Mad Men: Pete's Sweet and Betty is Dirty



Crazy episode last night. I love the way they're softening up Pete. First he's an integrationist, but only cause it makes money in the ad world, and that's the only thing that should matter. And Now, he feels bad about kissing his wife after raping the neighbors babysitter. Oh and he also feels bad that he's annoyed his neighbor by making his babysitter cry. The neighbor's a real peach too, his advise to Pete is to keep it out of the building.??? Hard to believe that this was once the way the world worked.
Then there was Betty, she seemed a little less than please with the Governors advisor kissing her, but she also seemed like she felt she owed it too him. I guess the lesson from these to plot lines is if you find yourself in the 60's don't let a man do you a favor. Because he will definitely expect some sex back in return, and apparently you come across.
The whole thing with Betty and Don in Rome was great. You got a real sense of who Betty was before she got married, and sidelined to the slow lane. I wanna see some flash backs of Betty in the old days. The whole scene with her fending off the lotharios and telling Don they called him ugly...Priceless.
Anyway that's my recap...Ohhh and Sally kissing that boy in the tub...

Last nights Mad Men Wrap Up


I'm still worried about Joan, she wasn't even in last night episode so we got no news on that front. Still there was enough going on without her. I had been thinking what a nice young man our Don Draper was becoming, but it looks like we're heading back to the days of going out for drinks instead of picking up a birthday cake for his kid. And what was the story with that hallucination with his father?? Is Don saying that he thought his life was going to be a party but it turns out he's just going to get screwed by a hill billy???
Then there was Betty's new couch...And what was up with her comment about the decorating and the baby not suppose to have happened at the same time. Could it be that she was faking the due date and our little Gene is really that guy in the bars baby instead of Don's from that time on the floor at her parents??
And finally Peggy and Duck, I didn't think Duck had it in him. And really he doesn't seem like Peggy's type, but que sera sera (I have no idea how to spell that). Looking forward to next week.
Sorry one last question why was the name of the episode Seven twenty three? I know that was the date Don signed the contract, but I'm confused.
