I love how we're totally pants about our speculation!
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.
I really wanted a fainting couch for this house. I wanted to put it in the sunroom, where one could slounge luxuriously and bask in the winter sun.
But I didn't get one. Because fainting couches and Japanese minimalism are so not of one accord. However, I do have an awesome window seat in there now that the SO built for me, on which I can slounge to my heart's content. I need some more cushions, though.
It was way in the way in Betty's house, though, and she bought it just for the random guy in her life who's not Don.
I'm trying to convince myself that she bought it for herself, that works-for-the-governor guy just sort of gave her permission to get it, but you are probably right.
she totally bought it for governor connection guy. Who totally came to Ossining just to see her.
My sister-in-law actually bought one, it's in the living room right now! It's been there for about 2 years.
I mean, she was definitely asserting herself, asserting her own will on her house. But she was doing it for governor guy for sure.
