After the big scene ended in this week’s episode, “Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency,” I sent a mass text to my friends that simply said: !!!

Most of the responses were varying degrees of, “I know!” Turns out, a few exclamation points were all I had needed to describe the best Mad Men episode of the season so far. Luckily for me, I have two podcast guests with larger vocabularies and a lot more to say.

Download the podcast above to listen to Will Pfeifer, Sean Driscoll and I go over the major plot points of the episode, including:

• The greatest lawnmower accident scene in television history
• Joan’s apparent last day at Sterling Cooper, and the demise of her new hubby’s New York surgical career
• An explanation for Sally’s recent behavior
• And the great reorganization of Sterling Cooper that results in nothing changing

We appreciate all the reader feedback we’ve been getting. It’s nice to get different takes on this show, especially when you’re trying to talk about so many different plots each episode. Keep the comments rolling!
