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.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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.

Though in a way she might be. All the indications are that Betty was very different before marrying Don. She was a successful model (which requires a hell of a lot hard work - looks are not enough). She had completed her degree at a time when even a lot women who went to college (a small minority to begin with) settled for their "Mrs". She spoke fluent Italian.
Megan said yes awfully fast, like wotshername did to Rodger. I wonder if Megan after marriage might prove less awesome and more Betty like. More likely, she really is awesome and just made a terrible mistake, chemistry overwhelming good judgement as sometimes happens to the best of us.

That was a great little scene with the milkshake.

I don't think she's like Betty at all. I can't imagine that Betty ever showed the self-awareness or maturity that Megan showed in her early interactions with Don. (Of course, I never bought the Italian thing. You don't whip out a language 10+ years later like that. I've always felt that was one of the most out of character things they ever did on this show.)
