How things ended on Mad Men Season 5

Mad Men Season 6 first episode is out today! After a nine months wait, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce are back again. We missed them!

The past season was full of symbolism, drama, changes and doubt. But it also was the one with more fun moments, and with more dynamic action. I’ve heard that Season Six will make a radical change, maybe a flash-forward. I prefer to wait to see it!

It’s been so long that I had to watch the last episode again to remember how things ended at Madison Avenue:

HOW THINGS ENDED ON MAD MEN SEASON 5

Peggy has left the agency and now works at CGC with Ted Chaough, their competitor. Don told her he’s really proud of her. It seems things are going well for her, but she still seeks Don’s approval.
Lane died (he committed suicide because of his debts, aggravated when Don found out that he had falsified the partner’s signatures to cash a check, which caused Don’s fury towards Lane). The label received $175.000 from the insurance company, and Don gave Lane’s widow $50.000. She accepted the money, but told Don that he didn’t do it as a kind act and he did it to clean his conscience.
Beth went through shock therapy, and forgot about Pete and her. Pete went to visit her at the hospital, and was devastated when he saw that she didn’t remember him. On the train back home, he got into a fight with Beth’s husband and got punched. Trudy believed Pete’s story (that he had had a car accident), and she decided that they had to buy a flat for Pete in NY (what he always had wanted)
Megan had lost all hopes about her acting career, which was causing problems on her marriage, and asked Don to get her a part at a commercial, but he refused. Then, after watching Megan’s audition tape, he reconsidered it and got her the part.
Don had a toothache and went to the dentist to have he molar removed. During the anesthesia he went through visions of his dead brother, who blamed him for his death told him that «it isn’t the tooth that’s rotten». Also, Don had strong feelings of guilt after Lane’s death.
Betty still has overweight problems, and is envious about Megan’s beauty, so she tells Sally about Don’s marriage with Ann.
Roger keeps taking LSD and has an affair with Megan’s mother.
The episode ends with Don at a bar, in the moment that a girl approaches and asks him if he’s alone. You can hear the song «You only live twice». What did he answer? We’ll know soon!

Hoy se estrena en Estados Unidos la sexta temporada de Mad Men. Después de nueve meses de espera, por fin vuelve Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. ¡Les echábamos de menos!

La quinta temporada estuvo plagada de simbolismos, dramas, cambios, y dudas. Pero también fue la que ha tenido más momentos cómicos, y la que ha tenido una acción mucho más dinámica. Se ha comentado que la sexta temporada dará un cambio radical, quizás con un salto en el tiempo. ¡Mejor dejar que nos sorprendan!

Ha pasado tanto tiempo que he tenido que ver de nuevo el último episodio para recordar cómo habían acabado las cosas por Madison Avenue:

CÓMO ACABÓ LA QUINTA TEMPORADA

Peggy se ha ido de la agencia a CGC, la competencia, con Ted Chaough. Don le dijo que estaba muy orgulloso de ella. Parece que las cosas le van bien, pero aún busca la aprobación de Don.
Lane ha muerto (se suicidó a causa de las deudas y después de que Don averiguara que había falsificado las firmas de los socios para cobrar un cheque de la empresa, lo que desató la furia de Don). La empresa se ha llevado 175.000$ del seguro, y Don le dio a la viuda de Lane 50.000$ sin que nadie lo supiera, excepto Joan (que lo sabe todo). La viuda aceptó el dinero, pero le echó en cara a Don que no lo hacía por bondad, sino por amor propio.
Beth se ha sometido a una terapia de electroshock, y ha olvidado que ella y Pete eran amantes. Pete fue a visitarla al hospital y se quedó devastado cuando ella no se acordaba de él. Al volver a casa, en el tren, se peleó con el marido de Beth y acabó recibiendo un puñetazo. Judy se creyó que los golpes habían sido por un accidente de coche y le dijo a Pete que comprarían un piso para él en Nueva York (lo que siempre había querido Pete).
Megan había perdido toda la esperanza sobre el futuro de su carrera como actriz, lo que estaba causando problemas en su matrimonio. Le pidió a Don que intentara que la contratasen para un anuncio, a lo que él se negó. Pero cuando Don vio el vídeo de la audición de Megan, se quedó ensimismado y consigue que la elijan a ella.
Don tenía dolor de muelas y fue al dentista para que le hicieran una extracción. Durante la anestesia tuvo visiones en las que aparecía su hermano fallecido, donde le echaba la culpa de su muerte y le decía que «no es la muela lo que está podrido en ti». Además, seguía con un fuerte sentimiento de culpabilidad por la muerte de Lane.
Betty seguía con problemas de sobrepeso, y le contó a Sally, en un ataque de celos por la belleza de Megan, que Don había estado casado con Ann.
Roger sigue tomando LSD y tiene un affair con la madre de Megan.
El capítulo acaba con Don en un bar, en el momento en el que una chica le pregunta si está solo. Mientras, suena «You Only Live Once» ¿Qué respondería? ¡Pronto lo sabremos!
