[quote=Anonymous][quote]As an obsessive watcher, let me clear everything up:

Joan made a huge sacrifice to land Jaguar.  She was willing to prostitute herself because it made her a partner at the firm and would finally enable her to provide a secure life for her son.  When they were in talks to go public, she was looking at becoming a millionaire (IIRC) overnight.  Her personal humiliation would finally be worth it because her son would be set for life.  Then Don fired Jaguar out of some mistaken attempt at chivalry.  He made her feel like a whore.  The move said that he was too good and pure to put up with this man professionally where Joan had already submitted to him sexually and at the same time it destroyed any hope of her being able to give her son the life she wants to.[/quote]

You know what?  ALL of the partners should have been in on the plan to get the firm ready to IPO, not just Bert, Joan & Pete.  If Don had known he would have put up with Peaches and Herb for a few more days at least.  Once public, they could have gotten a better car.  And Joan did whore herself.  She should just own it instead of punishing Don for trying to save her.

[quote]Peggy is mad at Don because he and Ted spent the entire time they worked together playing mind games with her and fighting over her like a toy.  She was happy in the old firm.  She was doing brilliant creative work with a mentor who challenged and encouraged her and who was also in love with her.  It was Don's decision to bring the firms together (and everyone else might have bought that it was mutual, but Peggy knows Don and Ted well enough to know that Ted was played) that destroyed her idyllic relationship with Ted.  And finally, it was don who allowed Ted to run away to California after sleeping with Peggy.  In her mind, Don destroyed her personally and professionally and he "broke" Ted.[/quote]

No, Peggy left SCDP because Don stopped being a mentor and became a bully.  Making her miss her birthday party?  Throwing money in her face?  She was pissed because he managed to pull her back in.  Then she was livid because Don pointed out to Ted that everyone noticed that he was shamelessly flirting with Peggy.  She's also got some displaced anger going regarding Ted towards Don.

[quote]Trudy had every reason to think Pete had plenty of money, but since she personally has plenty of money, it wasn't his money that mattered to her.  She is new money and saw his blue blood background as very desirable and in her mind his WASP connections and budding career would give her a high class, glamorous life.  While later Pete found he would never have family money, Trudy doesn't even bat an eyelash because she is the only child of her very wealthy parents.  She is set.[/quote][/quote]
