Mad Men: Signal 30 (2012)
Season 5, Episode 5
9/10
Lane Pryce's wife Rebecca notices when her husband comes home with a sticky wicket
12 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is over flowing with comedy, drama, and the character assasination of Pete Campbell. On top of all the social activity in the suburbs where Pete and Trudy Campbell are hosting the Drapers and the Cosgrove's Don becomes the hero once again when he spontaneously rips off his sport jacket and shirt to fix Trudy's burst kitchen sink pipe which embarasses Pete for a failed repair job he did previously.

On top of the social ativities this is a stand out episode for Lane Pryce (Jared Harris) who begrudgingly agrees to go to an English pub to have dinner with his wife Rebecca (Embeth Davidtz) when he accidentally picks up on a new potential client for his firm, the Jaguar car. Lane is really pissed off when he finds out that his partners Pete, Roger and Don have taken his new found friend and potential Jaguar client to a house of ill repute and the client's wife finds out about it when she finds a wad of gum stuck to his pubic hairs. Lane is so pissed with the way Pete Campbell disparages him that he challenges Pete to fisticuffs right there in the office, and a brouhaha ensues.

Pete is embarrassed on many fronts by Don, by Lane, and by anoher driving ed student in his class named Jim Hanson who seems to have the upper hand on the teenage skirt that Pete showed great interest in wooing.
