We may finally get to see some Vietnam-related drama unfold.
Peggy (Moss) may have a big role if Vietnam comes up, considering she was dating an activist up until last week. Next Sunday's episode of Mad Men, titled "A Tale of Two Cities." is at least attempting to provoke in title alone. Whether or not it will deliver on the expectation that the themes of the episode will reflect themes of the famous book (the clashing of aristocracy and impoverished in violent revolution, amongst others) is hard to discern from the trailer below. At any rate things do not seem to be going very well over at SCDPCGC, which should make for an interesting episode. Check out the clip below.
The clip opens with a brief shot of Joan (Christina Hendricks) in her night clothes, receiving some bad news, it looks like. Between this and a few other shots in the clip, I believe we may finally get to see some Vietnam-related drama unfold. It also looks like Joan may be on the verge of admitting that her and Bob (James Wolk) are seeing each other to Peggy (Elisabeth Moss), though I'm not even sure she would know who he is.
Aside from the hints of Vietnam, the only other thing I can really pull out of this preview clip is that a client is unhappy with the company, but it's hard to tell who. I'm not sure if this would have to do with Chevy or not, but whatever it is, Ted (Kevin Rahm) doesn't seem happy about the issue, and neither does anyone else.
As the season winds down, these previews are going to get even more abstract than they already are, and most likely intentionally misleading. I'm doing my best with what I can see, but if you see anything else in the trailer, feel free to sound off in the comments. For now, we can only wait for Sunday to see what this week's Mad Men truly has in store for us.
