Mad Man: Season 5: Episode 7

The writing in this episode of Mad Men is worthy of Chekhov. The final, heart-breaking scene where the characters sit staring in different directions encased in their own reflections, stunned into solitude, is layered with so many carefully articulated subtexts that the Russian master has to be behind the scenes pulling the strings.

I thought the lyricism of last week’s ending could not be topped, but clearly it has.
