One of my favorite scenes. It's all so relatable, especially if you've worked in a creative field.
The clashing of strong personalities.
The desire for recognition when you're still low(er) on the totem.
Subordinating your personal life because you can't let the work go.
Fighting and screaming at each other.
Hurt feelings.
All of it, really

One of the best quotes in the show in a long list of great quotes.
I think this scene is relatable to people in many different careers -- long hours, giving up personal time, desiring recognition when others won't give it, those with seniority taking credit, and a family that doesn’t understand. Creative careers are worse because creative ideas are often more personal.

This is one reason the show is rewatchable. Someone on Reddit posted this.
Major S5 (E12) Spoilers. If you haven’t seen Season 5, skip this.

Lane holding his neck. Mets pennant pointing at the coat and hat that resembles a hanged man. Met means “death” (or dead, dead man) in Hebrew. Composition boxes Lane in.

Can't say that I'd wanna rewatch it. But I don't regret seeing every episode for the first time.

Season 3 Episode 13.
Rewatched the episode where Lane fires everyone and they start SCDP. This may be my favorite episode in the entire series. The episode had a heist movie vibe as they scheme and set up their skeleton agency over the weekend. We get to see, one by one, who will stay on the show.
Additional fun moments:
Trudy calling Pete when he begins misbehaving during his meeting with SCDP. (He doesn't go to her.)
Paul Kinsey's reaction when he realizes he was left behind is priceless. He did it to himself by being (an annoying and pompous try hard) and failing to write that idea down before his big meeting with Don and Peggy.

Last year in the summer is when I binged on all episodes for my first time.

My 1965 copy of the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book" that looks similar to what gets shown on "Mad Men" in season 4, episode 2.

@StarryEyedDreamer - What a dream!!!!! That’s a really nice copy. I learned to cook with that book. I’ve been cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc, since I was 7 or 8.
I saw a copy in a used book store last year for only $5 and... did NOT buy it. I'm kicking myself. I knew it was a bargain, but I didn't feel like buying anything. (They sell for $$$ online.) I have a paperback version from the 90s, but it isn't the same. I have no use for most of them now because my diet doesn’t align with ¾ of the book, but I still miss having it on my shelf.
My grandmother also had a similar BHaG gardening book. (Pics from internet, not mine.)

Since the age of 8, I've been cooking. The conclusion was that I'm very picky at liking food. Which is why I cooked food on my own.
Despite being organized, I hate cleaning, especially clothes. I started cleaning a few years after being 8.
Paperback books are not that efficient. Ringbound books have pages that stay flat. You don't need to have extra material that holds them down.
My diet consists of protein milkshakes, multivitamin pills, collagen pills, vegetables, cake, sushi, cookies, the traditional spaghetti and meatballs on my birthday, etc.
Your grandmother's "Better Homes and Gardens Garden Book" is great if that's what she had. As a bookworm, I've sought out many different books. Finding what your grandmother read was worth it. I wish it was digitally saved on Archive.org. I'm probably going to invest in a digital scanner that archives my 1965 "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book" in PDF format on Archive.org.
