Mad Men 1.3

Marriage of Figaro


Rachel Menken accompanies Don around her store and they develop a mutual attraction for one another. Pete returns from his honeymoon and informs Peggy that their one night together was just that, a one night stand. Don is caught off guard when a man on a train calls him by the name of Dick Whitman. Most of the episode centers around Don's daughter's birthday party at the Draper home. Some friends gather, and it's apparent that Don isn't satisfied with his comfortable little life. A nice episode with some long scenes. Not much happens, but this episode develops the Draper family and the hellish existence of Don's perfect little world.

Grade: 8/10
