While Mike first insists that they go along with Peggy's lying in order to keep the peace, he eventually gets fed up with her and lashes out by telling her "you're bitter and toxic, and that's why nobody wants you around"; Molly then reaches out to Peggy about the virtues of sometimes admitting to being wrong.
