What's your favorite episode of Mad Men?

My favorite would have to be from season 3 (though not a fan favorite) "Love Among the Ruins" Why? because at the surface you think its another episode about family and Peggy hating on Ann-Margaret. But I think its about Aging and Love - its subtle because you have Don trying to please a very Pregnant Betty by having his father in law live with him (saving his marriage for one of the last times after he disrespected Betty in Season 2 by disappearing and stepping out). Then you have Peggy beginning to realize that small talk can attract the boys (when done right like Joan), then we have Betty's realization that despite her difficult relationship with her Father - "Marrying that Joker" that as an adult child she must step in and out all the differences aside and take care of him as a dutiful daughter. Oh and the campaign to demolish Penn Station (its old and decayed) and must be replaced by a shiny new station that we will love because its new".
My second favorite would be from Season 1 Red in the Face. A classic.
