Complete story — includes the ending
After winning a Clio Award for the Glo-Coat ad, an inebriated Don attends a meeting with Quaker Oats executives and inadvertently pitches a slogan for Life cereal that came from Jane's dimwitted cousin Danny, who had applied for a job. After Peggy persuades him to make things right, Don attempts to buy the slogan from Danny, but he refuses the money and insists on having a job, forcing Don to hire him. Peggy secludes herself in a hotel room with the firm's new artistic director Stan Rizzo in order to complete a campaign. Pete is upset to learn that Lane has hired Ken to join SCDP. He ultimately agrees to accept Ken's hiring, on the condition that Ken pays due respect to Pete's rank at SCDP. Roger dictates his memoirs and recounts how he met Don as a fur salesman in 1953. In flashbacks, Don discovers that Roger works in advertising and hounds him for a job at Sterling Cooper. Despite trying to blow him off, Roger agrees to go out with him for drinks. The next day, Don arrives at the lobby and claims that Roger had hired him; a puzzled Roger has no memory of what really happened.
