Except I didn't really need to know what Paul did for inspiration and/or relaxation during those late nights in the office.
Did anyone else's heart stop when Peggy paused outside of his office?
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Mine did. I was totally waiting for her to walk in there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
May I just say...of course the Brits are selling Sterling-Cooper. Because it wouldn't be this season if the show did not exactly replicate my life in every single aspect, now would it???
My skin was crawling during that phone call. Good lord, show, would it be too much to ask for just a little bit of escapism?
I love how they waited until we'd pretty much gotten over feeling like Don's identity was a threat to him, for Betty to find it. The moment of crisis had passed in the office, but where it does matter, at home, it was still in full force. I mean, it's Betty's name.
Yes, and who knows what she actually thinks is the real story based on the documents in that box. I doubt she'd be able to piece together the real events.

Oh, and I predict that Grey will buy Sterling Cooper and they'll all wind up working for Duck again.

Oooh, I like that idea!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As long as it's after he hires Joan.... I finally caught up on the last five episodes, and am still worried about Joan and Sal both.

She probably thinks that the just hasn't told her that he was divorced.
And I think that we'll get Joan next week!

There was Joan (and her husband) in the previews, so we'll get updated on that, I'm sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
She probably thinks that the just hasn't told her that he was divorced.
And that he bought his ex-wife a house. And that he has a drawer full of cash. None of those pictures looked like a recognizable younger Don, but it's evidence of life she knows nothing about. Is Betty the kind of person to make up a story that explains all that? I suspect she is, so much remains unsaid in all her relationships. But what that stoy would be, I don't know.
But, yeah, "you never told me you were married before" is big enough.
I was trying to picture how Betty would react if Don just told her the whole truth and I have no idea.
BTW, I don't think that is exactly bolt money. It's emergency money, for the kind of emergencies that he can't tell Betty about (like his brother back in the first season) but it's purpose to is to keep him in his fake life, up to a point, at least. He does have more of an option to disappear than most of the guys on his street, but I think he would hate to leave his kids. Sure, he isn't with them all that much, but when we do see him with them he's much warmer and more loving than Betty seems to be.
