They think that they've put him into a corner by making these shytty stipulations for him but they forget, Draper practically MADE this organization.
All the ideas, the vision, the ads that made clients go
That was The Don. And it shows. Dudes convinced themselves that they did'nt want awards so it does'nt matter...but it DOES matter because no one gives a fukk about SCDP because the ads blow dikk. Draper was probably keeping them afloat by tunneling ideas through Freddy.
I have a feeling that Don is gonna sit back and watch this silly fukk Avery try to pump out shyt ideas til they're BEGGING for his input. Rogers knows this, that's probably why he wanted Don back. He was being very honest there in that convo. He let Don take some time to clear his head, get his shyt together and now it more or less is. He's gonna get his swag back and take his rightful place at the top of this company.

You owe The Don FOREVER you trollop!!! Don't ever forget it!
