Don Draper is finally out of his extended field trip/malaise and ready to get back working… even if it’ll look fundamentally different. (Only social drinks with clients allowed? That office mini-bar will look mighty different.) However, to prep for his new life (or at least, to cope with the anxiety of its inevitable arrival) his old friend shows up. Never change Don Draper.

Much was made of Mad Men's take on Valentine’s Day, where most ended up as sad as they are in their lives as a whole. But there was a quiet love still burning and properly celebrated—these sad people and their booze. Pete cuts into a previously unseen bottle of Cutty 12, Don wakes up to ol’ reliable Canadian Club (and even uses it to sort of mark time). Happy Valentine’s Day indeed.
