I don't really know what chief of copy means.
She's the head writer and all the writers report to her.

Pete may be interesting, but not nice at all. It seems like Trudy married her father, more than anyone realized.

I don't understand how they could be planning an IPO without all of the partners aware of it. Very odd.

To be fair, it was the partners who are more concerned with the Finance/HR side of the business who were going about it. I don't know enough about how businesses like this run/ran that I don't have any idea whether this is SOP.

I can't imagine an IPO could move forward without at least the consent of all named partners.
That said, I'm more outraged by Don on behalf of Joan than the other way around.

The other question I had was if Jaguar had been retained but they lost Vick's that would have been a bit of a pickle. Don *and* Pete fucked up really badly.
Also, Roger has had to smooth things over after Don's actions before. So why they thought it was a good idea not to have Pete along...bizarre.

What is the connection between Vick's and Jaguar? Was the Jaguar guy a friend of Pete's father in law?

Jaguar was their prestige account, Vick's was the biggest moneymaker. So losing only Jaguar would have been bad, but not catastrophic for the IPO. Losing Vick's is a huge blow to their (potential) stock price.

Oh, okay.
Although I must admit I'm not sure how they - running a national campaign for Jaguar wound up trying to cater to a local Jaguar dealer. (At least that's what Jag dude seemed like to me.)

Herb was the head of the Dealer's Association which was putting up half the money for the campaign along with Jaguar proper (the English guys).
