Lots to talk after this week’s episode of Mad Men, titled, “The Color Blue.”

After three seasons of wondering, Betty finally unlocks Don’s secret desk drawer. Inside are relic’s of his previous life, including the divorce certificate he needed from the previous Don Draper’s marriage in order to marry Betty the model all those years ago. Betty has all the pieces of Don’s double life right there in her hands, but she clearly doesn’t quite understand what it all means.

That being said, she is furious. She reacts with immediate (and lasting) anger and means to confront Don whenever he decides to come home later that night. Unfortunately for Betty, his affair with Sally’s former teacher means he doesn’t come home at all. She instead puts everything back as it was, leaving lots of setup for what’s sure to be a spectacular final three episodes of the season.

Elsewhere:

• We learn that Sterling Cooper is suddenly for sale on the eve of their 40th birthday, to the dismay of Mr. Pryce and the dismay of Mrs. Pryce
• At celebration party, we see just how polished Roger Sterling can be
• Kinsey realizes that there’s a lot he could learn from Peggy
• And poor Joan and Sal are no where to be seen

We’ll do the podcast right through the end of the season. All comments and e-mails (podcast@rrstar.com) are appreciated!
