This Week’s Mad Men: “The Arrangements” – Passing On In A Number Of Ways

Things are happening on Mad Men this week as a major character shakes off this mortal coil, a poor little rich boy insists that Jai Alai is going to be the next big thing and Peggy tells her family that she's moving to Manhattan to join the jet set.

There were some really incredibly nice moments in this week's episode - 10-year-old Sally driving the car with her grandfather looking on not just approvingly, but proudly, Gene giving Bobby a history lesson and a Prussian helmet much to Don's dismay and Sal visualizing for horny wife Kitty that he's a great visual commercial director and that he's also a homosexual.

I also enjoyed Peggy's mother letting her daughter know that it would take more than a new TV for her to sign off on Peggy's move into the city where, her mother chides her, she will inevitably "be raped."

The theme of the episode is one of family and passing on objects, legacies, memories.  They're getting very oblique on the previews for the next week's episode.  What to think?
