I changed the description of Roger's flashback in the plot summary. It originally read that Roger had a flashback of how he first brought Don into the firm; I changed it to read that he had a flashback of Don hounding him for a job. I thought the flashback deliberately left it ambiguous as to whether or not Roger ever did actually hire Don. We see Roger, very drunk, still refusing to give Don a job at lunch; then we see Don show up the next morning and tell Roger that he hired him the previous day, something of which Roger has no memory. Certainly it wouldn't be above Dick Whitman to lie like that. Even if someone else doesn't see the flashback as being quite as open-ended as I do, I would still argue that my own description limits itself to what actually appears onscreen (Draper persisting in trying to get a job from Sterling), whereas the original summary is reporting a moment that does not actually show up in the episode (Sterling hiring Draper).

I guess your edit removed an apophasis from the plot summary, although it may be ok to include it if later episodes confirmed that that is, in fact, what took place. Cla68 (talk) 23:31, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
