Wash ,'War Stories'
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I think it's significant that Peggy is more in command. She has a collaborator that she's sympatico with (much more than the milquetoast "fiancee") and can casually order off to rough up a sketch in charcoal without a loss of respect. She's owning her failures, too, and pushing back at Don.
Don's a jerk, especially now... but Betty is a double-plus-jerk.
It was like,
Step 1: Acquire cigarette.
Step 2: ...
Step 3: Explosion!
So the underpants gnomes set the fuse!
Theo: Yeah, Peggy's self-confidence has grown by an order of magnitude.
Frank: Exactly!
I suspect Rogers will get called on the fuse in his blog Q&A and give some kind of rationale. Hopefully someone will bring up the Sophie name thing too.
SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW.
I really can't believe I'm going to be in a log cabin in Canada for the next 3 eps. Good thing I'm taking that Monday off to decompress - I can mainline 'em before I go back to work.
I loved the slow reveal of Joan's position in the firm, with the initial shot of her office leading into the scene where we see it's kind of a converted hallway.
How long are they going to keep pulling off that "2nd floor" gag? Also loved the conference room with no table.
Poor Don, always wanting to have everything both ways. Last year we saw how hollow his desire for marriage/kids/suburbs was - will this year be the same for his desire to be a named partner? He's lost his protective bubble of being just Creative - being the firm's secret weapon was always his comfort zone.
Henry's mom = TEH AWESOME. "I know what you see in her, and you could have got it without getting married."
She has got Betty's NUMBER. I am glad someone in Showverse finally noticed what a bad nother she is.

Yeah, I just took a look and there's already a bunch of comments asking about that.
Leverage: Were we supposed to fully understand how Hardison set that fuse, because I sure as hell didn't.
I thought maybe he was picking up matches that Soldier boy spilled.
I was handwaving though.
Also, re Leverage - nice to see Clancy Brown again.
I thought maybe he was picking up matches that Soldier boy spilled.
I thought that's what he picked up, along with the cigarette itself. It was a cigarette fuse that lit a box of matches that blew up a gas tank.
