Pete was annoyed as hell about other things at that point in life. Marriage, Bob, Mother....etc and they just continued in him using someone to feel better. Peter has the unique quality of feeling honest in all his lies. Just like Tony Soprano in Sopranos.

      @@shrapnel77 Crane only cares about himself and money. It is weird cos in the beginning I though Pete would be the villain because of the way he acted and that compromising info he found on Don but for some reason the creators went down another path and didn't really use that information at all. Don ended up revealing it anyway. Crane sort of took the role of bad guy but more of a character you can't stand rather than being evil. It was a close race up until the end which character would win the trophy for most despised character, Peggy came really close but I think Harry Crane ultimately wins it.

When Robert Kennedy was shot, the next morning my grandfather walked into the kitchen and said to my mother, "Patsy, Kennedy's been shot". She gasped in horror. I was sitting there eating cereal but no one talked to me about the things going on. We watched lots of TV and there was lots of violence. Sad to say but real and fictional violence was part of the background sound of my childhood. No one talked to me about Viet Nam. It was this fighting going and I had no understanding of why.

LOTS of entertainment in my growing up years was about that particular war. I remember seeing TV coverage of Viet Nam and my brother and I saying, "I hope the Germans lose". It wasn't until I was in the 7th grade that I clearly understood we were not fighting Germany. I think that was because of not being specifically told and also because I just wasn't that interested in the details of the violent world I was in.

      If I recall correctly, Pete is talking with Trudy a bit later on in that episode and refers to Crane worrying about ad revenue in the wake of JFK’s assassination.
      This reminds me of how many of the partners in SDCP carry on immediately with business in the wake of fellow partners having heart attacks and dying.

    I hate when in a moment of a big conflict someone makes the opponents "shake hands" and "reconcile". Those are great issues, it's people's concience, actions. The conflict is real and "shaking hands" in such a moment is breaking one's will. Reconciliation is to be looked for and truly indispensible in long term, apologising and forgiving are very important, but only once we're ready for that in our conscience. When we decide that it's good despite our feelings about it. Otherwise it's just, as I say, breaking one's will. And it doesn't mend that well. Those here are adults, but when it's done to youngsters, that's worse.

    I think people miss the point of this. No one in Mad Men is a very good person. They have goodness in them and shittiness in them. Pete's humanity I think comes from the initial realisation that he would sell anything to anyone because you can succeed in advertising better by noticing untapped markets. His initial way of identifying with african americans is because he sees them as good for a pay out as anyone else. It's not a base level of humanity. But I think because he realises there is that common theme, his way of thinking progresses to seeing them as people who should have the same rights as everyone else. So he's still a womanising shit. He's just a womanising shit who happens to believe in civil rights.

And also Bertram cooper who was a seemingly sweet old man who believed in giving others second chances, and encouraging his employees, but in reality was VERY racist.
