' keys to get into Peggy's apartment. The Russians still need to lure Agent Carter away so that Dottie can search her place, but Dottie doesn't need to risk Peggy noticing that Her Freakin' Keys Are Missing thus putting the whole operation at risk simply to give her an easy way into the apartment.

And Peggy! Arrrgh. Stupid pills, I swear. Look, she was on an away mission, she left all of her clothing at the office, she gets back to the communal shower space and wants to leave as soon as possible. So the first things she's going to do is...look for her keys.

Handbag. Keys. Nothing.

At that point, Peggy should freak the hell out. She knows she doesn't misplace shit, and yet...keys gone. So frenetic search of the office? Someone notices her panic? There should be a lot of other stuff that happens here, including her realization that her work for stark might not have gone unnoticed by other spies. *AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH*

So yeah, that whole thing made me crazy.
