Not rated highly but actually one of the better episodes so far of this season, granted that there aren't too many, but Season 6 makes all the worst MAD MEN seasons polls, and mostly it's because of Don's boring affair with the married living-upstairs-with-a-doctor Sylvia...
They have dinner at a restaurant this episode and then have... more sex because, their story is they have sex... that's it... she's probably the worst Don-affair ever on the show, and compared to years earlier, the actress (Freaks and Geeks) doesn't look all that beautiful...
What works here is the radio subplot of Jaguar and Don's cheating Mini-Me Pete's trouble that Don will be getting into soon enough with Megan...
The best sequences of MAD MEN, no matter what episode, are the deals, the pitches, all that stuff is so great but with the soap operatic detours, they're left on the backburner, or not burning at all, which is a shame because, what they guys do for a living should be paramount...
But not all guys, as Peggy's story, working now for the weaselly competitor, is thickening the plot-line about possibly turning on her old friends.
