Season 7b, episode 14: “Person to Person.” Originally aired May 17th, 2015.
Now this is from my other all-time favorite Mad Men scene. No surprise that it is another Peggy-Don one, as their scenes (particularly toward the end of the show’s run) became increasingly personal in nature and thus, more emotional and more consequential. With the delivery of this tearful question, Don is affronted with his life, playing like a mini-movie in his mind. He shares with Peggy (what he feels are) his shortcomings in the last on-screen moment that connects Don to his life in New York. You can almost feel your heart breaking after each word. Sigh.
