I'm so glad they picked up this thread and didn't just let it hang out there.

I'd be throwing his ring back in his face, big time.
I'm guessing Don will be wishing he'd been around for that meeting.
Go, Peggy, on getting Freddy Rumson's office! I figured it would have been given away by now.

Art Crawl!!!
Me too. I hope she doesn't marry that asshole.
And Peggy! I can't believe she was the only one brave enough to ask for it.
Wow - I love how different Don is with Anna. Just more relaxed.
Next week should be very interesting.

“Not dead yet!”
"Since you have your children to take care of."
"I only have the one."
"Really?"
I had to pause the recording so I could giggle for a full five minutes.
Anna is such an interesting character but I wanted to bop Matt Weiner over the head with the 2x4 symbolism at the end.
Have to love the varied reactions of the drones when they found out Peggy got Freddy's office-- as usual Kenny's the most mellow and accepting.
Anyone else get the sense that in some ways Joan seemed to be seeking Peggy's approval? That she wanted to be able to confide in her? Very interesting to see their situations somewhat reversed.
And Father Gill's back next week-- oh my.

Oh yes, we need to see more of Bert Cooper's sister. She was a gas.
I totally think that Joan was wanting to confide in somebody.

well, as Cooper said, his 12 percent was mathematically insignificant. But, he probably would have been able to convince Ms., I mean Miss, Cooper to vote no. Cooper was on the fence and probably would have gone over to the no side.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What a good episode.
They do such a fantastic job of pulling out these subterranean lines of intimacy.
Between Pete and Peggy - their confidential tone discussing Don. Between Peggy and Don - she's still loyal to him. He's the only one who knows what she's been through and gave her a chance. Between Joan and Peggy. Even between Miss Cooper and Roger (She babysat him!)
And yeah, Don's much happier in California.
That's the first time we've seen Peggy smoking.
There are always so many cultural references to tick off in each episode, things they draw on. If last week was about taking Fellini and Antonioni out to Palm Beach, I guarantee you that Anna's limp was directly inspired by Piper Laurie in The Hustler.
Poor Joan. She needs her moment. Probably won't happen this season, but she'll have it. She'll be a fabulous divorcee in S4, 1968.
