Growing Concerns

Pryce is in Pete's office, apparently waiting for Roger as Pete barks at Clara, who tells him that Caroline informed her that the meeting is in Roger's office. Oh good -- glad the petty turf wars between Pete and Roger aren't over. And in case it's not clear on the page, I'm not kidding. Exasperated, Pete gets up...

...and leads Pryce into Roger's office, wherein he informs Roger that he has good news -- Mohawk is happening. What's more, he thinks Roger should handle the account and Roger crows that they must have asked for him. Pete levelly tells him that they "enjoy your company," which, as I indicated in the recaplet, I take to mean they want someone who can keep up with them. With Pryce around, however, you know it won't all be good news and indeed, he pipes up that Mohawk has recently taken on debt to replace their planes to the tune of $54 million. And what's more, there's a mechanic's strike looming, which I assume has the potential to ground the industry. Pete, however, pipes up that Mohawk likely will be spared any consequence of the latter and plows on that he and Don have been trying to explain to Pryce that Mohawk is a daily business, and as such, they'll need a dedicated copywriter on the account. Ah, I see -- Pete is throwing Roger a bone because he needs him to help push this idea past Pryce. This kid has learned how to play. They grow up so fast! Pryce whinges about the extra expense, but with Roger backing him up, Pete tells him they should just hire someone with retail experience who can crank out local fare ads three times a week and be done with it. Pete then congratulates Roger, who looks extremely pleased with himself. It'd be hard to believe, if this weren't someone who tells anyone who'll listen that he had the vision to discover Don Draper, a man he thought wasn't fit to sell him fur.
