I am – Hercules!!


Last week Sally’s teacher drunk-dialed Don, Duck Phillips tried to lure Pete and Peggy to Grey, Peggy asked for more money, Pete quizzed elevator operator Hollis on Negro buying habits and Betty gave birth to Eugene Scott Draper.

During the middle of first scene with Don, Betty and the teacher, there was a bizarre insert, like something out of “The Shining,” of young Sally smearing what looked blood across one cheek. Did it come from another dustup Sally was undertaking? Was it menstrual? When AMC posted the same scene online prior to the episode’s broadcast, it did NOT contain Sally’s smearing. The very definition of most passing strange.

One wonders also why Dennis, the Sing Sing correctional officer who shared a drink with Don in the waiting room, avoided Don’s gaze in the hospital corridor afterwards.

Also? Klansman Bryan De La Beckwith murdered civil rights activist (the one depicted keeping company with Betty’s mom and blood-mopping dad) on June 12, 1963. Is Sally in summer school?

This show’s most fearsome weapon remains its unpredictability. Perhaps the Emmys will run long tonight so we’ll still be able to tune over to CBS after tonight’s episode concludes to see Matthew Weiner pick up the show’s second outstanding-drama Emmy.
