This was a rather explosive episode for the slow-moving Season 6. Don blows up Jaguar. That pisses off Joan. Megan finds a way back into Don’s pants (this is the nicest way I could put it). Roger uses an airline hostess to drum up new business for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. SCDP attempts to go public. Pete Campbell then blows the secret. And while celebrating, he sees his father-in-law in a house of ill repute and blows a big account. Literally. And then he blows his marriage and goes down swinging.
While all that is happening, all hell breaks lose. There’s an agency merger between SCPD and Cutler Gleason Chaough to get the Chevrolet account and Peggy is back working with Don. And I’m stunned. Easily the best episode of the season. For the first five episodes, the season was moving slowly, then in the last 30 minutes of tonight’s episode, BOOM! New agency.
Let’s go over the episode with Matthew Weiner, Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Kevin Rahm (first appearance from him in these videos! Nice!) and Elisabeth Moss discuss what happened in tonight’s episode.
Now to Costume Designer Janie Bryant who describes the outfit Megan wears when her mother comes to visit. Awesome.
And of course, the always cryptic promo for Episode 7.
Mad Men airs on AMC at 10 p.m. ET/PT every Sunday.
