Sunday’s episode of Mad Men was the strongest of the season so far (in my humble opinion, as they say), and it was all thanks to a restoration of a proper Peggs-Bets ratio. Specifically, when there is more Peggy and less Betsy, the show excels, and since Sunday’s episode focused rather intensively on Peggs  culminating in that brilliant, wonderful utterance of the word “DON”  I can’t help but to heap praises on the show. But it wasn’t just Peggy that made the episode. A certain fan-favorite Jewess made a cameo, and that alone was cause for celebration. Also, Ken Cosgrove’s stock went up when Don’s new secretary/vamp asked him for his title and all he could muster out was a shocked but pathetic, “I’m… Ken!” Good times indeed.
And now, a brief ten word recap that I think cuts to the core of the episode:
You mean you weren’t regaled by the Betsy horse-riding storyline?
Yup, I was very happy to see Rachel Menken again, and I think this new hot secretary has potential.
Peggs was fantastic in this episode, as usual. More Joan!!
I’m going, but I’m not leaving, Peaches.

I’m a huge Peggs fan, and was glad they fill in some blanks somewhat.
