‘Mad Men’ Season 7, Episode 11 Spoilers: Don Has a Big Idea, Roger and Joan Fix a Clerical Error
Getting details of what to expect from an upcoming episode of "Mad Men" is akin to pulling teeth from a small, bottom-feeding fish. Based on the AMC Promo, Episode 11 from Season 7, "Time and Life," was fairly hard to decipher, given the "highly classified" status of episodes that haven't aired yet.
But according to CarterMatt, we can expect to see that Don has an empowering and possibly lucrative idea, which means that he may have a better time than on Episode 10. Not only was he told that he was not talented but just good looking, he was also called sad by realtor and insulted by his daughter.
Roger seemingly finds a clerical mistake, which he commissions Joan to fix.
The video also shows Peggy Olsen telling someone they are the expert, and Pete looks frustrated.
One thing is for sure, according to executive producer Matthew Weiner comments to Vulture: Every episode is seemingly to be the last. Just like with the last episode, "The Forecast," everything in one way or another seems to be wrapping itself up, or taking itself in a direction that falls outside of the realm of "Mad Men," in the way we have come to see it.
In a recap on Variety, Don continues his search for deeper meaning in his life, all while dishing out advice yet still underscoring the importance of Peggy. He also faces the angst of powerful women in this episode. In the end though, that leads to him selling his apartment, which was devoid of furniture.
Joan's story, which as been vaguely present onscreen in the second half of Season 7, take a little more extensive presence on the show, which involves a chance encounter in Los Angeles that followed her home, giving her an opportunity to look more closely at her life and what she wants to do with it.
Sally Draper, who is played by Kiernan Shipka, has reached the summit of teen angst, giving her repeated opportunities to scowl and scoff at her aging parents, apparently in an attempt to break away from them as best she can. This follows attempts by two of her friends to come on to both of her parents.
Though she criticizes Don for it, he tells her that she is more like her parents than she thinks.
Peggy and Mathis both bicker over the loss of a Peter Pan account, which leads Don to fire Mathis.
In an interview with Hollywood Life, executive producer Scott Hornbacher said, "You know, my feeling about the show is that the characters have come back to their true selves, and the only thing I'll say is that, as far as I'm concerned, that holds true for all of them."
