Best episode of Mad Men ever? Possibly. Then again, I find the Don/Peggy relationship to be the most fascinating of the show, so I might be biased. But really, how many glorious moments can you fit into one hour of television? The coat and hat that Peggy kept taking off and putting back on. The cockroach walking by the Parthenon. "Sterling's Gold", a tale of lost days and lost testicles. Duck almost taking a dump on Roger's modernist lounger. Anna the apparition and her suitcase. (Tears.) Don finally returning Peggy's touch, in a familial way. (Thank you.) Illustration courtesy of Audrey Malo.9.06.2010

One hour of perfection. I just watched it again.
We finally just started the watching this season, about four episodes in now, loving it, sounds like I've got a great episode to look forward to!
It makes me excited for this next episode. And sad that it's nearly over.
