Trudy won't want a toddler though. She wants an infant. She wants to play the game from the very beginning.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

oh, and did anyone else wince when Trudy said "If you loved me, you'd want to be with me" and Pete said "that's true" and then she just kissed him and they went to load the car. whoa.

I turned to Lewis at that point and said, "She's really not that bright, is she?"

I don't know if it's that she's not bright or that her expectations are low. Maybe she thinks that no one will love her as much as her daddy, so it's okay that Pete doesn't love her.

Goooood episode! So many threads to be picked up later. If they jump ahead a similar amount of time, that will put them around '65/'66, right? Perfect time to take a trip to swinging London, now that Sterling Cooper is a British-owned firm. There's the space race, the Great Society (and associated conservative backlash) and The Beatles ruling the pop world.
I also think Duck hissy-fitted himself out of being president. I'm curious if we'll even see him, depending on the how far forward we go.

I actually thought her interpretation was "Well, he was just trying to convince me to stay with him in the city, so okay, he does love me."
I don't think that low expectations necessarily enter into it because she's such a pampered princess. She expects to be loved.

This is what I think. It's just not imaginable to her that anyone could not love her. Plus, she wanted Pete, she got Pete and she believes that means always and forever, even in his thoughts.

After the "never could hold his liquor" comment, I can't imagine that the subject of his alcoholism wouldn't come up.
Wouldn't it be great if Don started his own agency (raiding Sterling Cooper for the good people), and then Peggy was his rival? :) Of course, that wouldn't happen, Peggy would probably follow Don, because Sterling Cooper wouldn't be smart enough to recognize her talent and entice her to stay with a promotion.
