Damages speculation: I think the person who tried to kill Ellen was Patty's lightbulb-man or one of his crew which might explain why Ellen didn't know who he was because she'd never met him. And lightbulb man or his surviving crew cleaned up the mess.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

So, do all good firms of attorneys have a wetworks team?

Sure. We just call them the billing office.

Wolfram,
I agree with the speculation, but I would go further. I think Frobisher is behind the attacks. He has the most to gain by killing Patty/Ellen and perhaps he had an inkling that a tape showed up in Ellen's place.
Whether the crew is associated with Patty is up for discussion.

Right. I mean, didn't he take out somebody else in much the same fashion that Moore was taken out?

Mad Men: Over at TWOP somebody suggested that the character of Rachel may be based on the life of Geraldine Stutz.
It seems pretty likely.

perhaps he had an inkling that a tape showed up in Ellen's place.
The preview for next week certainly makes it seem that way.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That is a great, loving review, though I disagree pretty strongly with his take on Betty.

Which part, that she's willfully blind to Don's infidelity or that she has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old? I think the former is true and the latter is not so much that she is emotionally immature, but that she has taught herself to react to things in an emotionally stunted matter. I think a contemporary therapist would get to those issues much faster than the 1960's era Dr. Psychobabble.
