Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Peggy was all class for not throwing Don's actions back at him, especially when he said that he was responsible for all of the good things that happened to her (although he was kinda right).
What about the pact with Ken?

I suspect the secret title of this episode was "Joan Takes One For The Team".
Still, a 5% partnership is like unto a millon dollar offer in 2012 terms, so it's not like she's pricing herself cheaply.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I guess. but I am concerned that if $50K would ruin them, how is 5% going to turn out in the long run - esp with the chief embezzler.

Oh, man.
I thought Don telling Joan not to do it after she already had hurt, but Peggy leaving = actually tears. Damn.

Lane's so screwed. Possibly he will destroy everything in his efforts not to get caught.

I don't think that the 50K was a problem, but since he had already extended their credit line for the "bonuses", he knew that he couldn't ask for another 50K. He had to find a way to placate Joan that didn't cost actual cash.
I wonder if she would have gone through with it if Don had talked to her before the "meeting".

Vortex,
he said $50K in the short run would cause them financial problems. Lane said that to Joan openly.

Yeah, the 50K wouldn't have been a problem if not for Lane's prior shenanigans with the credit line.
I'm thinking they would have won without Joan's assistance. That presentation was a homerun.
