Joan has the willpower to hold off Roger, though. Even if he took out an full-page ad to proclaim the baby his, she'll stick to her story.
(Now I'm wishing that she hires Carla to be her baby's nanny while she continues at SCDP.)

Does Joan's husband seem to you like the kind of guy who can do simple arithmetic?

She can get the doctor on board to induce a little early I bet.

If he's away when the baby's born, I wouldn't put it past Joan to pull the actual date back to an earlier one so the numbers match up. This is Joan, we're talking about. The moment she decided to keep the baby, she figured out all the pertinent details.

OK I'll give you that Joan is super-competent. Dr. Rapey is an idiot. She'll find a way to fool him if she wants to. Or force him accept the baby as his even if he figures it out.

I have to laugh at this comment from an ad exec:
Still, I couldn't help but beam with pride when Peggy pitched—and won—the Topaz Hosiery account. I particularly loved that she was wearing the product. This is an age-old "rule" of agency life that unfortunately is not closely adhered to on Madison Avenue today: Use your (potential) client's product!
Er, did they not realize that Peggy was bullshitting when she said that? That was part of why her pitch was so successful!

Didn't see all of Rubicon yet.
MM: You know, I think that when Don is in California he is more "himself" - and maybe that being with Megan in that setting is actually why he proposed. Not just that she is so good with the kids. He's more relaxed in California and she is also a more relaxed personality. Maybe he is trying to get some of that into his life back East.

I also liked the way that she reacted when Sally spilled the milkshake. the look of shock on Don and the kids' faces when she said it was no big deal was really terrific. It's like he realized that it wasn't a big deal and he didn't have to be upset.
