Agreed. This season is getting better and better.
As for the merge, I think it was Don actually thinking about Joan's 'we' comment and doing something for the company.
They lost Jaguar, they found out they lost Vicks Chemicals while on the way to Detroit, then he realized he's not getting Chevy...unless they do something.
The company was close to start spiraling out of control and potentially folding if nothing was done to intervene.
But when I heard Don's voice from behind the door when Peggy came into her boss's office, I about screamed 'Oh sh**!'
Peggy's working for Don again. Just seeing her face wash over when she came to that realization, I felt so bad for her.
I looked up the car model Roger mentioned, XP-887, and it's the Chevy Vega. I looked it up on Wikipedia and that car almost drove GM bankrupt despite it being praised as car of the year. So this will be interesting to see how far this goes. (It's May 1968 this episode and the first car won't roll out until probably fall of 1969 and stops production in 1977)
I don't know much about cars, but if this was supposed to be Chevy's answer to the Mustang...yeesh. I just don't think it's that pretty of a car. :unsure
Pete's a slimeball who will slam everyone but won't take responsibility for himself. I doubt he'll be able to save Vicks since his FiL gave him the opportunity to 'Do the right thing' (which I'm assuming is confess to Trudy, ask for forgiveness and try to patch their marriage) but instead he chose to defile her father in front of her. I was sort of surprised Trudy didn't ask 'And how did you know he was at a prostitute house?'
I can't wait for next week!*
*and the less we see of Betty and Henry, the better. I just don't care about those two.

Agreed. I think at that moment she actually became a partner of the company. :thumbsup
