As we reach the midway point of Mad Men's debut season, we scale the seemingly endless staircase of embarrassment with the seventh episode of season one, Red in the Face. Roger Sterling’s dinner antics lead to unexpected fallout, while Don Draper engineers a bit of revenge that’s equal parts calculated and cringeworthy. As a special bonus, we reflect on the life, career, and legacy of David Lynch, discussing his unlikely connections to Mad Men (from influence to outright fandom). Along the way, we hand out awards for the most unforgettable characters and moments (good, bad, and awkward). Come for the oysters, stay for the chip and dip.
