#4 – Guy Walks Into An Ad Agency: Season 3, Episode 6
What's that you say? You can't remember what this episode is about by looking at the admittedly vague title? One word, and one word alone will refresh your memory: lawnmower. Yep, this is that episode, the first one in our TV memory that involves the removal of someone's limb, in an office setting, with a lawnmower. As Chekov said, you can't introduce a gun (or a lawnmower) in the first act without it being put to use by the third act. In this tumultuous episode, full of seismic shifts in the professional and personal lives of our favorite Sterling Cooper characters, it is the lawnmower incident that shakes the structure of the company back into a semblance of recognizable order, at least in the short term.
