Do you all think Jane was the one who told Roger about Don living not at home? Rather than Roger figuring it out himself?

Dude-- that hadn't occurred to me, but I bet you're right! Not that it matters, in the scheme of things, but it wouldn't surprise me. I suspect that Jane would see it as some sort of leverage.

This. I think Jane was just as surprised at Roger's decision as anyone else. Roger is just a means to an end and I'm not sure she's going to be happy with what she reaped.

And because with Betty he has to maintain the Don Draper persona the most stringently, he's even more distant and removed from her than from almost anyone else.

That's about all I can think of, too. Which is why he's so intent on denying culpability. Although, he did say to Roger that he felt bad sometimes after saying he didn't. I think he's trying to stay so far away from "Archibald Whitman" that he's actually created something just as bad, but in a different way. And he's incapable of recognizing that.

Yeah, that struck me late last night, too.

IMO, there is no way Roger is that observant. Jane had to tell him.

I love Boomtown, too, although I just discovered it. It's a tiny bit like a network "Wire"(in the visual novel sense.) Re: Mad Men I would so be Jane, in that 'verse. Letting loose some tiny fact in innocence that starts a shitstorm. I bet Roger *could* notice that. He knows a bit about marital strife and Don has been going around looking...untended, lately. I was impressed that Carla offered Betty a shoulder, instead of treating her like Crazy White Lady. Although maybe this is too big to make fun of her for. Joan is "Miss Holloway", right? Did Roger tell Mona he was leaving for Joan, or did she jump to conclusions?

Uh...I don't think it was so innocent.

Ok, I've missed some episodes this year. But if I had done it, it would have been.

I actually figured Jane was his new Chickla when she had that exchange with Joan, aftewr she was unfired and Joan said something like, "I see, it's that way now."

I thought it was hinting at that happening eventually, but that it hadn't yet at the point Jane got fired by Joan. It seems to me that Jane is just an opportunistic beeyotch, it wouldn't have mattered to her if she hooked Roger or Don or any of the more alpha males at the company. That it ends up it was Roger is not too surprising, we know he tends to look close to home for his floozies.

Jane, you conniving bitch!

Oh that'll frost Joan's bundt cake if Jane gets to be rebound wife and lord it over her.

I figured Marilyn Monroe's death would figure in this season, just as JFK's assassination will.

They've successfully managed to turn Betty into a figure of loose-cannon dread. WTF will Betty do next? We know she'll blast the neighbors pigeons or feed the neighbor boy's kink. Now that she's under pressure what will she do?! I don't know but she won't implode under pressure. When Betty goes there will be collateral damage.

Also, it may take years and two more seasons but Joan will have her revenge on Jane. Oh yes, she will. Or maybe that's going to be this show's Russian in the Pine Barrens. The narrative itch that doesn't get scratched.
