    CB2 already has the Draper sofa.

    BTW, what firm is Duck at? McCann? Or Ogilvy? I was thinking McCann and then when they announced the sale, part of me thought, "That duck's at it again!"

    This episode was brilliant. BRILLIANT. Packed with so much stuff. I had to watch it twice.

    Also, I agree with everything you wrote here ... well done. #madmen

    What did anyone else make of Don's little speech about everything -- includng selling -- being different after Dallas? I wonder how will it change his approach to advertising? Any advertising scholars out there know whether there really was a change in approach, or -- just like 9/11 didn't really mean The End of Irony -- was there no lasting effect? #madmen

    Oddly, I got this real strong family vibe from the closing scenes in the hotel room, and it makes me think the whole damn season has come down to Don trying to find a family where he belongs. (I'm sure others have gotten there before me, but hey . . .)
    He has failed so often -- sometimes its been his fault, other times not -- that with his home life going down the tubes, he was willing to make amends and eat substantial crow to gather his new loved ones around him.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: my exact thought too. When Don came out of the bedroom after talking to Betty on the phone and saw his coworkers all crammed into the hotel room working away, you could see his relief at not being alone and a little bit of hope for the future. Great episode. Also, I don't remember Mad Men ever making me cry before, but the divorce scene with the kids just killed me. #madmen

    @naugahydeinplainsight: In the cheek, actually, with a horseshoe branded on his face. Also, that was for me the most boring part of this episode, and not because it was uninteresting. There was just so much happening in this episode and I felt the pere Whitman bit added zero. We already know Don's a trifle fucked up by his childhood. #madmen

    Loved, loved it. Not as shocking as last season but nicely woven and poignantly put together.

    Best line for me: "Peter can I see you for a minute?" That chick is badass. Wouldn't have guessed that doing the Charleston at Roger's wedding would be foreshadowing of Trudy and Pete's teamwork. And damn it, if Pete hasn't really been the most progressive this season. Don nailed it on the head when he complimented Pete's foresight.

    Yay Joan! Genius reentering of our favorite office gal. Was dismayed a little when they didn't elevate her role a bit for the forthcoming firm. Or maybe she just revels in running the show from behind the scenes so to speak.

    Don and Betty...sigh. Knew it was coming, but damn, didn't expect Betty to be swayed so easily. She really is just a large child, and doesn't Carla have her own family to care for?! Blech!

    Nice end scene with the new firm participants cramped in a small room with excited anticipation on their faces. An ending to one chapter and a start of another for all. Maybe we'll see Cooper be a Mad Man for once. Can't wait. #madmen

    @Spirit Fingers: Betty has been this character that I've wanted so desperately to feel for... now I just couldn't fathom it - leaving the kids behind (except the baby) was absolutely terrible. Poor kids (and Carla).

    Trudy is turning into quite the powerful one, but it makes sense, when you look at how Pete's shrewdness can often become unhinged and too all-over-the-place to do any good for him.

    Mad Men All-Stars. My thoughts exactly.

    Also, who else was excited that they poached off Harry Crane?? He is my favorite most under-appreciated character on the show...although, I love it how they always make a point to show how he "basically created" the Media Department, on his own. And Paul Kinsey's face when he see's he's been left behind by his would-be mentor Don in favor of Peter and *gasp* Peggy...priceless. What a badass episode, to be sure.

    And who else is hoping that they save poor Salvatore from propositioning strangers in Central Park in Season 5? They still need artists, you know...maybe when the SCDP earns more rupees.

This might be naive of me, of course, but I have to assume that either A) they'll poach more of the old Sterling Cooper gang once business grows, or B) we'll see them in scenes of competition or similar scenarios between SCD&P and McCann, like how Duck's been back a bunch of times. #madmen
