In the midseason finale: Don nearly gives in, Roger becomes a leader, and Peggy shines.
Each season, ‘Mad Men’ gives us at least one great Peggy/Don episode, and this week’s “The Strategy” is just that.
In this week’s strange episode: Don struggles to get back on top, Megan plans a threesome, Betty finds a voice, and Ginsberg loses it (and…his nipple).
This week’s episode saw Don falling quickly into his old habits (drinking and ignoring responsibilities) but also saw him make a change right at the end. It also challenged old ideas with the future and put generations against each other.
This week on ‘Mad Men’: Megan kicks Don out, Don goes back to work, and Betty loses her lunch.
This week’s episode was titled ‘A Day’s Work,’ but very little work was actually done. It focused on Valentine’s Day and questioned how long Don can stay in this state of limbo and lies.
‘Mad Men’ is one of the best written and acted series on television, so it comes as no surprise that the beginning of the seventh season was well-crafted. It provided important moments for Don, Joan, and Peggy and began to set the stage for what’s to come in this final chapter.
