Yeah, that was pretty apparent. Virginia Slims was a Phillip Morris brand that rolled out in 1968; this season took place in 1966.
Could we simply skip forward 18 months or so to Peggy slamming the Phillip Morris account? Surely they won't be so pedantic as to have her come back to SCDP as a partner with Phillip Morris in tow (as discussed earlier, I just don't like the arc).
I'd have to re-watch the screen test to see how I feel about Don's take. My first blush was that he saw that A) She doesn't have the chops to pull this off but that B) She
does still have the beauty and grace that he saw in her in the first place.
I'm decidedly pro-Don and am always trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. My hope is that he's seen the writing on the walls with Meghan's acting career but has had a moment of clarity with their relationship so he's doing the 'good husband' thing in getting her the gig.
But I can't lie - him walking away from the set with his shoulders set back and the strut clear for the world to see was just awesome. He was right back where he was when he was just busting skulls at Sterling Cooper; in his element and in command.
