Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency
"Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American television drama series Mad Men, and the 32nd overall episode of the series. It was written by series creator and executive producer Matthew Weiner and Robin Veith, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. It originally aired on the AMC channel in the United States on September 20, 2009.
The employees of Sterling Cooper prepare for an upcoming visit from the British owners of the company. Joan discovers some deeply unsettling news as she prepares for her last day in the office. During the visit, a lawnmower accident changes the life and career of one man forever. Meanwhile, Sally is having trouble adjusting to life with Baby Gene and without her grandfather.
"Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" is considered by some as one of the best episodes of Mad Men. It was recognized with nominations and wins from industry awards. The director of the episode, Lesli Linka Glatter, won a 2009 Directors Guild Awards for her work on the episode. The episode was also nominated for writing and directing at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
The name of this episode mirrors the name of an episode of The Sopranos, "Guy Walks into a Psychiatrist's Office...", a series on which Mad Men creator, Matthew Weiner, was a writer.
Mr. Hooker announces, flanked by the partners, to the Sterling Cooper employees that the office will soon receive a visit from their British owners, Putnam, Powell & Lowe. The staff are dismayed, as they were supposed to be closed for the July 4th holiday, and the visit will overlap with Joan's last day. After the announcement, Ken Cosgrove enters riding a John Deere lawnmower and reveals he's won their business.
Bert speculates that the British are interested in promoting Don and bringing him back to London, noting PPL's fascination with Don. Bert also insists Don and Roger get a shave together to diffuse the lingering tension between them over Roger's marriage to Jane and his selling the company. At the barber's shop, the two agree to put their disagreements behind them.
Joan prepares a celebratory dinner for Greg, anticipating his promotion to Chief Resident, but he comes home late and drunk. He reveals he didn't get the promotion and tells Joan she can't leave her job. When she tells him it's not possible, he tells her to get another one.
The PPL partners, St. John Powell (Charles Shaughnessy) and Harold Ford (Neil Dickson) arrive with charming, handsome account man Guy MacKendrick (Jamie Thomas King). They tour the office and meet with the Sterling Cooper partners. Guy reveals he is the source of PPL's fascination with Don, dashing the idea that Don could be brought to London. Powell and Ford then meet privately with Lane and compliment him on his success at Sterling Cooper, then abruptly tell him they're now sending him to Bombay to do similar work. Lane is visibly frustrated, having only just settled in New York.
