Episode Report Card Couch Baron: A- | 6 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Tit For Splat

Don, glass of something in hand, is admonishing (not all that nicely, it should be said) Peggy not to stay late just to milk dinner money out of them. Roger then comes up and asks Don what he's doing that night, and after some maybe unnecessary business with Peggy mistakenly answering the question, Don tries to beg off, saying Betty's cooking, but Roger prevails on him to have "one drink." Pete then comes up: "Did I miss something?" Any cue that you're wanted in this conversation, not that I'd guess that's ever stopped you before. Roger smoothly says he and Don talk all the time when Pete's not around. "In fact, we're gonna do it right now." Hee. He then wishes "Paul" a good night, and as they walk away, he confesses to a chuckling Don, "I love doing that." Roger, you just caught up with Joan in points scored this episode. Pete, choosing to take that as good-natured ribbing when in fact it was complete contempt, turns to Peggy and asks why she's there so late, and she tells him about the copy she's writing for the lipstick account. Hildy, a female worker who I believe we've seen before, then approaches and tells Pete that his wife called from the Four Seasons, and they've been seated. Before he goes, though, Pete offers to take a look at Peggy's work. "I do it for a lot of the fellas." Peggy's like, "Really?" Listen to your instincts, girl. However, when Pete assures her that he's telling the truth, she gladly accepts his offer. For someone who's supposed to be smarter than your average woman, this sure is a boneheaded move. I mean, giving people the benefit of the doubt is one thing, but trusting a guy who raided your boss's wastebasket for ideas is pushing naïve to another level.
