Back in TV land, Mad Men continues to captivate me! One of the nicest, sweetest, kindest things Don Draper – the man, the husband, the son-in-law – does is telling Betty’s brother to suggest that their father moves in at the Draper residence, now that his second wife’s left him, that they’ll look after him (so that Betty will seem the caring daughter and her brother William won’t be able to lay his hands on the house). But do they know what they’ll be in for? That night they catch him flush all the liquor down the drain! Sheesus! When he loses five bucks all hell breaks loose! I love that he lets his granddaughter read to him from Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire! Hahahah!
At Sterling Cooper, the creative team is working on the new ad for Pepsi Patio Diet Cola ... but on top of that they’re told they’ll need to brainstorm ideas for the Bacardi account. Peggy, Paul and Smitty will have to work together over the weekend to come up with concepts by Monday. Naturally, they don’t feel much like working, the session goes nowhere. Alcohol isn’t getting them anywhere, so the guys suggest getting some marijuana for inspiration! Even Peggy participates. Paul tells her she’s won’t like it, and she retorts he has no idea what she likes. There! Later, Paul and his weed running pal sing “Hello My Baby.” Peggy stares at them and says “I am so high.” Heehee!! Peggy’s new, matronly secretary is worried, but Peggy tells her she needn’t be afraid. I love that Peggy Olson!
Meanwhile grey old man Roger Sterling is throwing a party at the country club with his adorable bride-to-be Jane (one of Don’s former secretaries). Betty bought a dress for the occasion (she’s highly pregnant, of course) and looks ever the angelic vision. What a stunning beauty! The party’s an awkward event. Roger sings “My Home in Kentucky” to Jane in blackface. The whole party Jane’s playing the happy gal, getting drunk. (She’s cute as a button and quite convincing; I can imagine why Roger wants to believe they’re in love.) Don tells Roger that no one thinks they are happy, “They think you’re foolish.” At the end of the party, while Roger slow dances with Jane, Don and Bets embrace on the lawn. Oh, how sweet love is! Meanwhile, Bets has been approached by a man, and Don met someone, too. We don’t yet know who they are, but stay tuned...
