I thought the kid playing Glen was Weiner's son. (I could be mis-remembering that factoid).

Yup. It's Weiner's son Marten.Patrick Sun said:I thought the kid playing Glen was Weiner's son. (I could be mis-remembering that factoid).
"Jaguar - it might break the bank, but it won't kill you."TravisR said:I'd say that Jaguar must be really happy with all the free publicity they're getting but it seems like it's all negative. Every episode someone says that the car is unreliable, is impractical, is for assholes in a midlife crisis and now it doesn't even work when you want to kill yourself.
Objectively I agree with you, that Don gave Lane the best offer he had the right to expect. However, this is Don Draper. The man's entire life is a lie. I found it a little hard to stomach when he told Lane, "I'm sorry I can't trust you." I understand why Don was upset, but it seems disingenuous to be angry that someone has forged your name, when its a name you yourself have stolen, and forged on every document you've ever signed.Quentin said:Honestly, I don't think Don will be all that broken up. Bad day? Yes. But, a shadow of guilty gloom hanging over him? I don't think so - he gave Lane the out. He gave him the absolute best deal anyone in Lane's position had a right to get. I don't see Don being dragged down by Lane's decision.

It wasn't disingenuous at all and really Don's background before he got to the firm has nothing to do with whether his partners can trust him or not.Tim Gerdes said:Objectively I agree with you, that Don gave Lane the best offer he had the right to expect.

I disagree. It is an ongoing crime.Patrick_S said:It wasn't disingenuous at all and really Don's background before he got to the firm has nothing to do with whether his partners can trust him or not.
I don't know how businesses work in a situation like this but assuming Don keeps quiet about Lane's misdeeds (which seems likely), I was thinking that Lane's death might result in SCDP taking care of his family to some degree out of sympathy.joshEH said:With Lane's salary now off the books...

A grim episode and an unforgettable one. I wasn't quite sure I bought Sally running home to Mom instead of Megan, but I don't have kids so what do I know?
