you know, I don't understand Don. He doesn't even like Bobbi, but he keeps spending time with her.

okay, I think that Joan's ring is fake.

Ditto.
And oh holy hell, that Don would know of Peggy. You know, I honestly think, in some tenuous but significant way, they're each other's only real friends.

don's probably the one who started the fat farm rumor. I can't imagine that he didn't know what was going on. she would be on the OB/GYN ward (unless maybe the psych ward? but it looked like the same place where they brought the baby to her.) I hadn't realized that her sister was pregnant, they probably just hid Peggy's baby and then said that the sister had twins.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I hadn't realized that the cousins were that close in age...
BTW, I thought that was a splendid episode.

It's not that Don wouldn't have known what was going on, he's far too smart and observant to not have known that something was going on, but that he would trouble himself enough to not only come see her, but to help her perpetuate her story and in effect, become her partner in crime. (I think she must have been in a restricted psych ward of the hospital-- but that's just a guess.)
After all, they've made a huge deal over how women in this era and this particular environment, are essentially disposable. Don sees something of himself in Peggy, that much is obvious, but what exactly, is one of those things that's going to be revealed, bit by delicious bit.
Damn, but I can't remember the last time I gasped out loud during a show.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm confused by the sister's pregnancy. The home scenes we've had with them showed 2 elementary school-aged kids and a toddler, presumably Peggy's. So is that baby really Peggy's nephew (and Peggy's baby adopted out), or did the sister have a miscarriage?
(She didn't look far enough along to me to be able to believably claim twins - the cousins would have been at least a couple of months apart, which at that age is HUGE.)
don's probably the one who started the fat farm rumor. I can't imagine that he didn't know what was going on.
And if he was covering for her, it's only natural that people would assume he got her pregnant.
okay, I think that Joan's ring is fake.
Huh. Yeah.
Loved this ep like woah. The cut from Pete looking at the porno mags to Roger playing with the ping pong paddle? GENIUS. Maybe my favorite match cut on television ever.
Speaking of which - HOLY FUCKING GOD, PETE, YOU SMUG LITTLE SHITWEASEL.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh yeah. The ring is fake.
It absolutely makes sense that Don knows. . . and the advice he gave her? Totally in character.

That was funny as hell.

His dynamic with his wife was horrible and fascinating.
Bobbi's relationship with Peggy was also very engaging.
Don also had his shitweasel moments.
