The Wheel (Mad Men)

"The Wheel" is the thirteenth and final episode of the first season of the American television drama series Mad Men.

Repeatedly ordered by Peggy to speak with more confidence, Annie eventually gets overwhelmed and starts to cry.

Don sits in his office, trying to think of ideas for Kodak's new projector, dubbed the "Wheel", and he starts to reminisce on a picture of him and his brother Adam.

Later Betty goes to see her psychiatrist and she speaks about how much it has helped her and how she has her doubts about Don and him being faithful.

After Don wins over Kodak, he makes Peggy a junior copywriter, and she gets a shared office.

[1] Andrew Johnston wrote for Slant Magazine that he liked how the series brought Glen Bishop back to have a scene with Betty.

Club that his favorite scene from the season was Don's pitch of "The Carousel" to Kodak.

Don's pitch focuses around how even though advertising is fairly new, it uses nostalgia to sell products.

He writes that "It's at once a classic TV drama with a sense of retro style and a sophisticated one in look and tone, on the cutting edge of elliptical television storytelling in the same manner as The Sopranos and The Wire".

[3] Matthew Weiner and Robin Veith received a nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.
