Season 4, episode 4 thoughts.

• John Slattery's directorial debut. Brilliant. And playful.
  • The interplay during the endless Lee Garner call ("Ohmigod, there's some kind of fire!")
  • Roger's comment on Miss Blankenship
  • Peggy peeking into Don's office after Allison's noisy rampage
• What a tease! In the previous episodes, we've been hinted several times of an underlying but very repressed bond between Pete and Peggy.
• Peggy and Pete still both have feelings regarding the baby she--and eventually both they--gave up... and they will always, I think.
  • His "I'm going to be a father" reaction and "it feels very different than what I expected" line made me think of his child with Peggy.
  • Her initial reaction to the Campbells' baby on the way was brilliant. It's as if all the air went out of the room, and she had to calmly and without a word see Pete and congratulate him.
  • His receiving her congratulations was awkward, like he was uncomfortable getting it. When she left, he didn't feel to happy with himself, did he? Like he was disarmed, and the candy he won for being a good boy suddenly tasted stale.
  • Her headdesk and subsequent holding back tears then the depression afterward.
  • THAT LOOK AT THE LOBBY!
• This is also a closure for Pete and Peggy. That they're now starting to heal. Peggy somehow got the rude awakening, the affirmation that they're off to different directions.
• Pete got back to his father-in-law, didn't he? He's so cunning and still has his sociopathic tendencies. Which is brilliant. That shrug when he called him a SOB... amazing. Tom's such a huge asshole. What can he do?
• Bert Cooper hanging out at the lobby looking cute.
• Pete's column should be useful.
  • He didn't see Harry.
  • He didn't see Lane.
  • Banging his head on the wall.
• Peggy going out at night smoking weed and hiding from a police raid like nothing!
  • Going out with people she just met. In this case, photo editor of Life.
  • Smoking her weed.
  • Knowing how to reject her lesbo advances. "I have a boyfriend." "He doesn’t own your vagina." "No, but he’s renting it."
  • Sourcing for artists/photogs for her work.
  • Hooking up with random writers while hiding at police raids.
• The old couple arguing about pears! Perfect coda.
