THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED SEASON #6 OF "MAD MEN." IF THE FINAL EPISODE(S) STILL AWAIT YOU ON YOUR DVR, YOU MAY WANT TO COME BACK TO THIS POST AFTER YOU WATCH THEM!
Here is what happened to Don Draper in Season Six of "Mad Men":
- He drank a lot.
- He had a very dangerous affair with the downstairs neighbor, who was part of a couple with whom the Drapers socialized.
- He got dumped by said neighbor/mistress, whereupon he became a spurned stalker of said neighbor/ex-mistress.
- Completely on his own, he forged a merger with a rival agency of Sterling Cooper Draper Price. (I mean, could something like that possibly happen in real life?)
- He was the subject of scornful and cutting comments by co-workers - Pete, Peggy, Harry, Stan (the guy with he beard) - who used to fear him.
- He drank a lot.
- He hooked up for a one night stand with his ex-wife.
- He resumed affair with his neighbor, only to be caught in flagrante delicto by his daughter. Talk about icky!
- Spent a night in a jail drunk tank.
- He stopped drinking, only to be told to drink again before a big pitch meeting.
- Completely blew the big pitch meeting.
- Made Megan quit her job because they were going to move to California.
- Changed his mind about moving to California, whereupon Megan walked out on him.
- Got fired by Sterling Cooper & Partners.
I'm sure I've left out some other stuff, too.
I guess that Season Six could be subtitled "Don Draper's Descent Into Hell."
So, when does Season Seven start?
