"This was," says Sonia Soraiya, "a fist-pumping, couch-yelling, joyous-whooping episode of Mad Men (http://www.tvinsider.com/article/1642/orlando-jones-exiting-sleepy-hollow/)—or at least it was from halfway through on toward the end. After a parade of indignities for both Peggy (http://www.gq.com/style/blogs/the-gq-eye/2015/05/peggy-olson-mad-men-office-season-seven.html) and Joan (http://www.vox.com/2015/5/4/8543687/mad-men-lost-horizon-joan)—indignities that deliberately recall the struggle they both endured to carve out a place for themselves at Sterling Cooper & Partners—the back half of the episode is all spice and glory, a little bit of justice, a little bit of not-giving-a-f*ck."

SPOILER ALERT!! What happened to Joan made me sick. I always wanted to see her do more in the series anyway, and this week's episode was good, but also disappointing and it made me angry.
