Mad Men: The Crash

SINOPSIS

Don has been loitering outside the Rosens' apartment. Sylvia sees the signs that he has been doing so and implores him to stop although Don is desperate to continue the liaison with her. At the office, Ken has been taking the brunt of the issues with the Chevy account, and it is he who relays to the partners that GM has provided a three year timeline with key deadlines, the next to take place the upcoming Monday in 72 hours. It's bad timing especially for the former CGC partners and staff as Frank Gleason has just passed away, meaning that some have to make a presence at the funeral, while others have to work the weekend for that next presentation to GM. To deal with a work related injury that Ken suffered, as well as provide those working the weekend with a boost, Jim calls in his personal physician who provides a vitamin and energy shot to most of the creative staff and partners to get them through the weekend to battle the probable exhaustion that would occur otherwise. The stimulant in the shot takes over the creative thought for most of the weekend. The shot, in combination with a severe chest cold, is making Don remember back to a situation during his puberty, relating both to his relationship with Sylvia as well as the Chevy campaign. Having to work, Don will miss his weekend visit with the children. As Megan has a theater date which she hopes to parlay into a stage role. She, as she has done before, leaves Sally in charge of looking after the boys. Their weekend is disrupted by an unexpected visitor.
