Everyone in the madman world are finally having to pay the
piper and I suspect it is going to get a whole lot worse if everyone gets what
is coming to them, Unfortunately I have a feeling that hell may not reign down
on the worst offenders as much as the lesser ones will probably have to pay. I
am pretty sure it is Don’s fault that Harry doesn’t know that Don agreed to
drop Sunkist, although Don would never admit that, when he calls Don at home
and tells him that Sunkist is willing to spend some real advertising dollars with
their firm. Pete is so transparent in his volunteering to take to Chevy account
from Ken, but that is right in character. So then when Ted finds out that
Sunkist is going to pay way more than the Ocean Spray account, the account that
Don told Ted in the previous episode he would defer to him on, obviously an
untruth, and in the words of Gomer Pyle “surprise, surprise, surprise” not! But
of course in the end money talks and you know what walks! As for the Bob
developments I find them highly inventive and amusing. Pete wanted to get rid
of Bob because he came on to him and now everyone wants to keep him, a
Machiavellian twist to say the least. Pete is already experienced in people not
being what they appear to be through Don so he isn’t as floored by Bob’s unreal
identity as a “normal” person might react but it is a conundrum to say the
least. Ted and Peggy are way too happy for them to be able to continue on this
way. Ted is obviously feeling guilty or he wouldn’t tolerate Don’s accusation
that his feelings towards Peggy aren’t just because she is “that good”. Don
seems to be drifting into the darkness he so richly deserves, his daughter
doesn’t want to see him after she saw him literally with his pants down, and if
he had talked to her more than to just try to secure form her not to rat on him
that scenario might have played out differently but because Don seems to only
be looking out for Don he didn’t have the foresight to see that maybe he should
have reached out and told Sally he regretted what he did that she saw him do
with Silvia. I guess that would mean he would have had to
admit he did something wrong and he isn’t very forthcoming in making those
kinds of confessions. The figures I see as good in this show are Joan, Stan,
Ginsberg and Ken, and maybe Peggy though she is a less innocent than she used
to be. I don’t recall any of these figures trying to screw their fellow workers
over in any major way, will the good win out in the end here? Peggy is kind of
in the middle and Ted and Roger are each a little closer to Don than they are
to anyone else. Roger would be as sneaky as Don if he were that smart but he is
not and in this case I would have to say smarter is not necessarily a virtue.
Wouldn’t that make a nice ending episode for the best people to come out ahead?
I didn’t say they were all that good but there are several that are a lot
better than the rest. I see something very dark happening in the final episode
for this season, perhaps a much deserved fall from grace for several of the
cast?
