There was even more emphasis on the violence of the times this week: Ken Cosgrove getting Dick Cheney’d during the hunting trip with the GM guys, Don watching the Richard Nixon “Law and Order” infomercial. “I surrender,” he said, even though Bob hadn’t done anything to indicate that he expected surrender.
After figuring out that Bob was (1) a serious professional threat to Pete and (2) in love with him, Pete was looking for a way to get Bob expelled from Sterling, Cooper, and partners, and set up somewhere else.
Almost everything about Bob, from his alliterative pseudonym to the way he got his current job (by waltzing into the building and pretending he had actually been hired) to the way his true identity is revealed during a tense confrontation with Pete Campbell hearkens back to the saga of Dick Whitman. Attempting to reach out to her daughter, Betty has Sally light a cigarette for her and then offers the teenage girl one of her own (“I’d rather have you do it in front of me than behind my back”). Don’s been living under the assumption that he can have pretty much any woman he wants if he puts his mind to it; even in his current debased state, and even after losing Sylvia and briefly getting her back and then losing her again, and his daughter’s respect along with her, he probably still believes it. © Copyright 2020 Meredith Corporation. “He’s just in love with you.” The two things aren’t mutually exclusive — love makes good men do foolish things sometimes — but good luck explaining that to a boozing sourpuss who’s wrecked almost every good thing in his life and is doing his best to ruin the only bright spot left, his marriage to Megan.Don’s drinking has been out of control for some time — since season one, I’d argue, though he was younger and more glamorous then, so it didn’t seem quite as pathetic.
“You hate that he’s a good man,” Peggy said. Given that the other senior partners seem to like Bob quite a bit — Bob saw to that himself, by being as ingratiating as possible, and playing Galahad in crises — if Pete made a case for firing Bob, he’d probably just get told to put a sock in it, a repeat of what happened when he discovered Don’s backstory.
* You expect a bit of on-the-nose dialogue in every * A belated shout-out to regular commenter Pennywise, whose comment below listed some clever thematic details having to do with twins. “I hate guns. It’s less an act of mercy than a shrewd one that benefits Pete as much as it does Bob:Pete, of course, has been here before with Don Draper and been forced—out of expediency, respect, or begrudging admiration—to keep Don’s secret to hold on to his own career trajectory. bob-benson-18.jpg. Philip Guston’s 1970s Paintings Might Help You Cope Today Also, Don doesn’t speak Spanish.But even though any of those options is more plausible than this one, I prefer to think that Bob is actually an example of a classic TV type: the expy, or exported character. * I liked Glenn a lot in this episode.
