Tom was privy to private information, research, and "work product" of Patty's team.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Isn't that more of a confidentiality issue? Since the client had already fired Patty PRIOR to hiring Tom, what he was privy to couldn't hurt her business.

Trust my rage
But Tom is now representing the side that Patty used to represent, correct? (I don't think you said explicitly.) Anyway, if that's the case, then I don't see a conflict.

That's correct, Stephanie.

I think that it would be a real conflict of interest if he switched to Frobisher's side. I'm not sure how Tom's involvement in the case working with Patty would conflict when he was (briefly) representing them solo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
MM: Aww, Sal! Loud but shy! And such an utter and complete lack of clue!
(Also, now taking bets on whether Pete becomes a serial killer this season or it's the big surprise over the hiatus...)

Mad Men: Seconding amych's awww. Hee!
Also, we got a big reveal for Don's parentage. But in a way that I think still leaves it a little bit open for passing.

My cable was messing up and I don't think I recorded it, I know AMC will replay it, but I'm dying to know -- what was the reveal?

Re Mad Men -- I think that Sal is aware of being gay, he just doesn't want to be. Or he doesn't want the life that being gay entails. He'll go out to dinner and flirt, but he won't follow through with it because he wants to be successful, and he wants to make his mother happy. That means a wife and kids. I see him dating that poor girl from the switchboard and her wondering what's wrong with her because he never tries anything.
Also, what the hell is wrong with Peggy? She sleeps with Pete the night before his wedding, has crazy sex on his office couch, and then he says something shitty that basically means "I only want to fuck you", and her feelings get hurt. I mean, he did lead her on a bit in the office, but be realistic. And after that, she still came to his office the next morning. Have some pride!
Also, the dynamic of Don and his girlfriend is wierd. I get the whole let's go to Paris/no I have plans thing, but why did he give her the check? I looked it up and $2500 was about 17K in 1960 money. He could have used the bonus to make up for giving all of that money to his brother. I did like his final line "no, YOU can't leave".
I also liked the bits from his past. I guess that his mom didn't remarry, he was either taken in by the religious woman with the dishonest husband or the husband was the father of the "whorechild" baby. That was pretty damn harsh.
