Oh, remember how Trudy allowed Pete to get an NYC pied-à-terre? Well, the place is at least appointed more nicely than I would have guessed, although for everyone's sake we'll refrain from bringing in a black light. Entering the place with its owner is Wife Number One from earlier, who stands nervously in the center of the room and turns down Pete's offers of food, drink, and music. He then compliments her lipstick - see what I mean about the cultured subtlety - which is all it takes to result in a makeout session and a trip to the bedroom. Damn, lady. At least make it look good by getting the theater tickets up front.
Time for a little poach-the-client meeting in Don's office, as with Ken and Benson in attendance, a youngish dude (played by Kip Pardue, and between Yale being his alma mater and his naturally oily demeanor, I can't believe it's taken this long for him to be cast on this show) is talking about all the things DDP has done for them in what sounds like an effort to see how high SCDP will jump to try to get him. The power structure becomes clear when we recognize the other guy as Raymond Geiger, the Heinz beans client - you know, the one Peggy yelled at last year - and he's apparently brought the younger guy, who represents Heinz Ketchup, in after he wondered how Beans was making such good numbers. Ken asks what they can do for Ketchup, then - whereupon "Timmy" tells him to let him know. After some subtle WTF side-eyes between Ken and Don, everyone gets to their feet, and Timmy makes it clear that this wasn't an official visit.
