SCDP didn't get the Honda account, did they?
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

No, but because of Don's strategic maneuver they'll get first crack at Honda's car business.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right, because Honda "never intended" to leave Grey (Grey?) with their motorcycle business...because they`re tricksy and false? I dunno what the point of that premise was.
And you`re probably right about that, Jessica; even in the eighties it was hard for a Japanese company to do business without That Guy somewhere in the company, so Honda would likely have been used to that treatment at this time.
By the time I was working for the big Japanese manufacturer in the 90`s it did not appear to be as big a deal. Although I was export sales, so I was mostly dealing with, say, how New Zealand perceived they should do business with a Japanese company.

That's a thing all big business does with their agencies. See also pitting print/broadcast/web agencies against each other for control of the creative.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
...because they`re tricksy and false?
Because if they make Grey think they're going to leave, Grey is motivated to woo them back (lower rates, better media packages, more attention, etc).

Particularly with the upcoming car business.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's standard practice in all kinds of business.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here's a great bunch of Mad Med behind-the-scenes pictures from Rolling Stone. I'm linking to one in the middle because love the incongruity: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god. I've just been reading the White Collar thread at TWOP, and boy, are they full of hate.
I know I can't judge the fandom as a whole by what I see there, but there is a lot of (proportionally) concern that Neal's been dumbed down this season, and Peter's been propped up.
I've also read second-hand that there's a lot of Sara hate (I didn't go that far back in the thread to see what they said about her episodes, but what little mention of her I did read was almost ad hominem negativity).
It's always weird reading such starkly dissimilar viewpoints to your own taken as close to gospel (there is a "Peter was always cool" debate going on, thankfully). I just...I just never even had the idea flit across my mind.
Though I do think they dress Sara ridiculously.
