Three new changes were introduced last week to rock the world of Sterling Cooper.
Betty’s father, Gene, has passed away, leaving behind a grieving daughter and granddaughter, Sally, who both are not prepared to deal with his death. Gene appeared to do everything in his power to upset the Draper household. He constantly attacked Don’s character, always noting that Don Draper didn’t have any “people” or history. During the last two episodes, Gene would pit his grandchildren against their parents. He tried to make Bobby defy Don’s wishes by wearing the helmet of a dead soldier. Gene also made strong comparisons between Betty and Sally, telling Sally how much better she was than her mother, Betty. Despite his unsettling personality, Gene’s death has left a void in the Draper household, which will have a ripple effect on Sally in future episodes.
Salvatore Romano has officially stepped up from advertising illustrator to commercial director. Although he may be sitting pretty at the office, his little commercial demonstration for his wife, Kitty, has left her with a disturbing impression of her husband. Does Kitty suspect Sal’s gay tendencies? His Bye Bye Birdie impression was a little too good.
Our favorite blossoming figure for woman’s liberation is stepping out into the big city. Peggy Olson has had a child out of wedlock, become the first woman with an office at Sterling Cooper, uses men for quick one-night flings, smokes marijuana and is now moving to Manhattan. Peggy’s mom is not happy with her daughter’s “Big City” decision. “You’ll get raped, you know.” Dark dialogue, like that, can only be found on “Mad Men,” and that’s why we continue watching.
