As the credits rolled on the fifth season of AMC's “Mad Men” on Sunday, we were left wondering whether Don would remain faithful to his wife or succumb to the charms of a pair of comely young barflies.

How did you commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee? Matthew Weiner & Co. celebrated by offering up the lone British character as a sacrifice to Her Majesty. I dare you to try and top that.

Sally had a big night too, but right now it's time to pour one out for Mr. Pryce.

Farewell, Lane; you'll always occupy prime real estate in our hearts for that one time you kicked Pete Campbell's a**.

Assuming you weren't overcome by the suffocating fog of testosterone that lingered over Sunday's episode, you know that it was the manliest show in the history of shows, with men doing macho, scumbaggy things without taking others' feelings into consideration. Let's talk about what went down.

The effort to secure the Jaguar campaign was in full swing, and all (male) hands were on deck to help land the account. And because only dudes are capable of dreaming up slogans for cars – it says so in the Bible – Peggy was relegated to handling the firm's other business.

This week's episode kicked off the 1966 holiday season and served as a reminder that families – whether nuclear or professional – are almost always rife with drama.

We opened with Don putting together a portfolio of work to submit for a New York Times profile on "hip" ad agencies. In doing so, he realized how much of an impact Ginsburg's had on the firm's recent business.

After the excitement of the past few episodes, Sunday's "Mad Men" was kind of a slow burn.

However, if you’re a fan of either "Gilmore Girls" or "Saved by the Bell," it was more like Christmas morning with a dash of your birthday thrown in. But I digress.
