Review of Flight 1

Mad Men: Flight 1 (2008)
Season 2, Episode 2
Plane Goes Down
8 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Peter and Trudy go to a party where Peggy and some other office workers are at. Trudy says she has nothing against negroes but she is worried they will steal.

Mr. Sterling and Donald Draper come into the office to see the entire office gathered around the radio where they are listening to a news report on a plane crash that killed about a hundred people. Don tells them to turn it off and they get to work on this news and how it will affect their airline accounts. Don goes into a meeting with the upper management and they are want an American airline and wants to let go of the one they have for another.

Don goes home to Betty and Betty tells him they are to play cards with another couple. Don is not enthusiastic but goes with it. The kids are to go to sleep but their younger son comes down for another M&M. Don goes to take him to bed while Betty tells the adults how she was more scared of her dad than bedtime. Francine's husband said he hated going to bed and would read comics with a flashlight. Betty says she does not care what they do as long as she gets a break and Francine says their child tests her patience.

Peggy goes home to her mom's where her baby is sleeping in another room.

Peter comes into Don's office absolutely shocked and on the verge of tears. I like the way Don holds his pencil and writes. Peter's father was on that plane. Don tells him to go home to his family as normal people do. Peter is shocked, saying how his everyday normal life is the same despite the fact this happened. His life is not any different.

Peter uses his own personal event with the death of his father on that plane to persuade the airline to join with Sterling and Cooper.

Don goes to a Japanese restaurant to tell the airline rep the news. There is a stunning asian girl dressed in a tight Chinese dress with no asian accent. She attracts Don. It ends off with Donald leaving the restaurant.
