IMDb Editors' Top “Mad Men” Episodes13 of 13
#1 (tie)– The Strategy: Season 7, Episode 6
If season four's "The Suitcase" stands as the best episode of "Mad Men" -- it ranked #1 among our top User-Rated episodes -- this one serves as its emotional bookend, showing how far Don and Peggy have evolved together, and separately. When the agency asks Don to pitch her idea for Burger Chef's commercial, Peggy is wracked with doubt and signs herself up for a lonely late night of work. But Don, realizing his time on top is near its end, drops his evening plans to coach her through the idea, declaring in the end that she should do the pitch, not him. This time the pair of comrades bring their work meeting to a close with a platonic slow dance, cheek to cheek... an image that will stay in the memory as long as our admiration for this show remains in our hearts.
