I AGREE WITH THIS!

other pete moments that i loved -

when pete extends his arm to roger and don and says "i wasn't really sick today" LMAO

when trudy kisses pete - so sweet - loved the retro detective music in the background.

one more thing - i swear - loved the bit o naughty in that kiss too ;-)

I loved Pete in this episode, too, especially when he marches out with the gun. And I adored the moment when he became all sexy and macho to Trudy by giving orders that showed he knew what he was doing, and that he was on the attack. You could tell how proud she was of him at that moment.

She was her man. Of course she had to kiss him.

By the by, did you all catch that awkward threesome moment at the hotel with Pete, Peggy and Trudy? Interesting look Peggy gives Trudy and Pete. It reminded us that however invisible and unmentioned, there will always be that baby to tie Peggy to Pete and Trudy.

thirteen - i did notice the look and i thought about all the tension next season will bring between pete, peggy, and possible trudy (if she continues to help out at the office). finally viewers will get to see pete and peggers deal with their mistakes - instead of avoiding each other!

i'm so conflicted - I want pete and peggy to be together but trudy and pete are finally gelling and just so cute together right now.

Of course she had to kiss him.
Not only kiss him but I'll bet that night was one for the memory book.

Maybe like a soldier but not an American one. They carry their rifles trigger side down, not up.

I also laughed when he said, "I wasn't really sick today." As if they were hesitating to take his outstretched hand for fear of germs.

@Ritt1: That was funny. I was confused as to why they did hesitate to shake his hand. Any insight there?

ritt1 & bipolarbear - maybe they hesitated because pete had just asked for his name in the lobby and it was classic pete being pete - childish and a little bit annoying.

To quote don drapper to pete after california, " I know you want what you want, when you want it, but sometimes it is better to wait until you are ready" - i fear i have butchered that quote :-(

@Ritt!: "Not only kiss him but I'll bet that night was one for the memory book."

No doubt about it! I'm sure the two of them will have several memorable nights as Pete rides that He-Man wave and Trudy soars on the aphrodisiac of not only his energy but the excitement of it all. She clearly loves being a vicarious part of this revolution.

Hm. I wonder if she'll end up playing secretary for them during these lean days when all they've got is Joan and can't afford to hire (or trust) anyone else?

bipolarbear -
j9mac may be right but remember S1 E1 when Don was hesitant to shake Pete's hand? "I don't want to get pregnant." Of course, that night he got Peggy in the "family way"... :-)
