"Romantical". LOL. Is that you, Flavor Flav, boyeee?

Plus, he had no idea whether Ted was competent to fly in a storm or  not. I would have taken the train.

Soon, Joan will probably either get rid of Meredith or have Meredith take notes and have Moira supervise the Robert's Rules of Order proceedings, or vice versa.

At CGC, wouldn't Moira have taken the notes (which Joan used to do) and run the meeting (as Joan now does)? Despite the two companies' having merged on paper, there's been insufficient role definition and trust building for Moira to not feel she needs to look out for the CGC folks and for Meredith to not continue…

Ted's secretary's offering her seat to Pete gave her a leg up over Pete, too.

Technical question: What percentage of the new company does each partner own?

Correction:  Peggy only got a little break from working with THOSE assholes. Now that she's back, with CGC's junior asshole copywriters in tow.

Cosgrove, walking by, stops to light a cigarette and take in the show from outside the glass door.

Wanna bet Bob Benson speaks German, and goes with them to carry their luggage, squire them around, and procure things for them?

Oui, oui.

Yes, Pete's a partner, too. He didn't have the money to buy in, so Don paid it for him. But Pete's insecure because: (1) that's his nature, (2) he just lost his father-in-law's huge account, (3) the Dr. Scholl's account he claims creative fell down on was on Pete's roster, (4) Don's firing Jaguar torpedo's SCDP's IPO…

True…doesn't go with the image she projects…and she doesn't want people speculating in unflattering ways, given that she's already seen as a harlot who whored her way into a partnership.

All that. And Peggy wasn't taking confession. I'm not Catholic, but I imagine the priest would think that, and making the assigned penance, would be prerequistes to saving her soul.

Peggy's mom: Yes, SatelliteInternetIsSkynet. If you're lonely, get a cat. And when one cat dies, get another one.

Bob sure didn't look too sunny when he processed Burt Peterson's advice to stick his head between his legs and kiss his ass goodbye. And he seemed really self-aware when he told Joan he'd "bother her all the way out" so they could fly under the radar.

CGC's Copywriters: taking notes. Whispering in each other's ears. ROFL…but then, like the weather Ted flew through…my mind cleared, and I realized how sad it was that those jerks survived the cut, but Margie didn't.

But Don/Dick's both!

"I guess then he realized there was more screaming he had to go back inside and listen to?"

I think the service elevator door is immediately across from their kitchen entrance, while the front door is down the hall from the elevator.  I believe Don might have eavesdropped on the Rosens from the service elevator (the appropriate lift for Dick Whitman, the little spy who peeked through keyholes in the brothel,…

Don's two, two, two people in one. Don Draper is manipulative and powerful and dominant.  And Dick Whitman's still an insecure little whore-child. Sylvia saw both in that one episode.
