Ah, that was refreshing. So in her office, Peggy, still sporting the hairdo that Kurt gave her, calls her secretary, "Lola," via the intercom, but the girl doesn't respond, so Peggy has to go outside and find her flirting with a cute but smarmy young Englishman. Peggy sharply calls Lola's name, and Lola clams up but looks defiant instead of chastened. Oh, honey. Despite your name, you are not going to get whatever you want if you displease one Peggy Olson. Cute But Smarmy Brit (his name, as we'll soon learn, is "John Hooker") tells Peggy she looks lovely, and she thanks him, but when she asks if he's there to see her, he says no -- he was just "verifying some information." So that's what the Brits are calling it these days. When he's gone, Lola gushes that he's always stopping by about the strangest things, but it's okay, because she could just listen to him read the phone book. Peggy: "Well, when he gets to 'S', I need Howard Sullivan at Lever Brothers." Hee. I'm telling you, Lola, don't cross her. She'll figure out how to get you fired while mining your life for ad-campaign fodder. Don't say you weren't warned.
