No, she didn’t. Did you assume that because Abe and Peggy had a fight and Peggy gave a handjob to a guy at the movies?
The last we heard from Abe was when Peggy called him after talking with Ginsberg at the office (the “I’m a martian” conversation). She asked him to come over. He presumably doesn’t know about her movie theater handjob.
What age is Ginsberg meant to be?
Probably late 20s.
My dad used to order me Shirley Temples all the time when I was a kid. I got such a warm feeling when Roger got one for Sally (and all the guys he worked with did the same adorable pat on the shoulder thing to me all the time)… and then, yeah, thanks Mad Men, that’s my childhood you just took a shit on.
I love new empowered Roger, though! Not so much “banging Don’s mother in law” Roger, but before that point.
I was so upset by the dinner scene with Abe and Peggy - the cohabitation thing is so obviously not what she really wanted, and she sort of talked herself into it. I mean, this is 1966 - this is a political statement, and I’m not sure it’s one she meant to make.
ETA - is the saddest thing in the world to say to somebody not “So get a cat! They live about thirteen years. You get one, and then you get another one, and then you get another one, and then you’re done.”
I think eventually Peggy is going to end up leaving, possibly to another startup firm. She might even find the right business partner(s) to enable her to start her won firm.
I think they only have beans, not ketchup. It’d be funny if the ad campaign Mr Heinz loved so much turned out to be a complete flop.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Peggy and Pete end up holding all the cards or starting their own progressive firm.
I’ve been watching the first few seasons, and it’s amazing how bloated the old firm was. There was so much chaff.
Question: when would the switchboard gals have been made obsolete? They don’t seem to have made the jump to the new Time-Life HQ.
“Note that she allowed the waiter to take her untouched Shirley Temple (given by Roger) when she returned to the table.”
What better symbol of innocent childhood could there be than a Shirley Temple? The waiter asked, “Are you finished with this, Miss?” To which Sally effectively replied, “Finished with my childhood? Sure. Take it away.”
Well said.
French-Canadian wife. So, probably not all that far ahead. 
I smiled when Peggies bf* picked up his typewriter to leave the room. I have that exact typewriter!
*I think it was him, but whoever it was.
I know I watch too much TV, but I can’t look at Abe in 1966 without thinking about what he looks like today.
I was wondering about that. Did the Calverts come across as more French than French-Canadian? What about the accents? Neither of them started cursing so I can’t really tell if they sound more Parisian or Quebcois.
Re the go-go boots: Nancy Sinatra’s song “These Boots Were Made for Walking” came out in 1965, so they might have been seen in the fall of 1966. But Sally was still too young for them and too young to be wearing obvious/visible makeup. I graduated from high school in 1966, and wearing any makeup-- even for 17-year olds-- at school was a hanging offense. So for a 13-year old girl, it would not have been acceptable, even at a grown-up party.
I was exactly the same age as Sally in 1966 and I’m amazed at how right her character is week after week. So, yeah, her boots were too high and her hair looked like Betty hair, not Carnaby Street Mod-wannabe kid hair, but the dress, the make-up fight with dad, the late night secret phone calls, the Shirley Temple and the shock and were all perfect.
I haven’t loved an episode so much since Don called her to say he bought Beatles tickets.
I don’t think he’s a Heinz by name. Stan or someone refers to him as “Mr. Heinz,” but I think that was a joke.
Maybe towards the very end. I’m not sure the show as a show could survive being split up between two firms and the home life stories.
The credits list him as Raymond Geiger, played by John Sloman. His wife was Alice Geiger, played by Robin Pearson Rose. Coincidentally they both appeared in the same episode of Grey’s Anatomy once.
Although I wouldn’t want to move people around now, having heard that the show will end years in the future from where they are now I thought it would be nice if the “today” version was a bustling agency like Draper Olsen, with Megan and Peggy in the role filled by Cooper in the beginning of the show. Old, know the tricks, not really in the day to day but there, just enjoying the legacy.
That’s a rumor that’s never been confirmed, and may well have been officially denied.
