Mad Men - Season 7 Episode 5: The Runaways
Don attempts to return to his advertising agency after being put on indefinite leave following a meltdown in the middle of a client meeting. Eventually, his status at the firm becomes the focus of a bitter power struggle between Roger and Jim, both of whom want to take Sterling Cooper & Partners in radically different directions. The highly anticipated series conclusion will, for the last time, follow the complex lives of Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty and Pete as their stories come to an end. It's the End of an Era.

Well, that happened. Sliced body parts, threesomes, leaked corporate information... it was definitely an interesting hour of Mad Men.

It may be Don's story, but ex-wife Betty ran away with this episode -- and that was grand.
January 04, 2015
With such overt techniques and uncomfortably paced scenes that you can't help but wonder if what you're watching is next-level genius or a severe artistic mishap.
January 04, 2015
Mad Men veers close to self-parody in this episode, where shock seems calibrated to cover how much here restates what has already been said.

Viewers thought the "mature content" warning was referring to the threesome, then got a brutal surprise.
January 04, 2015
A[n] episode with an unrelenting focus on authority -- who has it, who wants it, who wants to defy it, and who believes they've lost it.
January 04, 2015
Well, at least that wasn't boring. After last week's rather ironic by-the-book ode to Kubrick, Mad Men threw the kitchen sink at us in episode five including a blast from the past, a threesome, and some particularly dirty office politics.

Watch out, Cutler. Just like the Waylon Jennings song "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" that plays out at the end of the episode, Don's going to keep stepping on everyone's toes until he gets what he wants.

I'm increasingly hoping that silhouette I've been watching fall from a New York skyscraper in the show's opening credits for seven seasons turns out to be Lou Avery after Don tosses him through a window.
