Inside Mad Men, Season 5, Episode 8 — "Lady Lazarus"

Tonight was an episode about secrets and trying to keep them. Megan’s leaving early has Peggy covering for her when Don calls. Pete ends up having an affair with his fellow train commuter’s wife and he finds a way to see her after she tries to call it off. Then Megan decides to come clean to Don about wanting to act while Joan remains skeptical about his marriages. Very interesting episode.

Let’s look at the episode. We first have Matt Weiner, Jessica Paré, Vincent Kartheiser and Jon Hamm talking about what happened tonight.

And let’s go inside a key scene at the Cool Whip test kitchen where Don and Peggy try to act out a key scene for the product, but then argue about Megan’s decision to pursue her acting dream and leave Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

That was a great scene. And Angry Peggy is awesome. Now we have what’s in the next Mad Men episode.

And that’s all. The next episode of Mad Men is next Sunday night at 10 ET/PT on AMC.
