I conditionally disagree with calling that ep filler. Don's hit rock bottom (I hope), Peggy's dissatisfaction is boiling over (and while I really dug her last night, her foil was a one-note paper cutout of a chauvinist pig), Cosgrove is back in the fold, and - somewhat significantly - Don's last conquest called him "Dick." If any of that winds up going somewhere, I'd say there was a narrative point to it.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Art Crawl!!!
Peggy totally rocked.
I didn't think it was filler either - lots of significant things as noted by Corwood.
Huh, totally missed her calling him "Dick" - and I certainly hope that this is rock bottom for Don.
The interplay between Layne and Campbell seemed significant to me too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Peggy did indeed rock mightely!
I hope Don doesn't have too much further to slide. He is not that interesting in this mode. Though I did love the glimpses into how he joined the firm and how it paralleled Danny being hired.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do wonder when/if Roger realized that he hadn't actually hired Don.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not just you, homegirl. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don's last conquest called him "Dick."
AND she was a diner waitress. Friday night with the fellow Clio winner, Saturday night with a waitress calling him Dick. Saturday day must have been ROUGH.

We'll have to ask his sister about that.

And that was a great Rubicon. Much better show with good writers.

I do wonder when/if Roger realized that he hadn't actually hired Don.
You think? I assumed that he did hire him in a drunken stupor but that it wasn't shown onscreen. It didn't occur to me that Don might have conned Roger.
