Pete is not invaluable. He doesnt have great ideas. He always needs assistance to close.

Don respected Joan, not Peggy.

One of the best episodes of an already consistently great series.

And like I said, Don and Joan are not romantically interested in each other. "I told you so".

Nobody said anything about romance fam but there was a lot of sexual tension

bignorm

Not interested huh? He was the only male who caped for her.
Even Lane was okay with her letting the dude "touch it in miami"

There's definitely not sexual tension between Don and Joan. The exchange they shared in the bar was one of mutual respect and easy camaraderie. Joan is one of the few women Don doesn't have sexual tension with throughout the course of the show. They're both too jaded and know too much about each other to even think of getting involved. Don doesn't respect many women, but he respects Joan. Their relationship goes beyond sexual.

That being said, I believe that's why he was a little heartbroken when he found out about her and Jaguar guy.
I think he hasn't realized it yet, but Peggy also means more to him than what he thought. Even though he was saddened by her leaving, I think the full import of it hasn't hit yet. He's going to go after her soon.

There was tension and showed some discontent on Dons part but I think most ppl already agreed it was innocent for the most part and they wouldnt cross that line.

exactly. the only reason there is not tension, is cuz Don aint feelin her all the way.
Joan has made it clear since the first season that Don could get it.

Another adult joined the conversation.

bignorm

"I wrote a check".
All my breadwinners knew at that moment, he was gonna commit dat.

WhoisDonG???

LMAO R.I.P to Lane I knew he was going to commit dat after Don told him he done.

Sally doesnt think of Megan as an adult. she thinks of her as a peer.

What? No. Joan was caught up in a heated affair with Roger for the entire first season. Besides that, Don was not only having an affair with the hippie girl Marge but he also began one with Rachel Menken, the Jewish woman who became their client. Both characters were involved in relationships with other people, and were not in the least bit concerned with each other. There was barely any dialogue between Joan and Don in the first season.

Besides that, Christina Hendricks already addressed this issue in one of her interviews for GQ. She said that there's nothing more to her relationship with Don than a friendship based on mutual respect. She also says that they've seen too much drama around the agency throughout the years to even go there with each other. And even more, creating a sexual relationship between Joan and Don would be plot overload considering all the other story lines going on. In other words, it's not happening.

The two most atrractive people on the show

one has a history of sleeping with Married men, while she was single and when she herself was married, and even prostituted herself out

the other is possibly the most notorious womanizer since Giacomo Casanova who himself has a history of infidelity

both inebriated and openly flirting with each other in a bar, and again go back and peep the dialogue

In Mad Men this is as blatant as sexual tension gets, this isn't reality tv Joan isn't gonna grab his dick and ask if he's down to fuck

Now I didn't think that they'd actually have sex cuz Don has changed his ways but he could have fucked if he wanted to and last season he probably would have

The kid who plays Glen is a terrible actor.


RIP Lane

This.

C'mon do yall know women or people at all??? Don't get it twisted - All that respect shit might be what's goin on on the outside, but when a man and a woman are "just chillin" at a bar ... you only have two scenarios: A)One of the two would fuck, or B)Both are down to fuck.

Human nature. There's a reason Joan lowkey hates on Megan and used to on Betty. (Remember that "that's the type of girl he marries" comment she made to Peggy?)

She would have given her right nipple to be Don's main. Don might find her attractive but like dude said, he's not feelin her all the way.

Well at this point we'll just have to see whether they do or don't because I didn't take that away from the bar scene at all. I couldn't disagree more.

Wow intense episode. This season is shaping up to be the best of the lot.

Don's speech in that room was intense, harkens back to the old Draper. Got the sense that The Firestone? guys were kinda playing him though

Feel bad for Lane, liked dude but could sense he was gonna off himself the way he reacted to Don telling him to resign. You can't embezzle funds, but I think he could be justified in a sense.

Roger was at his brilliant best as always, his interaction with Kenny Cosgrove was on-point. This show's writing is GOAT.

Sally and the other guy need some acting lessons ASAP.

No Competition

Lane was the definition of a pussy
