This weeks episode was so good but i have to say there where a lot of stupid jokes being made. For me the episode is so good because it has so much information and dialogue between the characters. However to me some of the jokes went to far, but it was still good but it shows the personality of the men making the jokes.
Episode six begins Don making breakfast and while taking it to Betty for Mothers day. However, Don slips on the stairs and hits his head, which causes him to have a flashback to the day his brother Adam was born. Don and his younger self seem to looking to each other the whole time. It's showing how much Adams visit in the last episode is affecting Don. Right after the nurse asks do you want to see your brother younger dick says "hes not my brother" and Don comes out of his flashback. Betty and the kids come to check on Don and all he does is laugh and says happy Mother's Day. The episode continues with Don and Betty's discussion of a book. This causes Betty to revisit her mother's death. For the first time you see Don being a loving supportive husband unlike previous episodes. But we see Don waving away Betty's mood, by saying that "mourning is just extended self-pity" and then bringing up a the tribe he reads about them brewing their ancestors' ashes into beer.
Later we see the Sterling Cooper's office. the focus shifts to Roger Sterling. Sterling's wife, Mona is in the office and makes a joke about how her husband's grey hair makes him look older than he is. We see how Joan react to Sterlings family. We see Joan and Sterling's family at the office, followed by the the viewers seeing the revelation of Sterling's affair Joan. We find about this crazy affair after Mona leaves the office for lunch. Ot flashes to sterling getting redressed and then Joan was out and is fixing her clothing. we also see Joan accepting her life as a mistress. what is strange to me is her remark here about how "food that close to a bed reminds me of a hospital" this hints to events which may have shaped her. When Joan tells Roger that she knows as much about men as he does about advertising, she's incriminating herself in light of how Sterling's insight into the business has been another source of many of the series' best lines in Don's bedroom scene with Betty earlier, there's a jokey reference to women as the equivalent of cars that can be traded in for new models. While that's unfortunately true where the wives and mistresses of the rich and powerful are concerned, the wisecrack is undercut by Joan's frank description of the sense of power she derives from stringing along multiple sugar daddies. Joan is hardly the only woman who enjoys a significant amount of control over the men in their lives. W also see how Joan is quite happy being a mistress and says that it will only last until she is married and finds someone to marry. We soon see the return of Rachel Mencken and Don asks for her unvarnished insights into the Israeli mind frame. Its a bad excuse to have lunch with her, and we see Don is still attracted to her. Rachel is smart and she keeps the upper hand throughout the lunch both because she has knowledge Don wants her because she plays her emotional cards so close. This leads to a scene where she reveals her feelings for Don in a phone conversation with her sister. The scene ends with an assessment of the social rules. And finally with Rachel's sister saying "It's 1960, we don't live in a shtetl, we can marry for love," her response is "I'm not sure people do that anymore." Sterling Cooper secretaries serve as an impromptu lipstick focus group while the men literally watch from the peanut gallery. One secretary's bleating remark that brainstorming sounds like something difficult is inches over the foul line—it's hard to believe that any woman could have such a low opinion of her faculties when she's got the example of Joan walking around in front of her daily. Joan's manipulation and whit of the focus group and titillation of Roger through the glass marks another display of her power, which we soon learn is something she guards jealously when we see her patronizing Peggy when relaying the message that Fred Rumsen about his intrigue by Peggy's potential as a copywriter. At first glance, Rumson seems like he might be the biggest lush at Sterling Cooper, but he's soon revealed as someone whose clear-eyed view of the business rivals that of Roger Sterling. Rumsen's puts-down of Ken, the way he uses one of Salvatore's snarky quips as the jumping-off point for an impassioned—and convincing—explanation of why Peggy might be an advertising natural. Ken again gilds the lily by ending with Rumsen's too-far-over-the-top observation that observing Peggy's insight. Once the office scene is over it switches over to Don going to Midge's. Where Don and Roy have words. Roy is the bohemian poseur with whom Midge is apparently also involved. Midge displays her power by goading the two, then sitting back and watching a fight begin to brew. Joan's power at the office and in the boudoir means little if she can't be seen with Roger in public. And while the liaison may provide Roger with relief from a miserable marriage, the inherent nature of the relationship means that relief will forever be superficial and will not last long. We also see how upset Don gets when he is challenged. We see how Don realizes Midge and Roy are "in love." The episode ends with an angry Don leaving Midges apartment.
For me I saw the theme of adults, smoking, and drinking continue. I did also see the lies intertwine i saw how one lie leads to another. I feel it is so crazy how the women accept being the mistresses and know it won't last forever. I saw how the women also choose to be the mistresses and chase after thee men who are married. I know it's not just the women the men should keep their vows they made to their wives. For the theme of adultery we see how midge is with Don, whose, married to Betty, but really wants to be with Rachel. We also see Sterling's mistress Joan interact with Sterling's wife Mona like they're friends. As for smoking everyone in this show are chai smokers. Everyone drinks in this show and drink at every opportunity. I just wonder with all the cheating on each other what would happen if a mistress would get pregnant? How would the men react? He would the women react?
Scripture against it 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 which says “don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." This isn’t a specific command or warning against not smoking or drinking but is says we are to treat our body like the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are to treat our bodies with respect because of the Holy Spirit living within us. Also for the Ten Commandments is in Exodus and the Ten Commandments.
