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

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.

The narrative itch that doesn't get scratched.

You think so, Hec? I was actually thinking that Betty might be the narrative itch that doesn't get completely scratched. Or do you think they're just too far gone with her and there'd have to be some sort of resolution? (Although keeping in mind that Weiner comes from the school of Sopranos storytelling.)

You know, though-- I don't think Jane wants to be rebound wife. Not with Roger. The more I consider her being the one who told Roger about Don, the more I wonder if she wasn't using it as a method by which to get more information on Don and his situation from Roger (never mind that Roger's as incurious as a lizard and wouldn't have much beyond the obvious to tell her).

From the extended preview on amctv.com, it looks as if there's a party of some sort happening in the office in next week's episode. I'm fairly certain we're suppose to assume it's Joan's wedding shower-- she said she was planning a holiday wedding, Marilyn died in August of '62, I think, so it could be they've jumped forward a few months, which, not unheard of for the show, or it's a red herring and it's not really her shower, but a party for some other reason.

just as JFK's assassination will.

You think they'll jump forward more than a year? Maybe next season.
