The Benefactor: Remember, Recap, Release

Sounds like a mantra but no its time to recap the last episode now featured on demand... and now here were the developments
Don takes an extended lunch... In a Movie Theater (when does this dude work? is he dodging 10th grade geometry class? -- which makes me think perhaps another thread is needed -- does Don rely too much on his intuition or does the man work hard or does he rely on his staff to do it all?? Me thinks its the latter)
Meet the Barretts - Jimmy -- "Cabron Elf" Barett - insults Mrs. Schilling of UTZ (thus proving the man has the personality of a mosquito)
Freddy Drunk as a a skunk -- can't hold his liquor but a scolding from Ken? come on?
Speaking of Mr. Haircut he makes more cheddar than Harry? Harry tells his wife but she tells him to make more money honey.. (I likes the old Harry the one with reverance and perhaps fear of his wife not the slimey blow out tanned Harry who eats Salad for lunch). He gets the promotion though..
Bye Bye Lois - she got fired because she could not lie for her boss. Roger: "Where were you?" (Truth: Bruting at the Movies on your dime, Silver Hair) Lie: "At the printers". Should have told Lois!, not as quick on her feet like Peggy or Joan (don't worry there's a tractor in your future missy). Isn't it weird that when Joan asks Don what kind of secretary does he want - ( a Miss Olson type Joan asks?) His response "No I want someone who wants the job" Hello ! No one wants that job! the one job they want is to be is the next Mrs. Draper! -- Jane Siegel (Mrs. Sterling #2), Allison, and Megan.
Betty likes to ride the horses and Arthur Case likes Betty (He doesn't like horses though)
Don throws himself into his work (really)
Is it common practice to wash your mouth with dishwashing detergent or does Bobbi Barrett have extra bad breath?
Dinner at Lutesse -- Don and Bobbi Barett (Bleck..)
The ride back Betty crying in the car saying she wants to be part of Don's life "we make a good team" (little do we know that Don's idea of team is not doubles but rather a football team (with subs included)
Thoughts?
