This episode is all about the relationships between parents
and children, which shouldn’t be surprising since that’s one of the main themes
of the series. The major occurrence is the death of Betty’s father, Gene, but
we also get a look at Peggy and her mom, and a client whose son is trying to
blow through his inheritance on a pipe dream. There isn’t anything wrong with
this installment, but there isn’t anything memorable about it, either. Beyond
the plot point of Gene’s death, it’s skippable.
Best Scene: On a
show full of great actors, Kiernan Shipka doesn’t get enough credit for her
portrayal of Sally Draper. Her work in this episode is outstanding,
particularly her final scene when she lashes out in anger and frustration and
sadness about the death of her grandfather.
Best Line: Don:
“Don’t stop until you see the whites of his pockets.”
Grade: C
