IMDb Editors' Top “Mad Men” Episodes4 of 13
#9 - In Care Of: Season 6, Episode 13
As "Mad Men" season finales go, this one did not have the mind-reeling blindside of Don's out-of-nowhere engagement to Megan in "Tomorrowland," or the rapid story refresh of "Shut the Door. Have a Seat." Instead, we saw what happened when the carefully tended lives of two men suddenly, unexpectedly fall apart. Don, wrestling with the worst of his drinking, finally drops the mask in the middle of a Hershey's presentation by confessing that his composed identity is, in fact, a lie. The more memorable scene-stealer, though, was Pete's reaction to the news that his mother may have been murdered at sea, culminating in one of "Mad Men's" funniest and most frequently quoted elevator exchanges.
