What's been getting me about that phone call he made was how easily he said the name Dick Whitman. And he didn't repeat it, in that rusty sort of way when you haven't said a name for a long time or the person on the other line might be surprised to hear it.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

One of the clips for next week did seem to show him following the Jet Set to the caribbean.
Was it? I thought he was somewhere like San Diego—I could've sworn I saw military ships in the background and sailors.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's what I saw.
There were a few things I thought were too on the mark -- that girl's name was Joy? Also, the one guy was like, "Oh, I'm gay. Therefore, I will be your new hairdresser!" @@

"Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance."
Though in fairness to arty German bohemians, Astrid Kirchherr wasn't a professional hairdresser, but she gave the Beatles their distinctive haircuts.

Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.

I totally thought about her and Klaus while he was on, Hec. I'm just glad that haircut finally went; it drove my beauty-school dropout mom insane to look at it. Every time she saw it, she thought it was supremely wrong. Even though I did think that Peggy wouldn't have hair as up to date as Joan's.

We've seen her with her hair different before. That time that she met the guys at the strip club, she had it up and it looked really nice.

Yeah, that was a good look.

Considering how obsessive Weiner is about the style details of the show, Peggy's hair was purposefully anachronistic. Joan called it out - why do you dress like a little girl. Peggy's look was from the 50s and she hadn't moved up. So the symbolic/iconic gesture of the haircut was of Peggy owning her place in the sixties, becoming a woman etc.
