And while Don is obviously dealing with some anger issues of his own, we're rapidly approaching the meeting in which Peggy punches a philistine client in the face.

On the other hand, when Don and Megan collapsed on the floor in their apartment, I half expected them to start getting it on as the climax to an elaborate 24-hour role-play.

My name is Peggy Olson and I want to smoke some marijuana and give handjobs to a complete stranger in a theater.

Was sincerely hoping for Megan's disappearance to end with her turning up eight years later as an M1-wielding mascot for the Symbionese Liberation Army.

I haven't seen the show so I can't speak to any of the characters, but sounds like you're relating to them already, Sarah.

Nobody's going out a window.

In fairness to Don, he was fighting a guy who killed 17 men in Okinawa.

Given how obsessed this audience seems to be with death/suicide – involving Roger and Pete, specifically, since the show can't very well kill off Don – I suspect the writers are deliberately avoiding doing anything so predictable. (Although I don't think they're above dangling the possibility to keep us on our toes.…

The noose was an interesting nod to the ongoing battle in Don's psyche, which otherwise this episode really didn't address. I think it was a subtle sign to the audience that he's still dealing with the demons at play in last week's fantasy choke-out scene and, on a broader level, with pushing his brother to…

Yeah, we were subjected to a very similar video in the nineties showing the aftermath of terrible crashes scored to "In the Air Tonight."

I think it came out of a place of raging testosterone.

The reference to "Mr. Toad" is slightly more specific than that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik… Though Mr. Toad is, ultimately, just a big foppish toad.

Don also loses his shit when he thinks the government is on to his con at the end of Season 4. He freaks out, forces Pete to sabotage the account, becomes physically ill and in his panic tells the truth about his identity to Faye Miller – more open than he was even with Rachel Mencken. We've seen him occasionally…

I see what you did there.

I think the better question for this theory is, why wouldn't we have had the scene where Pete told Roger?

Sorry, I was talking about the prostitute. And Joy is among the elite, without a doubt… except for the whole thing with her dad walking in on you the next morning, talking about his "beautiful babies."

Pete's "date" has rocketed past Miss Farrell and Kitty Romano to the top of the "Women of Mad Men" power rankings. My god.

It's all the little grace notes that made the fistfight scene so perfect. Burt Cooper, rubbing Roger's shoulders with no context: "Don't worry. Nixon's about to make his move." Lane bursting in, shouting "HE WAS CAUGHT WITH CHEWING GUM ON HIS PUBIS!" The slow, incredulous reaction of the other partners as they…

To be fair, Megan told Don the same thing about being interested in copywriting the first time she seduced him in Season 4, though even then it seemed like a cheap excuse to seduce him.

"I have nothing."
