Note: We had a technical issue with sound recording in the second half of this episode, where Jenna's phrases jumped in early and Steve's were late. We were able to edit most of them, but there are a couple of places where it sounds like Jenna is interrupting - we promise this was not the case in real time! We kept those few instances so you could hear the end of Steve's thought and the beginning of Jenna's, and apologize for the issue, as it wasn't apparent during the recording. Please believe Jenna doesn't interrupt Steve (unless he's hogging the chip and dip)!

Don and Betty's marriage has disintegrated, and Sterling Cooper is about to fold into McCann, unless Don can rally a team of talented individuals to pull off the heist of the season. This episode is a Mad Men favorite, so re-watch with us!
