Lost Horizon

SC&P has made the physical move to the McCann Erickson offices. Some like Harry are looking forward to the new environment, some not so much. Several SC&P staff members are not going, some by choice, some not invited. One person's move that is delayed is Peggy, whose new office is not yet completed due to a mix-up. As such, she decides to stay at what is the largely empty and closed down old SC&P offices until such time as her new office is ready. She finds that it is a difficult period if only because of trying to do her work in a makeshift environment. Her final days at SC&P are illuminated by the few others who are straggling behind, one who is delaying the move by choice. Joan was anticipating a difficult move, being a partner at SC&P to a small player at McCann Erickson, which doesn't value the accounts on which she is working. Joan finds the transition even more difficult than she anticipated. One problem with a new coworker snowballs into another when she tries to rectify it on her own, without running for support from her old SC&P colleagues. She ultimately decides to take Richard's advice on the matter. One person who is welcomed with open arms is Don, as Jim Hobart has tried to woo him into the organization for years. Don will quickly find if he wants to reciprocate the love. He makes an impromptu decision to satisfy some need in his personal life. —Huggo
