When we last left Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) he was getting over an affair with the wife of a guy he knows from the commuter train. Also, Peggy needs to get her CLIO after all, Don told her once, "you will get your recognition." Pete's Quest to Get Face-Punched That said, watching her star continue to rise would be a spectacular thing. After the fake-out in Season 5 where it looked like she was leaving Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce – and possibly the show itself – Weiner promised she'll be around this season, and that's all that matters. What we want to get in Season 6: Honestly, as long as she's not written off the show, it's fine by us.
In her new, more senior role, she took over an account involving cigarettes for ladies and was last seen in Virginia, watching dogs hump outside a hotel room window while on a trip to see the tobacco plant. After years of learning the trade under Draper's wing (and taking his crap), Peggy ventured out on her own last season and went to work for one of his competitors, the slightly swarmy Ted Chaough. Last season solidified Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) as one of the most evolved and evolving characters on *Mad Men, *second only to Don, who just happens to be her mentor. (Cooper doesn't bring much to the table besides a great goatee.) Peggy's Path to World Domination And he's going to need to get it together, because with Roger Sterling and Pete Campbell having existential crises all the time, it's going to be up to him and Joan to keep SCDP afloat. What we want in Season 6: Don should probably learn about the "if you love someone, set them free" philosophy of relationships and realize he's not actually alone in the literal sense. And it's the late-1960s in New York, so second-wave feminism is go and the tides are changing, whether Roger Sterling saw it during an LSD trip or not (more on that later).
Or maybe they just realized they don't like it when they can't control them it's hard to tell. This expansion of female characters, of course, correlated to a realization amongst the lads of the show that they might actually need the women in their lives for stuff beyond sex and cooking. Peggy ventured out on her own Don's second wife Megan (mostly) stuck to her guns and pursued her acting career Joan became a partner in Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (albeit via unfortunate prostitution-related circumstances) and Sally Draper finally moved into young adulthood (and maybe outgrew her creepy relationship with former neighbor boy Glenn?). After seasons worth of *Mad'*s men carousing, cheating on their wives, treating their female colleagues like second-class citizens and globally being awful to women in general, the female characters really stepped up in Season 5.
Regardless, a fair amount of change seems to be on the horizon for the show, much like the '60s culture it depicts.
