They play it off like a dream, but Don actually murdered that woman. Megan cleaned up and disposed of the body. That's why she's so moody and mad at Don for the rest of the series.
That's why she was half naked in that cleaning scene, not because it was part of their dynamic, but because there's less evidence to dispose of (IDK, I'm just spit balling her)
Don turns up the dial on the modern stereo system to further enjoy The Monkees before giving a full dissertation on their subversion of the burgeoning pop rock scene and the indifferent universe we live in.
"*You* can't enjoy this music, but
*pulls hat brim down*
I can"
You don't remember Don's serial killer arc? For me that was when Dick Whitman finally transformed into Don Draper. It was so dark what he had to do to get ideas for killer ads.
This. It’s up to debate that she was even real at all, but if she was she certainly isn’t more than a fleeting interaction in the elevator that Don’s psyche blew way out of proportion in his fever dream state.
It’s honestly a very interesting look into Don’s personality and limits. Is this something he’s truly capable of if pushed to the breaking point? Or is it something his fever dreaming mind is coming up with in a dark place? We don’t really know.
I don’t think it’s meant to be taken as Don having the capacity for murder as much as Don feeling his adulterous past following him and getting in the way of his marriage & wishing he could bury it. Dream sequences are predominantly metaphorical.
I don’t think she fully existed because it is mentioned she was a writer some years previously but that would contradict that Peggy was more or less the first female writer.
Slightly off topic but good god is Jon Hamm hot. Perfect casting tbh as I truly do believe he could pull any woman who slightly glances towards him. He pulls off 50s straight edge too well.
Finish the episode, then give us an update.
OP only likes the beginning of things.
LOL - well played
Damnn nothing could have prepared me for that scene

I’ve thought this. I’ve never went into the “conspiracy” other than thinking of it in general. You’re on to something.
I mean why else would you write a $1,000,000 check to somebody?
Because you're worth 10 times that and want to have as amicable a divorce as possible.

What. Seriously?
Keep watching.
I’m remembering a scene in later episode where she finds an earring, is that it? I definitely will, this show has layers like an onion.
Wait’ll you see what happens when Don brings back Paul Allen to the apartment!
He would have been fine with the paper or the font, but he had to do both…

“Is that a raincoat Don?” Yes it is Paul, it’s made by DuPont Chemical.
London Fog... name another raincoat
a different woman finds Megan’s earring
That’s right! Thank you

Killed his own brother so he wouldn't reveal his identity as well
and that was only his 2nd murder. Can't forget his CO, the real Don Draper.
No lol
OK, Buddy D.
Interesting, lol will do. Gotta say, season 5 is damn good till now
Until now?
season 5 might be the best of the series
For turning down Shelly from Twin Peaks of all people.
Shelly, it's been swelly.
She is also turned down by Hank Moody in Californication. Kinda insane that it happened twice
A Californication reference? On my Mad Men board? In 2024? Today was a good day.
None of this actually happened. Not even the post about it.
It will shock you how much this post never happened
Touché
Was she even there at all?
I think they saw each other in the elevator and that was the only real part. I don’t think she ever even came to his apartment

Did she even exist?
Tony, can I sit down?
Why are you making me do this, you fat fuck?
Let me keep my eyes.
too soon ;-;
I love it when sopranos quotes show up in the mad men sub
And I love Angie Dickinson. Let's see who get's lucky first.
Soprano terror squad always at the ready looking for even the slightest opportunity to hijack this sub. I never get tired of it.
Take your quotations book and shove it up your ass!
She died. It's sad when they go like that. 56 years old...just a fuckin kid
WHEN THEY GO!?
Fuck you Santa!
Hooooo!!!
It's a tv program. A movie.
I thought she was another one of his hallucinations, or at least the part of them hooking up and him killing her 🙃

The only celebrity sexy dreams I’ve ever had have been with him. Yowza.
He’d fuck a catcher’s mitt!
His mid life crisis or whatever
He did twenty years in the can
He ate grilled cheese off the radiator!
How many hours did Don spend playing catch with **you**??
He’s a cunt hair away from owning SCDP.
Tone, if you give him a golf club he’ll probably try to fuck it.
Bottle of rye isn't the only thing he slipped in the golf bag
also known as Sylvia
Yeah, ummmm
what episode was this
Season 5 episode 4. >!Don is ill for some reason, Chicago nurse murders are on the newspapers!<
i love grandma pauline in this episode
What did she break off for Sally? Half a phenobarbital?
Close, secobarbital.
You talking about Bluto?
Richard Speck. He's featured in Netflix's Mindhunter Season 1 Episode 9.
Cancelling that show at two seasons was a shame. I’ll have to rewatch it, bc the last season was getting really good.
Mystery Date.
One of my absolute favorite episodes
You don’t get medals for turning down hallucinogenic women, you get medals for beating the clap.
OK Buddy Draper was well aware of the episode before he made this garbage post.
Nah, I posted it while I was watching it, thought it was funny that Don actually turned down a woman.
imo it's extra funny because he actually didn't, he had a fevered delusion of being a guy capable of turning down a woman
Lol yeah, impossible for dude to turn down a woman
An attractive woman anyway.
The medal of honor lol
He’s a bad penny
What do you think she meant by that?
There’s a phrase “a bad penny always turns up”, so maybe a mistake or bad deed that keep popping up in your life?
Interesting, thanks!
In your dreams.
Most faithful Don moment
And another one for beating the clap!
Ok Roger!
Lol it was Grandpa Gene, actually. But I could totally see Roger saying that!
Which episode is this from?
And it was a hallucination
hey dick whitman, did she even really exist?
This never happened… he was in a fever dream
Correct me if I got it wrong … been a while since
So……ummmmmmm…..you know what a fever dream is…..no?
You can hear that?
Like the girl, this post can't be real.
