Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B | 214 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT We're Not Gonna Take It

By Couch Baron | Season 6 | Episode 3 | Aired on 2013.04.14

Don stops by Sylvia's back door (literally, my God, you guys) and makes a date for the next morning...and then we cut back to the whorehouse, wherein Don watches through a knothole as the pregnant Abigail gives it up to Mack. The blonde hooker from earlier amusedly chastises him in passing...

...and then we're back to the present, where the original "Just A Gigolo" plays as Don reaches his door...and then decides to sit out against the hallway wall instead of going in. I mean, I've been covering him for over five seasons now, and he's getting harder to figure out, not easier -- which isn't a compliment -- but I suppose, given the positioning of the flashback just now, that he's tired of being a collaborator to his own lies and transgressions. Too bad, Don - talk and heavy-handed gestures are cheap, so do something about it. And I'd suggest by starting with losing the flashbacks - they never accomplish as much as you seem to think. See you next week.
