Meanwhile, Pete is one fucked-up human being. This is not news, I suppose, but it's clear that he could actually have been a nice guy with some therapy.

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Betty sure slammed the door shut when they got home. Icy, icy, icy.
Oh, and I loved the flirting in the piazza between the two of them.

That scene was spectacular, right down to the cranky spurned Italians at the next table over.
All it was missing was Spike and Dru on a Vespa in the background saying "Ciao."
Also, holy crap Pete - every time I think you can't possibly be any more pathetic, you set the bar a little lower.
Kudos to my woobie VK for playing such a dickish role with so little self-consciousness. Many actors wouldn't be able to go there without trying to make Pete somehow charming to the audience. (Taking his shirt off without unbuttoning it like that! What a tool!)
That scene in the piazza was amazing. Pure magic-y goodness. And it cracked me up that called Don old and ugly. Ha!!
And lordy how I want Betty's dress.
Ta-Nehisi Coates has a really meaty discussion of last night's ep going on in his blog.
thanks! I read his blog every day but I haven't had a chance to today...
From a purely business perspective, why isn't Pete going out to Fishers Island on the weekend? They made a point of saying that was where his family summered. For Bethlehem Steel alone, it would make sense.
I do think Pete's in Beat Ken Cosgrove At All Costs mode... and also there's been some friction with Trudy's parents.

That's what I mean, why doesn't he insist they go to Fishers Island, instead of whereever her parents go? He's an account guy, he should be hobnobbing with his clients.
