He was stoned.
I was so hoping it would turn out to be the pre-Styx Tradewinds.
Do you think Don knows what Harry said about Megan?
No. I don’t think that Megan would tell him; not only is it embarrassing for her, but if she did tell Don, he basically either has to do something or to tell her he’s not willing to do anything. Neither situation benefits her in either that office or her marriage.
I suppose it’s theoretically possible that Stan might tell other people and it could get back that way, but it seems unlikely, since I can’t imagine that Stan wouldn’t be wary of incurring Don’s ire.
Slight hijack, but did anyone else catch Klaus dressed as Joan Harris from Sunday’s American Dad episode? 
I have to think that Don would have been as much of a buzzkill with Megan’s cool friends on Fire Island, as he was a buzzkill with the cool kids backstage .
That was actually more clever: “It’s always darkest before the Dawn over there.”
Dawn, of course, being the name of Don’s new secretary. Once again, Roger proves he’s the cleverest and racist.
I didn’t know that was her name, so Roger indeed scores on both accounts.
That was the joke in the beginning of the episode: Dawn and Don and the “confusion”.
Okay, I didn’t get that one either. I thought Harry was talking about having a Mr. Draper and a Mrs. Draper in the office and it struck me as a lame joke. I suppose it was a rather lame joke anyway. 
It went past me. I caught that her name was the “same” as Don’s but my brain took it too literally and I assumed her name was Donna or something.
What?
He thought it was “Don and Don(na)”, not “Don and Dawn”.
I got that part. It’s this part that I can’t make sense of:
How is “Donna” more “literal” than “Dawn”?
Don=Don(na)…? (as opposed to homophones)
I was trying to reconcile a name with D-O-N. Don’t think too hard on it… I obviously didn’t
I couldn’t help noticing that Dawn is pretty easy on the eyes. I wonder if…
Nah, Don’s not that progressive.
I don’t know, he was hanging with that Jewish client, and that bohemian girl in the Village.
That’s interesting. I had a totally different take on the show ending with Sixteen Going on Seventeen. I was hit by the difference between the girls backstage at the Stones concert and the cheesy innocent kids singing the song.
I interpreted Betty and Sally eating the sundaes as Betty trying to build up some happy times between her and the kids, but trying too late. Sally’s not interested in having sundaes with mom. It’s boring.
I did find it funny how Harry was trying desperately trying to fit in with the kids backstage, and failing miserably. Don, on the other hand, wanted to find out what they kids were thinking. He really didn’t seem to care that he didn’t fit in.
Roger is obsolete and doesn’t seem capable of changing.
Roger doesn’t even HAVE to be obsolete. I’d guess that there’s no shortage of guys his age who own businesses and would enjoy (or even expect) the “old way” of boozing and schmoozing. I get the impression that, as much as anything, Roger is just getting lazy. Aside from trying to poach Pete’s clients, the last time we saw him try to work for anything was his desperate attempt to call clients after Lucky Strikes pulled out. Then it was a bunch of folks he hadn’t spoken to in years, people who had died, etc. It was obvious that Roger was just riding the Lucky Strikes account and not bothering to do anything else.
Would a doctor’s office even give Betty the test results over the phone like that in the first place? :dubious: IIRC there’s been several threads regarding doctors who won’t reveal test results one way or the other except in person, and I can’t imagine Betty would, in a era where terminal patients were often lied too about their conditions (with their families told instead) be told she had fatal cancer over the phone. Of course she couldn’t just been told she needed come in for her results and simply lied to Henry. :smack:
