'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Well, cliches are cliches cause there are true bits, right?
Yeah, they are. But I feel as we've gotten so spoiled in how Matt Weiner treats clichés and thoroughly turns them on their ears. This seemed as predictable as anything he's done and I know... it's stupid for me to harp on one teensy thing. Because again, knowing Matt Weiner, he'll find a way to flip it. Eventually.
Don might actually be a decent parent if that era allowed a man to be more involved with his kids. He's more patient, less judgmental.
He's taught them how to make a mean drink, what more do you need?
I feel like tomboy Sally could go to war herself -- I can't imagine the family would approve.

Emmett makes a very creditable martini.
And I think Jen liked the G&T he made for her more than the one I did.
I'm starting to get annoyed at the math involved in Betty's pregnancy-- the Derby party would have been held on May 4th, 1963 and the self-immolation of the Vietnamese monk was on June 11. Kennedy's televised address about the Cuban Missile Crisis was on October 22 (Betty's pregnant and has her assignation with the handsome Captain Awesome-shaped stranger).
Assuming she was about six weeks pregnant, by all means, she should have popped by now. Or be ready to explode within the next episode which takes place about two weeks after this one, judging by the previews.
Barb,
are we positive the stranger is not the baby's father?

Yep. The beginning of that episode was her at the doctor's office having her pregnancy confirmed and there's also a scene in the episode where she discusses the situation with her friend, Francine, saying it's not a good time for her to be pregnant.
The pregnancy occurred during that bout of comfort sex on the floor of her childhood bedroom when they visited her father a few episodes before.
ETA: Which happened in Ep. 10, at the end of which, is when Don takes off for California on the business trip and then he was gone for something like three weeks, IIRC.
okay then. I guess the math is weird!
Did anyone else laugh when Betty told her father that he was selfish? It didn't even occur to Betty to comfort our daughter.
