Victor Kiriakis!I feel drunk just watching Don in this episode. The shit spiral continues. Though, those flashbacks were interesting -- it was weird to see Don acting so forward and eager... and then conning his way into Sterling Cooper. And I know that Holly will recognize Don/Dick's blackout hookup from JOAN OF ARCADIA. Hilarious.
Peggy was definitely the highlight of this episode -- what's the opposite of a shit spiral? Gold square? Whatever it is, Peggy's in it. Is this the first episode that we've seen this new art director in? I don't remember him from any earlier episodes, and he's obnoxious. Peggy wins in the end though -- like she's consistently been winning all season. Whatever happened to that journalist guy from the closet? Her reaction to Don's hiring Roger's wife's cousin was great.
The scene between Pete and Ken was wild. Pete is really drawing his line in the sand now that he has his name on the wall, in the most insufferable way possible. I always interpret Ken to be the nice, competent, easy going person who is so thrown off by Pete's out-of-left-field territoriality that he just shrugs him off. The transition from Pete's "we play by MY rules" speech to "how's your fiance?" was incredible.
Peggy is my own personal god, and I think I will start worshipping her along with greek gods and goddesses. But besides that, remember how Don got up to receive his award and kissed Joan--?? I think something (I don't what) is going to continue from there, it was weird and incomplete. ANd yes, boygirl from joan of arcadia rocked my world. Pete bores me, and his wife makes me want to peel the skin off of my face. update soon, please.
