About damn time, too.

Who do you think Don/Dick called?

Not a clue. I don't think we've met anyone other than his brother and that one random dude on the train that knew him as Dick. There was the one woman at the car dealership who knew he wasn't Don, but it doesn't mean he told her who he really was. I'm on tenterhooks!

Loved Peggy's new hairstyle.

Squeee! Peggy's getting her look updated!

I was cackling, "OMG, Peggy's getting the Big Gay Makeover!"

And jeez, I thought Sal was going to faint.

And Duck... jeez. Honestly, I'm at a loss as to how that's going to turn out. And anyone recognize Charles Shaughnessey as St. John? Lewis did before me and he was spluttering, "Look, from the Nanny!"

The whole Palm Springs sojourn was so utterly surreal. I guess the only thing was that they were giving us an external representation of how rootless Don must feel internally.

Or maybe it was just surreal.

I think you've got that exactly right. Why else would he call someone who knows him as Dick Whitman? Because that is where his roots are.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm thinking. He's feeling rootless and going to California only made that feeling stronger. And I can't believe he's just staying.

Wow.

Also - who knew that Duck was so duplicitous.

At the end was that Don's luggage being returned to his house?

I think so.

Did you catch that Don's pose after he made the call as Dick Whitman was exactly the logo pose, but he was naked?

Excellent use of music in this episode with the exotica and bossa nova. Peggy's makeover was overdue - her ponytail was bugging me and apparently it bugged Kurt too. Interesting that they went back to Dylan again. The cultural reference points are so interesting to me: La Note, Frank O'Hara, Faulkner. And this episode was very La Dolce Vita.

That Palm Beach place could not have been a better example of International Style architecture. Which is the point, I guess.

Cosgrove's reaction to Kurt's outing himself made me think of John Cheever's closeted bisexuality.

Yes - I totally noticed Don in Logo pose - only naked.

Very interesting.

That house was beautiful.

Well - someone pointed this out over on twop - his pose was the mirror image of the logo pose. Logo - fully dressed, right arm stretched across the back of the chair - Don's pose - naked with his left arm stretched across the back of the chair.

Can't be a coincidence.

And no cigarette.
