What a wonderfully awkward, prolonged sequence that was watching Don go back to SC&P. It was expertly done from the start, as we cut back and forth between Don at home stressing out about going back in to him in the elevator at the office, where he was really freaking out, in a way that’s very rare for him. It was great how, by cutting back and forth between these two things, it wasn’t even clear that Don had actually gone into the office, as it seemed that perhaps he was only imagining how it might go – until he (and we) saw Dawn’s name on that office, conveying the changes that had occurred while he was gone.
It’s a testament to how involving Mad Men is that simply watching Don sit in the office was so packed with tension, as it became increasingly clear no one knew he was coming – and that none of the partners -- among others -- were happy to see him. Lou coming in to pull all of the young creative folks away, who were excited to see Don, was another blow, with Lou clearly trying to display that he’s got the power now.
