The log­line for ‘Out of Town’ — Changes at Ster­ling Cooper affect Pete and Ken. Don and Sal go on a busi­ness trip.

It surely was an intrigu­ing episode to set the tone for the sea­son and the that pre­view cer­tainly didn’t help unravel the impend­ing episodes story at all.

’Out of Town’
Don Draper asks a sim­ple ques­tion…

Don and Sal­va­tore visit to Bal­ti­more was quite an intrigu­ing ‘ordeal’, I love the fact that Sal­va­tore was almost expect­ing Don to ask him about his sex­ual pref­er­ences. Unfor­tu­nately the future does not look bright for Betty, as Don con­tin­ues his own sex­ual escapades. At the same time, women espe­cially wives dur­ing that period were prob­a­bly just resigned to the fact that their hus­bands ruled the roost.

Ken Cos­grove (played by Aaron Sta­ton), and Pete Camp­bell (Vin­cent Kartheiser) both get pro­moted, what a laugh that was. This has the pos­si­bil­ity to brew over the entire sea­son, with will one of them per­haps being fired by the end? I can only see Pete Camp­bell get­ting his way up the lad­der, although Ken is just this down­right nice guy would be sad to see him go. Def­i­nitely an inter­est­ing prospect to see develop over the next few episodes.

The British char­ac­ters, Lane Pryce (Jared Har­ris) and John Hooker (Ryan Cartwright) are peo­ple to watch out for, their cama­raderie (as coun­try­men I’m guess­ing) is a lit­tle unset­tling. Over­all this episode bodes well for Sea­son 3, with a few sto­ry­lines devel­op­ing and a cou­ple that are yet to be seen. I would have to rate this a four of five stars.
