3.4 The Arrangements Grandpa's teaching Sally to drive. Dropping in on Peggy's family. You're going to be one of those girls? I am one of those girls. Jai alai? In 7 years, it'll eclipse baseball. Umm... This is such a bizarre product pitch. Pete is becoming Don. The New Don's conscience is pricking at him. Grandpa and Betty discussing life and death. Grandpa's WWI memorabilia. Son is a budding anti war activist. Sal and his beard. And I bet he can't go through with it after almost doing it with the bellhop. Man, I feel so sorry for both of them. She looks like she's figuring something out. This Patio commercial sounds truly terrible. Playboy's going to be learning a very expensive lesson about life. Grandpa's turning out to be a really interesting complex character. Grandpa's about to have a stroke? It reads like the stage directions from an Ibsen play. Hee! Don's box o' memories. Grandpa's playing favorites. That'll end well. Prospective Roommate. Hey It's That Girl. Awkward. Patio ad. Pulling out just like that? It's not Ann Margret. The ad's also not aimed at it's target audience, doofuses. Grandpa passed away. Aww...Peggy got her mom a new tv. I like the shot of the three women framed in the tv screen. Wow, Peggy's mom really is a piece of work. Did we know this before? Draper family grieving. It's all the bad vices we Americans have, wrapped up into one scene: alcohol, cigarettes, tv Vietnam War. This is going to give Sally nightmares and Betty is going to regret ever telling Sally to go watch tv.

3.5 The Fog
Parent Teacher conference. Ah, this the dancing barefoot teacher. Sally's acting out due to her grief. Trying to protect children from death. More for the parents' benefit than the children.
I just really want everything to be OK for the baby. Hey, don't tempt fate there, Betty.
It's going to be a beautiful summer. Famous last words?
Ugh, it's one of those meetings.
Marx and economics. Man, I love Paul. I can almost forget how he assaulted Peggy in the pilot.
Duck has ducks on the wall behind him. Heh.
This teacher seems kind of dangerous for Don.
Ah, the baby is coming. Don's not going to be there, of course. Betty's not going to breast feed.
Nurse is Hey It's That Girl.
This whole scenario is sad and depressing. Where's the joy? Where's the love?
You're an honest guy; believe me, I'm an expert. Hmm...
A new baby is a fresh start.
Peggy and Duck talking. Interesting. Duck's got a business proposition for them. Yep. This is a really interesting scenario; I'm not sure what I think of it.
We've got bigger problems to worry about than TV. You're thinking about this in a very narrow way...The American Dream.
A very telling scene there.
Ebony magazine. Exploiting blacks as consumers, not just women. But Pete's exploitative vision is not appreciated.
Peggy standing up for herself. #woot2# Don's dismissing Peggy like the Admiral guys dismissed Pete. They're both going to regret it.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Yay, it's what's her name again.

We're not getting to OB/GYN until next year but we've already discussed the idea that giving birth flat on your back is much harder (and was noted by AT Still over a hundred years ago) but is still the most common position in hospitals today, because it's more convenient for the hospital staff. I posted the quote in the open topics thread since this subject can be controversial.

3.6 A Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency
Love the title.
The British are coming! The British are coming!!
They British are coming to see what makes Don tick. This should be interesting.
Aww...cute baby.
I can just imagine these kids rebelling like crazy in a couple of years.
Male bonding in the barber shop.
Roger is down with embracing the metrosexualism.
Dude, I wish I got a shoulder massage after getting *my hair* cut.
Joan's rotten husband stood her up and comes home wasted. What a prize. And he didn't get the position. Yep.
A doctor, not a surgeon, never will be a surgeon.
Ah, yeah. British guy is getting Joan's job. The CEOs going to see Oliver. Oh, the irony. Which appears to be lost on them.
Touring, touring, and now we get down to the meat of the matter. Sending British Guy to Bombay. "One of your greatest qualities is that you always do as your told." Um, yay?
Betty bribing Sally with toys. And giving Sally more body image issues.
Hey, that doesn't look like Barbie.
OMG, doing Joan's going away party while the British are still there.
Oh, Conrad Hilton's coming back into the story.
The champagne is bad, but Don continues to drink it.
Roger's searching for his sense of purpose.
More party.
British guy is scamming with a secretary.
Vietnam. The draft.
Oh, Peggy's saying all the wrong things to Joan and she doesn't even know it.
And the riding lawn mower is just an accident waiting to happen. And...there it is. Holy Crap. I hope Sterling Cooper has good health care.
Meeting with Conrad Hilton.
Another reference to snakes in this episode.
Believe me, somewhere in this business, this has happened before. Why am I not surprised?
Nice conversation between Don and Joan. Have they ever had a scene together before?
I bet he felt great when he woke up this morning.
Losing foot-->losing job? In the days before anti-discrimination act it was, I guess.
Aw man, I thought for sure Joan was going to tell Don what was really going on and he would figure out a way to help her.
OK, newsflash, parents: These are called *warning signs.* As in don't ignore them or everything is going to blow up in your face.
Love the song in the end.

3.7 Seven Twenty Three Wait who is this? Betty looking lovely OK, cutting back and forth. Or...there's going to be a flashback sort of thing? Huh? A redecorated living room. Gah!!!! It can only be chalked up to "it seemed like a good idea at the time," but this is exactly the kind of hideous stuff that thrift stores can't get rid of nowadays People gather around a fire, even if there isn't one. Very apropos for our time, no? Conrad Hilton, a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. I respect that. Don: no bible, no family photos You should have those things, they'll make you feel better about what you do. I'm feeling like the "center does not hold" theme is particularly strong this episode. Maybe I was late because I was spending time with my family reading the bible. hah! Hilton has needs. Dirty! And that's how Don acquired the Hilton account Women's meeting. Ah, the Junior League. development encroaching on environment and community. Ah, bringing back that guy that Betty met. Parallel scenes, Don and Betty's special connections. Defense contracts ramping up. Duck doesn't write his own gift cards, heh. Catholic connection. Is this Peggy's next big opportunity? Ah, the question of Don's contract. I bet it's the British who are making a fuss about the contract and not Hilton. And now we're back to the beginning? Or is this Betty dreaming the flashback? more school teacher. parallel indiscretions. Ah, father daughter day. Why can't you stare at the eclipse? What's it going to do really? Ominous or is it just impossible not to give every line in this show laden meaning? Ah, there's the couch. Wikipedia says that this is 7/20/63. Treading into dangerous territory, Don. How do people get along elsewhere? They don't have as much; they don't get as bored. Mmm-hmm. It is Peggy! I almost thought that but then changed my mind cause I thought the guy was supposed to be Don. Is the guy Don? Duck? The contract question again. I think Roger has replaced the office clowns as comic relief Don taking his frustration out on Peggy. Youch! Roger trying to get to Don through Betty. This episode is really fast paced. And Peggy turns it down. Damn! Ugh, it was Duck. EWWWWW!!!! I can't believe she took Duck up on the sex and not the job. But it's actually not so surprising that she would be turned on by her proposition. Ow my eyes!!! My poor eyes!!!! The contract question. Don drinking and driving again. Fabulous. Oh and picking up hitchhikers. This will end well. Hippies? Ah, wanting to avoid the draft through marriage. Don's going to end up in a threesome?! Are a spook? Nope, I'm in advertising. But you seem OK. Ah, phenobarbital and alcohol. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that! And there's good ol' dad. Oh darn, no threesome for Don, unless they were less fun in the olden days. And Betty buys the fainting couch. No offense lady, but I think the room was ruined before an antique was introduced into the mix. Cooper lays down the law. After all, when it comes down to it, who's really signing this contract anyway? dun, Dun, DUN!!!!

Who is Peggy sleeping with? WTF with the Don bloody face-plant on the floor? This is all aftermath of something horrible, isn’t it? We get no “XX hours earlier” title card, but it has to be, yes? Ooooh, decorating! Very mid-century modern. Which makes sense, what with this being mid-century and all. I love him being forced to admit he’s got visual ideas and not just retreat into manly “grunt-grunt-how-much-will-this-cost” stuff. Sunrise – average. Ha! ;D Oh, “Confessions of an Ad-man” – I never read it, but I’ve always been interested in it. This American Life did a piece on Julian Koenig, who claims that Ogilvy took credit for many of his ideas. If you're interested, the piece can be heard here: www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1303 I think you'd enjoy it! And this is the first time this episode that someone other than Don sat in Don's chair. The episode theme was the struggle for power. Connie made a point to arrive early (probably knowing Don would be caught off guard), sat at his desk and looked for clues about Don. Me too! She gets some pretty funny digs at Pete and he just takes it. I re-wound that scene and watched a few times, and I'm still a bit confused. Pete said something along the lines of, "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about Duck!" Worried that Duck will get hurt, the way he got hurt when Don squeezed him out? What? Why? I don't get it. And here we have more power play. Would Connie really care if Don was under contract or not? I don't think so. Connie is an eccentric, as Burt pointed out. This was all about Sterling Cooper gaining advantage over their poster boy. I wish Don would have realized that. January Jones was absolutely stunning when she entered the coffee shop wearing her boatneck dress and cat-eye sunglasses. That scene alone should win an Emmy for costume. Ah! Good catch, I'd forgotten about that. Overwhelmed? Is that what the kids are calling it these days? There is something off about that teacher. I think Don was surprised at her boldness. He's used to women being a bit more...coy. And here is another power play. The question is, is Peggy using sex as a weapon, or is Duck? I'm thinking it's Duck. Peggy may be screwed, in more ways than one. I don't think Duck is stable enough to give Peggy everything she wants, both in business and in her personal life. Notice that we still haven't seen Duck at his office at Gray? I am wondering if he even actually works there. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't trying to take Sterling Coopers employees away just for revenge. Or maybe he can't get a job at Gray on his own, so he thinks if he brings in Peggy and Pete, that will ensure him a spot. One way or the other, this is going to end badly. It skeeved me out. I know it was supposed to be hot, but Duck just does not do it for me. Plus I think Peggy should know better than to shit where she eats, so to speak. Heh. Betty was right in Don's face about it. Don was the one being taken for a ride, not the kids. And he was lucky--it could have been much worse. This is the second time we see someone sitting in Don's chair. Don keeps coming in late and finding people taking his power. Oh, Don. He just was making poor decision after poor decision this episode, wasn't he? The ill-timed smackdown on Peggy, then picking up the hitchhikers, and then finally signing the contract. Our hero has fallen. I think in the scene where Duck is calling Peggy there's a meeting going on in the room behind him, so I don't think he is lying about having the job.

The DVD commentary talks about how this episode is the death of Dick Whitman and that's significance of him signing the contract, which I certainly didn't get and it doesn't seem like anyone else did either
Actually, I got the impression from the commentary that the writer and director thought that things, like the idea of a "mystery" episode, came across a lot more clearly than they did. I think that the 3 bits at the very beginning not occurring at the exact same time like it was suggested made the episode a little fragmented for me.

3.8 Souvenir
Pete reading Ebony Magazine.
New York in August, a la Seven Year Itch.
Damn, Vincent Kartheiser looks good.
Oh, right. Betty's new project.
Dude, my grandma had that afghan on her couch. A couch that looked just like that. As a matter of fact, the decor of their house was very similar to the Drapers.
Wait, why does Vincent Kartheiser look like John Barrowman all of a sudden?
And where is Pete's wife?
I love how blunt Pete is. Heh.
Dude, I wouldn't say thank you until I know what Pete's going to do with the dress.
Dude, Betty just completely ignored Sally. I'm now imagining a voice in Sally's head going "Betty, Betty, Betty!" a la Brady Bunch Movie.
There's a saying in politics: when you have no power, delay. I'm going to have to remember that one.
Joan!!! Yay!!!!!
Doctor husband is thinking of doing psychiatry. Interesting.
This is the airport? Oh, they're in Rome already.
I wonder if they're going to actually show Rome, or just backdrops and stock footage.
Wow, what the hell did Betty do with herself? Ah, they're doing a whole roleplaying first date kind of thing.
Hot Damn!! Except I notice that Don doesn't take his clothes off
Aww...Sally's got the puberty thing going on.
Pete, Pete, Pete, what are you doing?
And Pete gets what's coming to him. Or not. I was really hoping for a punch to the face, but I guess how they rolled back then.
Trudy and Pete are turning out to be a far more stable couple than I thought they would be.
Ooh, Lake George. That's where my dad's family went when he was growing up.
Betty's having an Awakening.

3.9 Wee Small Hours
Business meetings at the wee hours of the night. The price of being in Connie's employ.
Mention of Dallas again.
Running into the teacher. This'll end well. MLK speech.
Now, that I can finally understand you, I'm less impressed with what you have to say. Ha!
Don's turned into the boss from hell. Of course, even I could tell that those ideas were bad.
Oh the irony of the guy hacking his lungs out during a cigarette commercial shoot.
Uh oh. The guy makes a pass at Sal and Sal rejects him. And he gets Sal fired, OMG!
It's my purpose in life to bring America to the world, whether they like it or not. We are a force of good...Everyone who saw our ways wanted to be us. Americans really believed that then...and many Americans believe that still. That's what's really defined American character since WWII. The thing is... if it's true, then why aren't we happier?
Goodness and confidence.
Don is more than a son to Connie, because he didn't have what they had
What a sad and beautiful scene.
A fundraiser at the Draper house. Fun! Carla, once again, knows all and says nothing.
Sal confesses to Don. And Don doesn't believe him? "You people." Holy Crap, Don!
What did Don have to do to Lee Garner, Jr to smooth this over, I wonder?
Oh my god, my heart is breaking for Sal.
We're not chauvinists; we just have expectations.
Most ad men believe that clients are what gets in the way of good work.
When I say I want the moon; I expect the moon.
The question of the South.
Wow, Betty is incredibly immature.
Good god, there's just no pleasing Betty, is there? Dude, I really want to smack her right now.
Wait, I thought Cooper was going to keep Roger away from Don.
Sal's going trolling.
What is the teacher playing at?
"Some one like you." Self vs the other common theme of the episode.

3.10 The Color Blue
Ah, so the Drapers are Christmas and Easter Christians.
Selling Grandpa's house.
Don's been spending his night, um, working.
And Betty's OK with him doing that, suggests that she's fallen out of love with him for good now.
Hey, this song or tv program was used in Mermaids.
If Don is parking his car outside her place, it seems
Yeah, I've always wondered that myself about the colors. Like everyone's favorite color is actually the same color just named differently
My job is communication to its essentials...but the truth is people may see things differently, but they don't really want to.
Sterling Cooper 40th.
Aquanet. Yeah, that sounds about as awkward as most commercials of the day. The revised commercial is only slightly less awkward
The dreaded contract.
Oooh, I love that print in Peggy's office of the hand holding the pencils.
The British are homesick.
I've been here 10 months and no ones ever asked me where I went to school. Heh.
Teacher wants Don to meet her brother. I knew she was dangerous.
Founders of Sterling Cooper.
40 would be an insignificant year if it weren't the average life span of a man in this business.
Ah, Roger was the one to recruit Don. Working at a fur company. Night school.
Aw, Sally's so proud to be answering the phone.
Working late. The Marilyn/Jackie campaign.
The telegraph is traditional.
Wow, Paul's going to 'bate to the ad?
Don's secret drawer. With money stockpiled up. So he can run if he has to. Except he can't because of the contract, but he's compulsively planning anyway.
Achilles the repairman.
Yeah, the moment of epiphany that completely baffles the person you're speaking too. This is why other people think creative types are nuts.
Passage of time. Don and teacher together on the train. Dangerouser and dangerouser. More passage of time.
Churchill rousing or Hitler rousing? Um, do I want to know which one he was going for?
Sterling Cooper's being sold. Such is business.
London office seems so cold and isolated.
Hmm... not teacher, not Henry, so...who was the mysterious caller? Some one trying to reach Carla?
Ah, the key to the secret drawer. And now Betty knows all of Don's secrets.
OK, brother has epilepsy then? Some sort of seizure disorder.
Longest. Evening. Ever.
Parallel to Joan waiting all night for rotten bastard husband to come home.
Dude, he never came home at all?
Lots of secret drawers in this episode.
A bit harsh with your wife there, dude, especially with the neglect and all.
Trials and tribulations of the creative process.
A janitor with a very bad memory. heh.
Phone vs telegram. Ephemerality of the phone. Hmm.
Betty Draper. Stunning as always.
Sterlings in their car. I have a feeling that Mama Sterling is going to be very entertaining this evening and a lot of people are going to be grateful for it.
British people in their car.

3.11 The Gypsy and the Hobo.
You wear it once. Plus, it's made out of plastic and it's crap. But you'd be hawking it if the client paid you enough, I bet.
Aww... Minnie Mouse!!
Betty's leaving with the children. So she's basically going to separate from Don without confronting him directly?
Lung cancer. The elephant in the room.
Ah, processed foods company. Pet food.
No other word for horse meat.
Love Roger's reaction to Don saying that he's eaten horse meat.
At least the pet food is still all meat at this point.
Even if I remove myself from the picture, I see a man who is not happy.
Rotten bastard husband interviewing. Oh, he's practicing for the interview
Dad had a nervous breakdown. So his whole family is fucked up. That explains why he's unable to have a healthy relationship with Joan.
I just wanted more than I thought I would want, but it will pass. Actually, I know for a fact it will. Hmm.
Joan calling Roger. Ah, asking for work.
Ah, selling Grandpa's house. And asking for legal advice wrt to the Don issue.
Roger catching up with his old beau.
That man got a plane with a man who was going to end WWII not run her father's dog food company. Hee!
I never understood that. They had peanuts in Europe. No one ever thought of that? Hee!
Roger gets the best lines.
Wow, Roger resists. "It's different with this girl." I was not expecting such strength from him. His relationship with Jane must be really serious.
Post Interview. Man, I can really feel for rotten bastard husband here. All of my classmates and I have this thought in the back of our heads that we have no idea what we would do if we some how blew it and couldn't do medicine anymore.
I do love that Joan hit him though.
Taste testing dog food.
Turn it off. I can't turn it off, it's actually happening! HA!
Don and teacher planning their getaway, which will no way end in disaster. Dude he drove right up to his house with the teacher? He is really asking to be caught.
And Betty finally confronts him. I'm bouncing with anticipation. Holy fuck this is a great scene.
Are you thinking of what to say or are you just looking at that door?
Isn't that against the law? Hee! I don't know why I found that line funny but I do.
I found out it was easier to be him than to start over.
He didn't even want help; he just wanted to be part of my life. And I couldn't risk all of this.
Roger trying to set Joan up with a job. Is Roger really turning a new leaf?
Rotten bastard husband joined the army. So he's going to Vietnam.
I still hope that Joan decides to go for the job anyway.
OMG, teacher's been in the car that whole time. And she's realized that their getaway's off.
Next morning. Return to business as usual?
Ah the kids are dressed as a hobo and a gypsy. Hence the episode title.
Trick or treating 60s style.
And who are you supposed to be? Great ending.

3.12 The Grown Ups
Ken gets position, Pete is second best. It's become apparent that you are excellent at making the clients feel their needs are being met, but Mr. Cosgrove has the rare gift of making them feel they haven't any needs.
Peggy and her roommate. Peggy's still seeing Duck? I would not have expected that.
Duck's not married. Oh? Then why are you with him?
That was an interesting conversation.
Roger's daughter's wedding. Is she having cold feet or is she realizing that she made a mistake?
This girl seems about as mature as Betty.
I'm starting to feel like Trudy is way to good for Pete.
First it's too cold, now it's too hot.
Uh oh. Paul's on to the affair.
The TV's going to switch to the JFK assasination isn't it? Yep, there it is, and they guys are completely oblivious.
Duck is the only one to actually be paying attention. Not that surprising, actually. But even he doesn't care enough.
Now everyone is paying attention. Nice sound effects with all the phone ringing. And Don is the last to know.
Oh, I guess that Peggy is the last to know.
Television as a babysitter.
It felt for a second like everything was about to change.
Well, I guess the wedding it still on. Still on, but with half the guests missing. And all the wait staff.
Henry had to show up, of course. Wow, and that's his daughter?
Church was packed, but not with wedding guests.
Henry's daughter catches on before Don does. Yoicks.
