Episode Report Card Couch Baron: A- | 3 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT It's A Man's World

In the packed break room, Ken shows Harry and the random guy a postcard from Pete, which offers them greetings "from the wettest place on Earth." My dirty mind is hardly blameless here, but still: "thanks" for the mental image, Pete. Joan enters with Peggy in tow, saying something about going to Lord and Taylor's, and the random guy makes an inappropriate comment before Ken offers to buy them lunch. Joan equivocates a bit and asks Peggy what she thinks, and Peggy offers that they do smell nice, causing Ken to bite his lip in frustration. Heh. After a little talk about Pete's honeymoon sex that causes Peggy to flinch just a little, Ken sticks the postcard on a nearby corkboard and the five of them head out...
...and we cut to a coffee shop, in which Ken is asking about Peggy's relationship status. Joan: "She's browsing. And like most of us, she's disappointed with the selection of merchandise." Heh. The boys are all varying degrees of gross to Peggy, prompting Joan to say they should head out of there, but Peggy can't get out of the booth without Ken putting his hand on her waist and saying she should take the rest of the afternoon off. "We could go to the zoo, see what the animals are up to." Given that she works with you all, Ken, wouldn't that be kind of a busman's holiday? Peggy manages to give him the slip, though, and after Joan tosses another disparaging comment Ken's way, they're out of there...
...but the escape isn't complete, as Paul catches Peggy returning to her desk and asks if she enjoyed herself "with the Hitler youth." Heh. Peggy tries to explain that blowing him off wasn't intentional, but Paul hands her a folder and tells her to make sure Don looks at the contents. He starts to leave, but turns back to tell her that she can look too. Take a lesson, Peg: you treat men like dirt, they won't be able to get enough of you. Believe me, I know, in both directions.
