Pete enters Pryce's office like he's about to open a door in The Lady Or The Tiger, but brightens when the first thing Pryce mentions is Burt's departure. Pryce adds that he likes Pete, although he "can't speak for everyone here," and Pete ignores the possible veiled insult in favor of saying he likes Pryce too. Pryce, bemused, says Pete doesn't know him (but...he knows Pete?) and Pete replies, "But I will make that effort, if given the opportunity!" Let your dreams of the Creative side die, dude. Pete then launches into a stilted and uncomfortable (to watch, anyway) explanation of why he hasn't been more welcoming socially, and Pryce, rather than explain the British social order or even reply "That's okay, really" merely offers Pete a chair. Pete won't be shot with his eyes closed, though, pointing out that he's being asked to sit on the heels of his department head being removed, and Pryce offers an apology for the miscommunication of intentions before coming out with it -- Pete's the new Head of Accounts, although the specifics and announcement are pending. Pete asks if this is truly certain, and Pryce says yes, but slyly puts a finger to his lips. Heh.
