James Wolk did a grand job of conveying Benson’s duplicity this week, demonstrating that underneath beaming Bob’s surface sits a resourceful schemer unafraid to protect himself if threatened. He’s another invented man, and one dangerous when cornered. The recipient? Your father never gave you anything, Sally? Photograph: Jessica Brooks/AMC, here are some episodes in which Mad Men gives you everything you hope for; when the drama that can seem to revel in its slow pace and cyclical themes suddenly ups the ante to deliver shock, surprise and – in the words of those Greeks – a bit of good old. Part of me wonders if Megan’s whole acting/soap storyline was introduced as a lead-up to the moment when Don would flick casually through the channels only to stumble upon the delicious irony of his wife rehearsing a scene they’ve yet to enact for real. Sally’s easy lie about her pushy ‘date’ once again showed that she’d learnt to dissemble from the best of them. It doesn't, thanks to Don pulling off a piece of bravura office theatre in front of aspirin manufacturer St Joseph's. Does the best man win, or the best idea? Or, given the state of most of the men in this show, the good guy. And that's Glen. Another sign of the increasing dominance of TV as America's favourite medium. This week's episode was the penultimate one of the season, the "red wedding" slot, and it didn't disappoint. Sally bangs on the door behind which Glen is getting busy. What we are left with is a revelation that reveals nothing. Surrender was a verb carefully chosen in a season of battles and power struggles set against the vague backdrop of an overseas war. Meanwhile, Pete's life is falling apart as well, thanks to the meddling of Bob Benson. Ted wants this ad for personal reasons, he says, reasons he won't admit in public. TV Schedule. Having tried and failed to prise out the reasons for her daughter's newfound scholastic enthusiasm, Betty drops Sally off for an overnight visit. There's a great ambiguity about that line. As Sally is inducted into the adolescent world of illicit consumption, she is forced to escape from the attentions of Glen's acquaintance Rollo (he likes to roll). The size of the cast was not only too costly, but diluted the impact of the idea. In the penultimate episode of the season, we see Don Draper at his best and worst, and the Bob Benson mystery is solved (well, sort of), Ted Chaough, Peggy Olson, Megan Draper and Don Draper in Mad Men season six, episode 12. Between the electioneering ad and paranoia of Rosemary’s Baby (you don’t put Tricky Dicky and reference to conspiracy in a Mad Men script unless you want the dots joined by fans), Matthew Weiner and co. have done a tremendous job this season at making us jump at shadows. Joan's decision to go after a new account on her own leaves Pete furious and frustrated. He first made his name campaigning for greater car safety, publishing a book Unsafe at Any Speed in 1965 that led to national legislation the very next year. Don renews his battle with Ted after seeing his relationship with Peggy, Sally interviews at a boarding school, and Pete discovers Bob Benson's background.

The penultimate episode of Mad Men's sixth season finally reveals Bob Benson's secret. Does he mean off limits as an amorous exploit, or a professional one? Does Matthew Weiner want us to think about death? We saw Don Draper at his best and worst, with Peggy Olson sticking one in his gut (an insult this time, rather than a bayonet). Even the mystery of Bob Benson was dealt with, in the sense that one mystery was replaced with another. All parties, at some point, were in the right. It couldn't last. However, Roger uses a new connection to put them in position to gain their biggest client ever. And when he first made his appearance in the SCDP elevator, he'd just walked in straight off the street. A big box office hit, it was Roman Polanksi's final film before the murder of his wife Sharon Tate (to whom other Mad Men characters have been linked this season). Is Don already dead? I'm not sure I've all that much invested in Ken any more.

After the traumatic events of last week, she has resolved to get as far away from her father as possible, and that means Miss Porter's, the boarding school that was alma mater to Jackie Kennedy Onassis. There have been so many scattered instances of death, injury, war, and crime throughout, that though a consistent through-line for the season may escape us, this run of Mad Men has certainly shaken us up.
