Mad Men: The Phantom

SYNOPSIS

Among those who are depressed about their lives are Megan, Pete and Beth. Beyond getting what she believes are obscene phone calls, Megan is feeling that her acting career is going nowhere, especially after being duped by an unscrupulous agency who filmed a screen test for her. She feels she gets little support from her visiting mother, Marie, and Don. She uses a request from her acting friend Emily to what she hopes will be her own advantage, but she will need some help from Don to achieve her end goal, which he may not be willing to provide. Pete is still restless in his life, even more so when he sees Beth again, this time with Howard on the commuter train. He learns from Beth to where she is going which is directly related to her own depression. Her ultimate destination continues the vicious cycle which is her life. She hopes that Pete will be at least a minor sanctuary from that life. Meanwhile, Don, who refuses to see a dentist about a chronic toothache, continually sees visions of his dead brother Adam all around him. Roger has two immediate goals, both which he hopes will involve Marie. Peggy is trying to settle into her new job, which has some challenges. Without letting the staff know, Joan is looking for extra office space for the company especially in light of the company's somewhat flush financial state (ironic considering Lane's need for personal income, despite much of the company's up front investment being from him) and no one wanting the office in which Lane committed suicide. And the partners decide what to do to memorialize Lane, which garners an unexpected reaction from Rebecca.
