《广告狂人》（Mad Men）S06E12《The Quality of Mercy》
The partners disagree on a new campaign. Don takes a day off.
Last week’s “Mad Men” delivered one of the most shocking twists of the season when Sally Draper caught her father, Don, in the act with his neighbor and mistress, Sylvia.
Can this week’s penultimate episode, titled “The Quality of Mercy,” possibly top that? From the looks of these promotional photos released by AMC, Don may be avoiding the issue entirely by burying himself in work at SC&P.
Or maybe not, if we trust the episode’s official synopsis (which is never a good idea): “The partners cannot agree on a new campaign; Don takes a day off.”
Another lingering question: How will Pete deal with Bob Benson revealing his secret crush? We’ll find out this Sunday.
《家族树》（Family Tree）S01E05《Welcome to America》
Tom arrives in Los Angeles to stay with his American cousins, Al and Kitty Chadwick (Carrie Aizley), and to discover why his great-great-grandfather Charles left for England more than a hundred years ago. Al has invited two other cousins – Rick (Matt Griesser), who also lives in California, and Dave (Christopher Guest), who’s on a road trip from North Carolina – to a family barbecue. With Rick’s girlfriend, Julie (Maria Blasucci), and Al’s neighbor, Mike (Fred Willard), rounding out the party, everyone gets to know each other a little better, and they put their heads together to figure out how the family ended up having branches in both the U.S. and England. As the drinks flow, tongues loosen, inhibitions are dropped, and ice is not the only thing that gets broken underneath the California sun.

He feels he took a big unreciprocated step forward in their relationship, and now he’s taking one backward. Wally, an 80 year old gay man with advanced liver cancer is admitted into the hospital. Thor instantly gravitates toward him. Zoey acts very professionally and rigid around Prentiss after their intimate evening. Jackie is confused by Frank’s present, a loaf of horseshoe bread. Carrie is notified there will be a peer review of her first few months of residency. She and Coop plead for her to stay, but Akalitus, Prentiss and Jackie vote against and Carrie is fired. However, after consulting a lawyer, Carrie presents the hostile and inappropriate sexual work environment she’s had to work in and Akalitus has no choice but to reinstate her residency. Wally asks Jackie to administer his last rites. When Zoey learns that Grace isn’t going to Jackie’s anniversary celebration, she rents a car and kidnaps Grace from school. Grace has a breakdown about Jackie. Jackie and Frank make up and he leaves so she can get ready for her ceremony. As she’s about to leave the house, Jackie nonchalantly takes the pill from her ring box and swallows it.
