But Peg's taste for revenge softens, and soon she and Buck rekindle their relationship. And by the time Peg returns to Dublin, she is again pregnant with Buck's child. Oh, no. So now she's feeling like things are back on track. She's running a successful business. She has a boyfriend named Buck Lawless. But in keeping with the unfortunate cycles of Peg's life, trouble is right around the corner.

And this is awful. In November of 1779, a gang of seven college boys calling themselves the, quote, pinking dindies break into Peg's home and rape and beat her mercilessly. Oh my God. And her two-year-old daughter watches in horror as her mom is incapacitated by this monstrous gang of men. Peg survives the ordeal, but the baby she was pregnant with does not.

And soon after, her two-year-old daughter dies, too. Oh, my God. And in her memoirs, Peg attributes her toddler's death to shock. Oh. Horrifying. How much can one fucking person? Right? That's just awful. And yet, Peg does not crumble where she absolutely could have and maybe should have. Instead, she decides to sue these men. Yes. Which is like unheard of.

Like this single woman like out there alone and she basically sues them. The head of the gang tells her to drop the lawsuit or he'll kill her.

But she will not be intimidated. She presses on. She wins the case. So the perpetrators don't only land in jail, but once their sentences are served, they're banished from Dublin. Nice. Yeah. And so as Peg is kind of going through all that, Buck Lawless is making a plan to move to London. And he tells Peg he wants her to come with him. Peg loves the life she's built for herself in Dublin.

She doesn't want to leave it or her business. She certainly doesn't want to go to London. But Buck pushes her saying she needs a fresh start after all the things that she has suffered. So she finally gives in. She moves to London to be with the man she loves and to recover. And once she gets there, she finds out Buck has been sleeping with another woman. Buck.

So of course she's angry, but she's also resilient and she's determined to make the most of her time in London. She finds British people to be uptight and too concerned with pleasing local nobility. And this is kind of a running thing in Peg's life. She doesn't like these like upper class men. And probably for great reason.

I mean, those men, these rich men around her have failed her, have beaten her, have used her, whatever. So she kind of was like... It's so funny. So she's a rebel. She decides to have some fun. One afternoon, she sees the Prince of Wales in a tailor shop customizing a fancy waistcoat. So she goes in after him, orders the same waistcoat, and then gives it to her shoemaker. Nice.

So she's basically like, oh, you think you're the one that only... Now there's two of those dresses on the red carpet. Hell yeah. And then later on, she's riding in her carriage down the street and the prince, the same prince, comes riding along.

And I guess the thing they did was like everyone knowing it was the prince of Wales would clear off the street like a fire truck so he can have the street all to himself. Yeah. not Pig, she rides right along next to him and makes it clear to him that she considers him to be just another person like anybody else. Love it. But very quickly, Pig gets bored of London.

So she goes back to Dublin and she gets back into her brothel business with Sally. She's finally back in her element. She runs the business. She's partying with her friends. But then like really quickly and out of the blue, she marries a man named Barry Yelverton. And Barry Yelverton isn't just any guy. He's the son of a baron, and he is insanely rich.
