New Business
- a very Don and Megan focused episode with a bit of Peggy, Stan, and Roger
- Don tries to start a relationship with Diana, the waitress he met in the last episode; at first things seem good but eventually she can't handle it; Diana has secrets of her own, a child that she left behind (in Wisconsin) and another child who is died young; plus there is the class divide which seems to be an unspoken, unmentioned barrier that keeps them (Don and Diana) from staying together
- Megan comes to town with her sister and mother in tow; she is there to (a) pick up her stuff from the apartment, (b) meet with Harry about her career, and (c) finalize her divorce with Don; she has to leave her mother and sister to take care of collecting her stuff; her mother takes not just Megan's stuff but everything, but then because she is short on cash she calls Roger Sterling for help; Roger not only gives her the cash she needs but also has sex with her
- the meeting with Harry doesn't go so well as he tries to talk her into having sex with him in exchange for his help; Megan turns him down
- the meeting with Don over the divorce ends with him giving her a check for 1 million dollars; he just wants it over; she is confused but takes the check; her head is spinning from dealing with her mother, sister, and Harry
- there is a side plot involving Peggy, Stan, and a freelancer named Pima Ryan (Mimi Rogers); Pima is a photographer and older than Peggy and Stan; she seduces Stan in his dark room; she tries the same trick on Peggy in her office but doesn't get anywhere
- on the whole a bit of an inbetweener type episode; there is some progress made in moving the overall story forward but very little in the way of office politics, which I love so much; not as much fun or as meaningful to me as the previous episode
