It was after Trudy left him. You can't but help feel sympathy for a man who looses such a fine piece of ass.

Are you implying Trudy, Betty and Meg steal the super computer to set up pornhub?

Think of the scene when Peggy left Sterming Cooper Draper Pryce.
They were both in tears and Don expressed his love for her for the first time.
You guys are correct, its not romantic. Don is very much a father figure to her. She used to look to him for approval and guidance but "grew" out of it. But she still realizes he cares for her and she cares for him.
Like a daughter rebelling against her dad, shes tried so hard to show she doesnt need him or can do it alone, shes finally realizing that while she can do that, its better togetehr.

I think you are totally right about Cutler. He gets Harry the new computer just so that when Harry becomes partner he can count on the deciding vote to oust Don because of the gratitude Harry should feel. He has no idea that Harry likes Don and that it was Harry who spilled the beans about the Phillip-Morris meetings. Waterloo may stand for both Lou AND Cutler because it is setting up for a meeting where Cutler says that they either keep Don or him, and when the chips are down both Sterling votes for Cutler (because it makes more business sense) and Harry ends the tie by voting for Don.

Harry's the type of person I could see being bought off. He's always struggled for recognition within the company, feels he has to constantly fight for his part of the business, and is aggravated at feeling marginalized. He's also extremely self-interested and a bit of a pushover. Cutler getting him both the computer and the partnership he's been trying to get for years could push Harry to think his best future prospects lay with throwing in with Cutler.
However, this looks like it could cost Cutler Joan's vote. Either Joan will continue to be pissed at him for giving Harry partnership, or she's going to start piecing together that Cutler is just buttering up people solely to get rid of Don. Joan's not the type to go for that type of manipulation, particularly when it means her promotion wasn't for merit but to use her.

To be able to say that they have one. It's a showpiece. I think that's part of what makes Harry's previous scene where he lies about the computer to the client important. Those computers couldn't do very much, and what they could do could be just as easily faked by hand.
They were still using punch cards to program that shit. So they're going to have to create an IT department now in order to use it (well, Harry will be the IT department). They'll never get the cost of the machine back out of it in value, much less the extra salary.
But if you want to be a big new york ad firm you have to tell your clients that this ad campaign is verified. BY SCIENCE.
And I think Harry is plenty petty enough to sell Don out. "Say what you want, he's loyal!" made me snicker. That fucker is the opposite of loyal, he is completely mercenary. But he also doesn't like to work all that hard, and climbing that corporate ladder is hard, risky work. Harry is the anti-Don even more than The Geek is.

You're talking about the guy who created his own job in the firm, sensed the wind turning toward TV before anyone else at the company, never got half the respect he deserved and yet still works there!
This is what I told my wife. Finally got to watch the episode last night.
This was probably the best episode over the last 3 seasons (including this season).

A relationship between Don and Peggy would last what, all of two episodes before she went into full shrew mode over one of any number of things he typically does in his relationships. His storyline would end up with either him really jumping off the balcony of his apartment or tossing her from it.
