And I think Pete has picked his side. Interesting.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

Oh... and because I'm still all SHOW! We haven't even talked about how easily Don was able to diffuse things with Pete. And Don being Don, you're just not sure if it was just a line or if he really meant it. But end result is, that Duck was always a poor substitute for Don when it came to Pete and approval. It was Don's approval he always wanted and it came at just the right time.
And poor little shitweasel Pete—has his one moment of approbation from his hero and then has it all brought down around his ears by Peggy's confession.

I actually felt a little sorry for Pete with this episode. He has been growing somewhat, at least when it comes to work. I thought Don was telling Pete the truth. Pete is sensitive enough to tone he would have realized Don was blowing smoke. Before, Pete would have blustered, made unfounded statements and thrown threats around. Now, he asks and is gracious about accepting a compliment. But, to have Peggy lay that bombshell on him? Holy Armegeddon, Mad Man.

HMOG! Peggy told Pete he was a daddy! Guess the Father was right that she really needed confession.
I wonder, did she tell him because he professed his love, or because of the bomb/need to confess?
Do you think that Pete's going to get a little more accepting of adoption now :)

My knee-jerk reaction is "Oh hell no." Although he might let Trudy do it, but he'll always wonder "what if?" He'll never look at a child in his own home, not of his blood and not try to superimpose the image of his own child.

Heh. I think he's going to badger Peggy to try and find out where the baby is and then tell Trudy that "sure I'll adopt, I've got just the kid!"

Trudy won't want a toddler though. She wants an infant. She wants to play the game from the very beginning.

Yeah, seriously, oh, SHOW!
This was a crazy but mostly satisfactory season finale. I love that with last season's gap leaves so much to wonder about with the time span before S3. You just have no idea what to expect, no matter what happens.
And so much happened this episode.

I love that Duck screwed himself by not knowing that Don didn't have a contract. I suspect that PPL will make them co presidents or something.
