The episode starts with Don and Ted dragging Peggy into their argument to be the judge and take sides, Peggy stayed neutral and doesn't choose any sides, this scene is directly linked to the final scene when we can see Peggy trapped between Don and Ted , this scene reflects how much creativity Matthew Weiner have in hand.in the rest of the episode, we meet some interesting events such as Peggy stabbing Abe, Arlene trying to establish lesbian relation with Megan,Roger trying to fixes things with Joan,but the major event in this episode was seeing Don and Betty reunion at bed, it was unexpected moment, giving how much hate Betty owns towards Don,it was not clear if it's one time thing or not, but providing the the scene when Betty was talking to Henry and everything was perfectly normal, it says that it's a one time thing, and finally Bob Benson, the mysterious character in the show, having no idea or clue about Bob's background or history gives us an ambiguity character,all we know about him that he is a nice guy,a nice guy in a business where the word nice is seldom used.

Pass me the soap

Help! Mad Men is turning into a soap opera. This season has on the one hand retained some of the quality of the previous seasons, but I can't help but get the feeling that the writers are running out of good ideas and that some of the main character's story lines/arcs are exhausted.
This is something that eventually happens with all series. It feels like the writers would be wise to call it quits after this season. Every new development (plot, character) seems like a repetition of something we've already seen before (and better), only in a new setting.
The writers would have to make some rigorous changes - like in season 4, when Don was living alone and passing out in the hallway of his apartment all the time -, but then that would maybe seem forced after all he and the other characters have been through. The plot would become more and more implausible, but something has to change for the series not to sink deeper into the drift sand that its gotten stuck in.

Better Half-For Better or Worse? **1/2

Warning: Spoilers
Is Don trying to make it with his ex-wife? What goes on here.
Peggy realizes that she has made a mistake when her boyfriend is stabbed leaving the subway on his way home. We really begin to see bias here as the boyfriend exclaims ultra-liberal views, even when he is the victim of a crime. On the other hand, Peggy takes an opposite view and invariably their relationship comes to a grinding halt here.
What's with Don's partner here in his relationship with his daughter and grandson?
I found this episode to be very uneven, especially leaving me with questions and answers unresolved.
