In a conversation about weekend plans, one character asks Peabody if she has anything exciting in mind. Peabody’s response humorously reveals her typical weekend activities, which involve emotionally distancing herself from men, reminiscent of swatting away bothersome flies.
Her reply suggests a playful yet dark edge, indicating that her weekends involve not just casual interactions, but also a deeper, perhaps more cynical approach to relationships. This reflects her personality and the dynamics within the narrative of "Vengeance in Death" by J.D. Robb.
