You know what I'm weirdly annoyed by? How drastic Margaret's physical transformation was. I feel like there must be a mid-range hairstyle between Full Beehive and Full Hippy that she could have sported at lunch with Daddy. Unless she dolled her self all up One Last Time. Hmmm.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
She was wearing gloves. At lunch with Daddy, I mean. So I can see especially dolled up for the occasion before going full on hippy.
I am charmed by Fargo voice-overing their "Previouslies" with "Erstwhile"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, Ginsberg. Gay, closeted and schizophrenic is no way to go through life, son.
That was a good episode of Mad Men, though harrowing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I was struck by two things --
First, that Henry treated Betty and Sally the exact same way, as if they were both his daughters. When they were yelling at each other, he called them both "girls". Not sure where this side of Henry is coming from, is it because suddenly there's conflict?
Also, I got a real "Mommy Dearest" vibe when Bobby came into Sally's room and they talked.

When they were yelling at each other, he called them both "girls".
I noticed that too and I wanted to punch him in the face. But he was generally facepunch-worthy the entire episode.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

People had called him out for being patriarchal and controlling from the very beginning of that marriage - I don't think this is new at all, just more pronounced.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Reading the AVClub review of this episode they act like Ginsberg's breakdown was completely out of the blue.
But they'd established and alluded to the fact that he's had auditory hallucinations ("transmissions from mars" etc.) from the beginning.
I always thought he was going to develop schizophrenia.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think that is one of the things that made him attractive to Betty in the beginning. She was looking for someone who could just take control, help her out of her marriage with Don, and take care of her, but I think Sally really struck a nerve this week and now she's starting to rethink things.
I always thought he was going to develop schizophrenia.
I didn't see it coming, but it makes perfect sense looking back. Poor Peggy lost one of her major allies at the office.
