1. Fuck you Time Warner no more East Coast feed making me wait
2. Manololololololol
3. Pete was up and down in likeness this episode.
4. Peggy + Stan phone convo was hilarious. They way Stan said "No you won't" to Peggy's "worth your while" killed me.
5. Not convinced Bob Benson is gay, he might have just been playing a game with Pete there to solve his problem.
6. Okay, I totally fell for that surprise ending. I thought Sally was going to end up having sex with the boy. It didn't cross my mind he'd run into Don. TBH, the timing of it seems off. I assumed Sally returned as soon as she heard about the note, basically, while we already saw Don in the office. But Don got there first? Not so sure.
But wow @ that revelation. Sally walking in on Don and Sylvia must fuck her up pretty bad. And that dinner scene...the tension as short as it was..oh man. Don's excuse i something you'd tell an 8 year old. hilariously bad. Sally ain't stupid. I wonder where the show goes with this for the next two episodes.
Great episode.
PS: lol @ Roger juggling.

lol'd @ this. Fucking hell this episode was awesome. That nice (or scheming) guy ends up being gay (why are people saying bisexual? I don't remember him showing interest in a woman like that unless I've forgotten something) and Sally finds out about Don. Goddamn.
On another note I'm kind of at odds with Don's views about the war. He seems to show constant conflicting opinions on this and the new left in general. He's been a progressive in the past on race and women in the work place, but a lot of times this season he's acted conservative. He seemed apathetic about police beating up protestors "they knew what they were getting into", said "it's not our problem" about the draft, and so on.
But then earlier on there's the meeting at the bar of the kid going to war. Don keeps his lighter by accident and he becomes obsessed about it. Then he flat out says in this episode the war is wrong, and the issue of Sylvia's kid keeps bugging him enough to get him to do something about it. Did he really just help out in order to get back into the good graces
pants
I'm not sure where he stands and why. Has Weiner talked about this in any interviews this season? About the war themes being brought up a lot and why it continues to plague Don so much.

After finishing this latest episode, Roger's line at the beginning, "Not all surprises are bad." is pretty funny in relation to the surprise Sally got this episode.

From 5/27:
I knew it!
1.) Went to a brothel to celebrate with Pete and didn't partake in the services of the establishment (this was when they ran into Pete's father-in-law)
2.) Knows a male nurse in the 1960's
3.) When Joan told him about Pete's mom, he had this office-gossipy tone in his voice.
I knew it!
Even way before Ginsberg asked him.

Well I don't know much about that theory, but maybe Pete uses his gun to try and kill Bob Benson, but shoots Megan instead?
That's not going to happen.

I don't think Bob necessarily has feelings for Pete, but I do think he's gay. When Pete tossed out his first slur before Bob had touched his leg, Bob's face was visibly pained.

nah man, Peggy is gonna spear her when she catches her making out with Stan.
hard to say. I think he is but mostly because I think Ginsberg can pick up on these things.

Bob Benson is probably gay, but I don't think he has any attraction for Pete. I still think he's just scheming.

Who was she on a date with?
She thought the Avon guy was there for a date with her, not a business meeting.

I don't think Sally is going to tell anyone. She didn't say anything when she saw Megan's mother fellating Roger. I think this "favor" done by Sally's friend gave her a peak into who Don truly is.

I am loving the new wrinkle in Salamander and Don's relationship. Every kid eventually discovers their parents are not as awesome as they thought growing up

Bunsen was totally hitting Joan. You don't go to the beach with Joan and just play in the sand. No, no, no. If you're on the island with Joan, you play in the fire.
..unless you're gay

Bob seemed bi to me, his whole speech revolved around the idea that love could be universal. He loosens Peter up with a drink, sits very close, touch's his leg, looks deep into his eyes, how else could you read that? Finally he flashes a very clear fake smile that does not meet his eyes once Peter turns the conversation back towards the nurse with a quick "tell him it's disgusting".
I highly doubt he would attempt to expose Peter to such a "perversion" in some vain attempt to climb the ladder, he doesn't seem that dumb. But ultimately i'm curious to see if i'm wrong about that.
We've had lesbians and homosexuals on this show, I suppose it wouldn't be that wild to have a bi-sexual in there too.

While I'm sure Pete is mostly disgusted by Bob's advance toward him, there's probably some part of him deep inside that was slightly flattered, considering it's the most affection anyone has shown him in a very long time.
Which is probably why he didn't go completely apeshit on him. Not yet, at least.

Don is fucked if Sylvia's Catholic guilt takes over and she goes on a confession spree.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Bob is definitely gay. He was absolutely crushed that Pete didn't care for his advances. Not to mention he was positive about the male nurse's sexuality. I knew the nurse was gay from his first scene with Pete, he gave his ass a pretty long stare.
The mystery behind Bob Benson, finally revealed. The gay secret agent lost long brother of Don Draper.

Fantastic episode and the last 15 minutes were dynamite. I wonder how this season will end, especially with a return of Chekov's rifle.
What if that episode is flashback and several previous were flashforwards and Megan got depressed after Sally told her that she cheated and Don killed her and Don concocted the reality in his head and Sylvia took part in his power play because she was afraid he would kill her cause she finds out what Don did because Bob Bunson saw this when he was nearby to visit Don with two coffees?

Brilliant episode. Everything from Sally walking in on them onwards was sheer class. Such an excruciating dinner.
I sometimes like to read the posts you guys were putting up as it was aired as I'm watching it and this:
absolutely slayed me. Nicely done, Gooster.

I wouldn't consider Don progressive in any respect, really.
He might have sympathy for certain groups and people, but he rarely seems compelled to act on them.
