Was glad to see they resolved the issue of Betty's illness quickly, instead of letting it linger throughout the season. That would make the show a bit maudlin, which is not its style.
I'd say that she was never in the apartment. It'd be funny if Matt Weiner is planning on trying to outdue David Chase in terms of pissing people off and they never mention it again until the series finale where Don and Megan get arrested for her murder.joshEH said:How much of that dream sequence was a dream? Was she ever actually there, was she there the first time, or was it just one massive fever-hallucination?
Josh Dial said:This was one of the best episodes of the series, in my opinion.
I agree with both.joshEH said:And maybe the best episode since "The Suitcase."
I was watching it with my daughter who is studying to be a producer in college. I felt compelled to make sure she noticed them.Josh Dial said:This was one of the best episodes of the series, in my opinion. Everything was terrific, especially John Slattery's direction. Some of those dissolves were amazing.
Heh, thanks.Aaron Silverman said:Josh, you may have the foulest mouth on the HTF, but that "Charlie Brown as a rich douchebag" line was genius!
I know it would totally ruin the show, but it would still be pretty amazing if Weiner just decided Don was going to start killing fucking everyone, like Patrick Bateman or something.TravisR said:I'd say that she was never in the apartment.

I had some half expectations in that area as well, especially as he watched the younger much more physically fit (but also better looking and smoother) young guy get the (high school?) girl he had the hots for.Originally Posted by MattH. /t/317541/mad-men-season-five/60#post_3917311
I half expected Pete to head to a gym to sign up for boxing lessons so he could take on Pryce again after he learned some technique. I can't see someone like Pete taking so inglorious a defeat so cavalierly.
