This episode seems to indicate that Don Draper seems to be in a real decline. Here, he does not attend to the matters at hand because he is involved in a master/slave relationship with his latest squeeze, played by Linda Cardellini. Things do not go well with the relationship.
And they don't go smoothly with the merger, either. We'll see how it goes between Don and Ted Chaough. Looks like there may be a power struggle down the road. And at the end of the episode, it is clear that Don's marriage to Megan is fading away.
Pete Campbell's upheavals continue, as he deals with a mother who suffers from dementia. One of her rare lucid moments comes at the end, when she tells a half-asleep Pete that Kennedy has been shot. He somehow thinks she is referring to JFK, but it turns out that it is Bobby. The episode ends with Bobby being alive.
For a series that has had its share of flat spots in the last two years, this is the third episode in a row that has packed a punch. And it is clear that there will be more fireworks ahead!
