Mad Men - Season 7 Episode 2: A Day's Work
Don attempts to return to his advertising agency after being put on indefinite leave following a meltdown in the middle of a client meeting. Eventually, his status at the firm becomes the focus of a bitter power struggle between Roger and Jim, both of whom want to take Sterling Cooper & Partners in radically different directions. The highly anticipated series conclusion will, for the last time, follow the complex lives of Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty and Pete as their stories come to an end. It's the End of an Era.

This episode was a stalemate for the revival of Don's missing mojo. But it was a major victory for the secretaries -- not that it was easy.January 02, 2015
Groundwork was laid, and while it may not have been all fun and games, "A Day's Work" got the job done.January 02, 2015
It's hard to recall an episode of Mad Men that was as funny as this.January 02, 2015
"Sally Draper, the Queen of the awkward drop-in." A slow episode with a few sitcomish elements -- I hated the Peggy flowers bit even if it was designed mostly just to get Joan to a new place -- but the scenes between Don and Sally were stellar.January 02, 2015
"A Day's Work" is all about imbalance and discordance, mostly as a result of Don's failures as an individual, an adman, and a father.January 02, 2015
When it came to warm fuzzies, the show surprisingly delivered.January 02, 2015
This is a marvelous episode of Mad Men, so loaded with fine emotional moments both big and small.January 02, 2015
I can't recall another Mad Men episode that so clearly illustrated the uneasy tensions that smolder between characters along race and gender lines.
