I was totally feeling sympathy for him, and then he did that.
Well, we were definitely seeing both sides of every character in this episode. Light/dark, Jackie/Marilyn, real/imagined. They really played the theme well.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

I loved the dog and I was hoping the dog would be part of the cast.
Alas.

I think there's already enough dogs on this cast, although he was the best behaved of the lot.

Yeah, wrod.Women still kinda complain about that thing that Peggy went through in this episode. You know, guys doing business in guy-places and not inviting the womenfolk. Although it's better than that I think. What was going on with Don? Besides being possessive of Betty's cute little form. Did the"Servicemen stand," thing make him think of something he buried?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hey! Marti Noxon is listed in the opening credits as a consulting producer. I didn't know that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
...and then there's a bondage scene. That has Marti's touch.

I think she just came on board for season 2. I remember reading something about it this summer.

My impression was he felt uncomfortable because, although he did serve, it was as Dick Whitman not as Don Draper, so it reminded him that he's a fraud (at least in his own mind), and even his wife and kids only know the lie.

That was so mean. Poor doggie.
I don't even like animals and I felt bad for that dog. Poor Chauncey. Perfect preppy dog name too. The WASP references sure were out in force this episode: the duck paraphernalia, St. Pauls, Fishers, etc. Classic.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
That last moment with Don and his daughter in the bathroom was really chilling and beautifully played. I'm never sure what is going on in his head but there was a profound...something happening there!
