The "Mad Men" Likability Index: Megan Has A Dream

And Don will reluctantly let her follow it. No more baked beans for her unless she's cooking them for dinner!

Did last night's episode feel like filler to anyone else? So far this season, Pete tried to sleep with a high schooler, Don and Megan had a violent chase-fight around their apartment, and Sally walked in on Roger receiving a blow job from Megan's mom. So last night's episode was like a Friday night home with the Netflix, as opposed to the all-out ragers we've been delivered all season. But anyway, that made most people more likable than usual! Onto the Likability Index.

Megan

Noticeably unfulfilled by her Heinz baked beans win last week, Megan decides to quit this week to become an actress (slash housewife)! She even sneaks off after work to audition for a play, lying to Don about going out for drinks with friends, and to Peggy about going for dinner with Don. On the one hand, lying is bad, but on the other, could she have lied about something more innocent? Her decision to quit work with Don to try her hand at theater makes her a lot more likable, I think because she always seemed like a huge attention-seeker, from her drag queen night makeup to her embarrassing-but-maybe-not "bisous bisous" song-and-dance number in the season's first episode. Anyway, best of luck Megan! When there's not a play that needs to be acted, there's probably always a thick cut of meet that needs to be cooked so Don can eat it.
Likability score: 86%
