Peggy should have NEVER shown up at that club - she is overeaching - unfortunately Don did not advise her on thios one.

Having gone to the club trying to be one of the boys, Peggy should realize that she can't be one of the boys.

Don't find it all that believable that a woman would doll herself up in 1962 and arrive uninvited to a strip club with her male co-workers.
Fairly dreary episode. The writers never resolve any of the old plot lines; they keep writring as though the show will last for 10 years. At this rate it will be finished in a couple of months.

Hahaha. I doubt that a woman --like Peg--of that time would have gone to a strip club, but so what. There are women working there, stripping and waitressing. She doesn't need Big Boss Man Don to advise her. She has a brain. She is beginning to make choices about things that she has never had to consider, that the women she knows have never had to consider. She really has no role model for this sort of thing. (And a man should not be her role model there for she doesn't need the advice of cheater-liar Don.)

From my life experiences growing up in this "modern era": I would have gone to the strip club, I wouldn't have dressed soo provacatively, and I most certainly wouldn't have sat on the Playtex boss's lap and acted like a little girl for the taking. She did not go wrong in going to the club; she chose the wrong seat in the club.

They are available but they taste awful so better not to smoke at all. They don't have the harmful additives that tobacco does. Also, no nicotine, so not addictive but no pleasurable effect.

I agree. After the fine achievements of prior episodes, the old juxtaposition of madonna/whore is tiresome. I realize the writers must use Sterling-Cooper machinations as a foil to the story line, but Don's becoming TOO much of a SKANK. While Betty looks like a goddess pouring milk in her yellow bikini(madonna) , Don continues to require the vile attentions of skanks. He's too full of self loathing to stay focused much longer and I await his total self-annihilation (Which WILL be compelling). He may think that he's 'put the past behind him' but his near-catatonia while Sally watches him shave is going to morph into serious mental apocalypse soon. But Duck emerged as the douchbag in waiting by letting that beautiful Irish setter out in the city as we now see that he's about to lapse into a serious "bender", using Duck's own phrase. As a devoted viewer - I am getting impatient for Don's denouement and I agree with Randall, as good as MM is, it's no Soprano's which could have lasted another decade.

I totally agree with Elizabeth on Duck being a total douchbag (although I would not have used such nice language). Duck just abondons his beautiful dog to the streets of NYC. You can't tell me they didn't have at least some type of shelters for animals back then! I am a total dog lover and to see him act like he actually cares for the dog in front of Pete then put him out of the street had me furious! Yes...I know its only a tv show but I can't even watch the Animal cop shows without being furious and upset at all the sick people who neglect and abuse their pets. I still love this show but I didn't like the Duck Phillips character to begin with and now I have even more reason not to like his character now. And is anyone besides me curious to know what happened to the Draper's dog? I haven't seen their dog at all in the house this season?

We're seeing too much of this story through modern eyes. In NYC in the 60's it might still be a little unadvised for a young lady to go to a strip club, but Peggy wants to push the envelope to prove a point. She misses her mark when she sits on the exec's lap. By the looks on the guys' faces they gave her points for being a good sport, though. Except for Pete Campbell He's a smarmy little weasel who needs to control whoever is just beneath him on the food chain. I can't wait to see what his commuppance will be.

(Re: Chauncy. At least we didn't hear tires squeal after he was let out! Now THAT would be over the line. And no, there were not animal rescue organizations as now. Just the ASPCA and the pound.)

Let's hope Pete might stop in someplace for a drink after work and when stepping out the front door, lo and behold, there would be Chauncey! He'd slip his belt into the metal ring on Chauncey's collar (makeshift leash) and take him home to Trudy (to ease the "pain of an empty womb"--to paraphrase another poster) only this would prompt her to enter into another screaming rant: "How could you think a dog could take the place of our own child??? PETER YOU ARE SOOOOO IMMATURE!" Poor Pete, he just can't win...

I posted ONE comment about Pete finding Chauncey (or Chauncey finding Pete) and I think it posted about 9 times....sorry...only hit the submit button once, I think my laptop is freaking out or something..???

Just watched this episode and I disagree- this was a great episode! Although, after Don's outings he's going to need a serious chiropractic adjustment!

By the way, as a chiropractic professional, I have to point out that no smoking is "healthy" and that herbal cigarettes merely contain less tar and zero nicotine. Smoking herbal cigarettes only reduces the harmful effects of smoking and protects actors against addiction.
