Here's the thing I noticed most: you had three women who all did the opposite of what Don wanted. That wasn't the motivation, but how it worked out.
Joan-obviously Megan-goes on trip and commits elsewhere no matter the results anyway Peggy-makes her move
One of the reasons I thought Don had the conflict is that when he wrote the anti-tobacco letter, even though it was just for show, he turned the idea of the practice into one where they're not gonna whore themselves out for money.
A few episodes ago one of the last lines was an ad guy saying to Don as he won yet another award was that everyone there would applaud him, but not do business with him. Now the company got back to doing business the old way.
This episode was full of irony. Joan to Pete, "How would you feel if someone asked Trudy", after Pete already tried to whoe his own wife out.
Speaking of Pete and Trudy, one of my favorite things was Pete reading the story to his kid. Reminded me of the reference last episode Don made of the line, "I like being bad, and going home and being good".
Joan is kinda lost, like we've seen Peggy before. She says to Layne, "Here I thought you were concerned because you have feelings for me". She's out of her marriage, someone who likes that evuncular kind of thing in an older man, and has more than one 1 on 1 confiding type chat with Layne this season. Interesting.
Another irony, Don yelling at his wife, "Just keep doing what you want". Hello pot, meet kettle.
Is there a parallel between Joan and the Jaguar campaign in general. I think so.
Notice how he's been closer to Joan, the business wife of sorts since he's been having problems with Megan, who left being the business wife?
Don at the pitch, "what price would we pay". They paid a price, Joan's price. So in essence they all, the men, whored themselves out for money also.
