Ask the Sunday-night programming gods and thou shalt receive. Last night, the Pan Am crew touched down in Monaco and we bore witness to not one but two semi-sexy hook-ups. On a school night! Hey, we recappers can dream, can't we? Anyway, hook-ups: Dean meets a young fur-coated lady named Ginny, who soon makes a habit of waiting outside his hotel in hot sports cars so she can seduce him.
Not a bad way to get a pilot's attention! When he finds out, Dean's miffed about it for a minute. But when Ginny shows up for round two, he goes along for the ride, and the two have a romantic make-out session near a lake. Apparently he forgot Ted's warning that "a wife is the block he grew up on; a mistress is where he's living now. Meanwhile, Colette seems sort of mopey about Dean's fling, but nowhere near as bad as that time she got drunk and sang the German national anthem.
Then there's boring, uptight, stressed-out Kate, whose next spy mission is to get the fingerprints of a Soviet agent. Along the way she picks up a franc dress and a hunk from Yugoslavia. And get this: she doesn't have one breathy hyperventilation attack in the whole minute episode! We're proud of you, Kate. Here's to hoping your new squeeze isn't a spy who's totally going to screw you over. Donald Draper. Season five is months away, yet he's still laps ahead of these clowns. Let's take a look at what happened to our ladies, and wonder: What Would Don Do?
Kate runs into one of her secret-agent bosses and bitterly mentions that she has yet to be paid for her spy duties. Don would casually light a cigarette, take a puff, lean in, blow out the smoke, and say, "You know, your competitors want to hire me, too. On Pan Am: Kate's secret-agent boss says he doesn't really feel like talking about her pay or lack thereof and orders her to get him some fingerprints.
She backs down and agrees. Wait, why did she want this inconvenient, life-endangering job again? Ted and Laura try to buy her engagement ring back from some musician in Harlem, but Ted ruins the deal by suggesting the musician is scamming her. No one says no to Donald Draper. She proceeds to beat Ted with it and won't forgive him until he pawns his Rolex to get the ring back.
