Mad Men Deep Secrets: Dive In!

Don in his office, ad campaigns swirling about in his genius head.

Don Draper is a soldier who was killed in Korea during an ambush. His name and identity were stolen by Dick Whitman. He is able to do this because Don's body was unrecognizable after the explosion so switching dog tags was all he needed to do. Don Draper is an imposter and it haunts him throughout the series in flashbacks and paranoia. Deep.

Don Draper is Dick Whitman.

Who is Don Draper?

Megan singing at Don's birthday party as the party guests marvel at her sensual rendition of Zou Bisou Bisou.

Megan dreams of becoming a TV star

This is Megan Draper, Don's second wife and new bride. She has several talents. What is her passion?

Peggy and Pete have a one night stand which brings an unwanted child into Peggy's life. She keeps the birth a secret and gives the child to her mother to raise.  
Roger and Joan have been intimate many times but on this occasion, when walking through Manhattan they are mugged at gunpoint, after which, in the heat of the moment, they duck into an alley for a quickie. A child is later born but Joan is married to another man so she convinces him that Roger's child is his. Deep.

Peggy and Pete. Roger and Joan.

Which two sets of characters had affairs that spawned illegitimate children?

Years of heavy (and very sensual) cigarette smoking finally catch up to Betty, or Birdie, as Don calls her when he sees she is in peril. Deep.

Betty learns she has lung cancer in the final season.

Betty Draper is diagnosed with what illness?

Don and Megan in Don's office, each thinking of... well, you know - not work!

Megan begins in the agency typing pool but is soon moved to Don's desk as a replacement for his usual secretary Miss Blankenship, who dies suddenly of a heart attack while sitting at her desk. Deep.

Megan replaces Don's previous secretary, Miss Blankenship, who died on the job.

What event causes Don and Megan to meet?

Roger and Don at a table in a restaurant getting lit and reminiscing.

Don is working in a coat store and is very persuasive when pitching a coat to Roger. Roger is impressed by his ability to sway Roger into buying a ridiculously over-priced coat. He offers Don a job as a copywriter at his agency. Deep.

Don is working as a furrier selling mink coats at a high-end coat store.

Roger Sterling takes credit for "discovering" the great Don Draper. Where is Don working when Roger offers him a position at the agency?

Roger has a mind altering experience after dropping LSD at a swank LA party, after which he sees everything much differently, including his new wife, whom he quickly leaves. She says to him as he is leaving, "I can't believe you're leaving me." To which he replies, "I'm not leaving you, we;re leaving each other." Deep.

Roger Sterling takes a trip!

Cigarettes play a major roll in the nuance of Mad Men. But that buzz wasn't enough for one character who experimented with LSD. Who?

Ken Cosgrove sporting his newest wardrobe accessory: the eye patch.

Ken Cosgrove goes to great lengths to secure a new client. He loses his eye in a hunting accident with executives from Chevy and is seen from then on wearing an eye patch. Deep.

How does Cosgrove lose his eye?

Layne sitting in the vehicle (animated GIF).

Layne attempts his first suicide by connecting a hose from the tailpipe to the window of his new Jaguar XK. His attempt is a failure due to the fact that the Jag won't start! Deep.

Death by Jag!

After having been caught embezzling from the agency, Layne Pryce commits suicide in one episode by hanging himself in his office, but that was his second attempt. His first attempt involved a car. Can you name the make?

Toasting to a new beginning. It will be tumultuous (but worth it!)

Roger and Megan Draper's mother Marie, share some of the steamiest and most provocative scenes in the show as their on-again, off-again affair blossoms into a full-fledged romance. Marie, after writing Roger off as an uncaring bastard (her words), comes back to him after she sees how much he cared for Megan when Don left her and she was heartbroken. Deep.

Roger and Marie

Roger's steamy on-again, off-again relationship with this woman is his last fling. Who is she?

By this time, Don Draper has all but left the agency, now owned by its long-time competitor. He has run away to California to find a new life but advertising is in his blood. Don dreams up the groundbreaking TV ad for Coke while meditating at a hippie commune perched on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. Super Deep.

Don hears, "I'd like to teach the world to sing," in his mind while meditating.

BONUS QUESTION: Don is conjuring up his most successful ad campaign during this final scene of the show (although he doesn't consciously know it). Can you name it?

Stephanie Courtney plays Marge, the consummate switchboard operator. Deep.

Flo from Progressive and Marge from Mad Men

DOUBLE BONUS: Most of us know this actress as Flo, from the Progressive insurance ads. She appeared on Mad Men in what role?

Not bad. These were hard questions. Martini time! Just one though, you've got ads to write!

You are golden! These were hard questions. Double Martini and a carton of Luckies to you! The bar is open and the drinks are on the house!
