I like that we are seeing the Bert Cooper that made Sterling Cooper.
I agree. Bert Cooper knows about bottom lines.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Bert Cooper didn't need to call Betty, either.
Peggy really is following in the steps of her mentor. ::snerk::

Re Bert Cooper - I did love his "I hear he's eccentric" with a big fat closeup of his stockinged feet, and the looks that got exchanged afterwards by everyone else in the room.
Damn - so good seeing Robert Morse on a regular basis. I really need to see How to Get Ahead In Business... again sometime soon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We know Mark Moses, who plays Duck. So the seduction was even skeevier because, hey, that's Mark, who I first met when he was 16 and was 18. I mean, yikes!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love how we're totally pants about our speculation! (Not that a lot of it couldn't still happen!) I have no idea where this show is going, but it's brilliant how it goes there.
Seriously skeevy with Duck.
Also, I find the Don/Roger breakup very sad. I know it's been sort of inevitable for a long time, but I loved those scenes of camaraderie from the early shows. And with Don & Betty's relationship still seriously strained, he's one isolated puppy. Although, let me just say for the record that screwing your kid's teacher so not the way to relieve that tension.

I know, right? After that opening shot of Don on the floor, I said "oh well" and then reached for the (metaphorical) popcorn.
Peggy really is following in the steps of her mentor.
What I can't figure out is who is using who? I'm worried about Peggy.

Peggy is a survivor and despite what Don snits, she knows what/when to ask. I'd be more worried about Duck.

Nicely done, muppets.
Peggy's lonely. When she meets men her own age, she tells them she's a secretary, presumably so they won't be intimidated. Duck at least seems to like that she's talented and ambitious.
I kind of love that Betty bought the fainting couch, but her decorator was right, it's awful blocking the fireplace like that.

For the record, I'll be happy to take that couch if Betty gives up on it. I would cheerfully remake my living room around it.
