What do you think happened to 'ol' Peg' in highschool?


Near the front doors of the gymnasium at the reunion, Ray seems to almost taunt Peg, the strange wife of Charles Briggs' coworker, while Lulu/Audrey seems just to take pity. I almost feel like there's some very dark hideous story behind their behavior around this poor woman.

Has anyone else felt the same???

Yes there was something unsaid about what happened back in high school. Though she did comment as Ray, Audrey and Charlie drove off, "He's going to get in trouble if he stays with them,"

I always guessed that somehow probably during high school that maybe Peg got caught up in one of Ray and or Audrey's little antics or maybe got alittle more than she bargained for from him/them, then decided to go "straight" from that moment on.
