I loved Peggy’s reaction to the news. She’s not jealous, I don’t think. I see it as her being disappointed in Don. By marrying his secretary, he’s become another Roger Sterling. He was somebody to be admired, and now he’s just an out-of-touch older man. Peggy idolizes him, and any time Don starts to seem like the Old Guard, it’s hard for her. But I would love to see more Peggy/Joan scenes like the one we got this week. They’re fantastic together.
And speaking of Joan – we now know that she’s keeping the baby and fudging the timeline for her husband. I’m sure that I’m not alone in hating stupid Greg, and it always upsets me a little when she tries so hard to make it work. I understand why she’s trying, I guess, but that doesn’t mean that I have to like it. Still, I’m really hoping that baby is a dead ringer for Roger.
