Comments

• In the production section of the article, what's the need for paragraphs 2,3, and 4? Those paragraphs sound like they should be in the plot section of the article. Please clarify for me.

• "Cast member John Slattery, who portrays Roger Sterling on the series, directed the episode, the third time he has directed for the series" needs a reference.

I have fixed all the other minor problems within the article and the two points mentioned above are the only things that need to be addressed. The article will be on hold for 7 days. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message here or on my talk page.--Dom497 (talk) 15:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

The paragraphs in production is, for the most, information from the "Inside Mad Men" featurettes on AMC.com, which gives the writers and actors time to elaborate on matters such as character motivation and the thematic material for the episode; matters relating to the creative process of the episode. Not much of those lines would fit in plot, though they do recount some matter of plot to put those lines in context. I provided a reference, as well.

I see know. Thanks for clarifying! I have passed the article.--Dom497 (talk) 19:30, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
