Summary
Return of the Rat King
Pete’s gonna have a baby soon, but you’ve got a podcast right now. Once and future rat king and tech reporter for the New York Times, Mike Isaac, joins Matt & Vince to break down Mad Men season four episode four, “The Rejected.”
The title of the episode is definitely not in reference to Pete’s sperm, because Trudy’s egg has accepted one of them with open coronae radiatae. He’s excited to have a little Pete running around, presumably a little freak like his father, but he’s even more excited to immediately leverage his progeny for a business opportunity. He’s some kind of high WASP alright.
This episode is really about two of the very different possible outcomes of sexual intercourse. Trudy is with child, but after having sex with Don, Allison is bawling in focus groups and throwing paperweights around. Don, you ol’ rascal, you’ve done it again (driven a woman insane with your carelessness).
