He was given time off for what he said during the Hershey presentation. That level of instability and poor judgment was enough. If Hershey had been legitimately interested in hiring them to advertise, it was over after that. As far as the two Hershey guys could tell after that little rambling confession, Don is certifiable and if they told other agencies what he said, it could really hurt.
I'm so glad Pete didn't destroy that Z-28 or run over somebody, but that scene was emblematic of his level of failure and frustration. The look on his face after he knocked down that signage said it all, and the way those GM guys just turned and walked away was very telling.
Pete survived the episode and another season, but he wasn't alone in "extreme frustration hell." It seemed like EVERYONE was having somewhat of a life meltdown with major personal and professional life detours forced upon them. What an episode.
