Mad Men: In Care Of (2013)
Season 6, Episode 13
10/10
Excellent, engaging, endearing ending
3 November 2014
Creator Matthew Weiner gives us his best episode and it clearly shows us where all these greatly crafted characters and amazing actors have arrived after six solid seasons. Peggy and Ted relationship vs Don and Megan. Very different to be sure, connect in conflict and in pursuit of happiness in the vast loud chaos of life. Choices, feelings, heartbreaks and complicated realities are re-enacted to pure perfection. Elisabeth Moss and Jessica Pare embody the multi-level writing under Weiner's equally deft directing.

Don childhood finally takes an exquisite form in a fantasy vs reality meeting about chocolate and so much more.

The show ends wordlessly, when all is said and done perfectly. Profound, sad and so satisfied even if probably as unsettling as life itself.

So good I am afraid to watch season 7 as I do not see how one can possibly top this although I am happy to keep following the lives of these vivid (sometimes livid) people.
