Constance "Connie" Heck is a character in Season 2 and seemingly very briefly in Season 3. She is Peggy Blumquist's friend and workmate from the beauty salon in Luverne, Minnesota.
Season 2[]
Constance Heck is a new age feminist and possibly a closeted homosexual who was the workmate and friend of Peggy Blumquist in 1979. Over the course of the season, Constance attempts to encourage Peggy to leave her husband, Ed.
Constance is shown staring at Peggy's buttocks as she takes off her coat, implying that Constance is sexually attracted to her - however the self-absorbed and absent-minded Peggy doesn't pick up on this.
When Peggy returns to work after running over Rye Gerhardt, Constance tries to convince Peggy to spend a weekend with her attending a feminist seminar at the Southnick Hotel in Sioux Falls.
Later, while Constance drives Peggy home from work, she calls her sexy. After using the toilet at Peggy's house, Constance discovers that Peggy stole the toilet paper from the beauty salon. She flirts with the unaware Peggy, calling her a "bad girl." She attempts to come onto her, but Peggy excuses herself and rushes her outside.
Constance convinces Peggy to take the money she and Ed were saving to buy the Butcher shop without his permission to pay for their trip. This causes a rift between the couple. Peggy tries to change her mind and get the money back, but Constance pressures her into going - telling Peggy that the money is rightfully hers and not Ed's, while promising that the seminar will empower her to be "the best Peggy Blumquist she can be".
Despite her new age ways, Constance can be seen applauding Governor Ronald Reagan when he arrives in Luverne, Minnesota as part of his Electoral Campaign.
Eventually, Constance is found by Hanzee Dent while searching for Peggy and Ed. Hanzee finds a receipt for the Southnick Hotel on the fridge signed by Constance, which alerts him to Connie's location. Hanzee then holds Constance at gunpoint in her room at the Southnick hotel and forces her to call Peggy to either convince Peggy to come to the hotel or to reveal her and Ed's location. A terrified Constance complies, but she fails to convince Peggy to disclose her whereabouts.
