What I Want vs. What’s Expected of Me
Dr. Faye Miller. She takes her work in the science of consumer evaluation very seriously. When Don decides not to take the quiz – by claiming he has another engagement – that is saying something about him. The way she keeps eyeing him, I was certain she had a romantic interest in Don. And perhaps she does. It certainly doesn’t hurt to keep him guessing. If you give in too quickly and easily – like his secretary – it doesn’t get you very far.
Nothing makes old ladies look good.
Freddy Rumsen is back. He’s clean and sober now and apparently a sponsor. I say good for him but nothing can save him from being old-fashioned. I like the dynamic between him and Peggy. He’s got a fascination for older screen legends but Peggy doesn’t think he’s doing any favors for Ponds. According to Peggy young women have no interest in taking beauty advice from older women. But Freddy is kind of their savior right now. They needed another account desperately.
Poor Don. He’s pathetic.
But at least he’s not paying prostitutes for sex. Well, at least not this week. His down-the-hall neighbor Phoebe makes a point to tell Don she’s noticed him noticing her but when he makes a pass, he’s rebuffed. When he leaves his keys at the office and his secretary has to bring them to him, he makes another pass. At first she resists but eventually gives in. This is Don Draper we’re talking about. They have a nice post coital moment and he genuinely seems to want her to stay but she can’t; she’s meeting someone. The next morning Don doesn’t handle the situation well at all. The Christmas bonus he gives her now seems like some kind of payoff.
Don’t you want to know why I said my name Is Stanley?
Sally hates living in that house. Every time she comes around a corner she thinks she’s going to see her Dad. It’s interesting that Sally feels comfortable enough with Glen to admit that to him but that kid gives me the creeps. I don’t know why Sally likes him. I think he’s going to grow up to be a serial killer.
I thought you came in to flirt but you came in to fight.
Who is Don without a woman in his life? There are plenty of woman clamoring for their shot with him but he’s not ready for anything series. Dr. Miller thinks he’ll be married again in a year but Don takes offense to that. He’s not “type” and he doesn’t appreciate being treated like that. At the rate he’s going now, I’d be surprised if he not married sooner. He desperately needs someone to take care of him. Whoever he does marry shouldn’t expect for him to be faithful. That’ll be the day when Don starts valuing the people who pay the bills. Even though Roger has to do what Lee Garner Jr. says Don isn’t about to be ordered around by a client.
