This is a tense unboxing video! Betty finally opens the desk drawer in Don's home office, but he's too busy with Suzanne to come home for a confrontation about it.

Mad Men C to Z Timestamps for S3E10: The Color Blue 00:00 Introduction 00:59 "Why don't we go to church every Sunday?" "We don't need to go every week." Carla, Betty, and the kids discuss their day, but avoid discussing core beliefs. Don says he won't be sleeping at home tonight, blaming Conrad Hilton. 02:52 Date Nut Bread and The Color Blue Shockingly, Don lied and goes to Suzanne's, while Betty is home alone with a glass of wine. 11:04 40th Anniversary of Sterling Cooper and Aqua Net - Arrive in Style Paul Kinsey sets up a double date skit, and Peggy improves it off the top of her head 15:15 "We finally have the answer to the question, 'What makes Don Draper smile?' " Lane gives Don his $5,000 signing bonus 16:20 "I don't need you to put your little swirl on top of my idea." You kind of do, though, Paul. Little bit. 21:01 "It's not London. It's not even England." Rebecca Pryce hasn't warmed to New York, unlike her husband 24:33 "He's arrogant. His plans were interrupted."

When you have romantic entanglements outside your marriage and you get a mystery call on the landline, things get awkward. 33:25 Paul Kinsey stays late and sets up his ideal work conditions for Western Union. Paul Kinsey theatre, indeed. 34:50 Don leaves his key in his robe, and that's not a euphemism 35:19 "Achilles, I have thought of something very, very good." If it takes stealing someone else's food from the work room fridge, it will have been worth it. 37:50 There and back again - the journey of the office desk drawer key 38:23 My baby takes the morning train, so I show up to ride along Don seems in love enough to forgive Suzanne's indiscretion 44:55 "It's always the last place you look." Lois offers platitudes while Paul self-destructs, looking for last night's great idea 46:29 After 40 years, Sterling Cooper is for sale. Party on, Lane. 49:15 "If you're going to call me, call me. I'm not playing a game here." Henry is an unlikely candidate for calling and hanging up, but Betty checks, just in case. 52:21 "Who told you I was vain?" Lane convinces Bert to attend the party, without seeming too desperate or revealing his secret. 53:40 Worst unboxing moment ever The triumph of finally finding the key to the desk drawer Betty's been rattling for years is overshadowed by photos, the deed to a house in California, and a divorce decree that precedes their marriage by mere months. 57:25 Don attempts to take Danny to New Bedford This time, he gives his card - not just the money 1:04:37 We were going to have an epic confrontation, but you never came home 1:07:34 "I want to show you off, Betts." 1:10:06 "The faintest ink is better than the best memory." Peggy and Don empathize when Paul admits he lost his idea. 1:15:57 "Look how pretty Mommy is." Pre-party taxicab conversations, and a lot of applause for the man with the lies 1:26:31 Episode wrap-up and listener shout-out | |||

I drove past your exit a dozen times." 49:04 This Lucky Strike meeting is somehow worse than the one when Roger had a heart attack 50:51 Every time we watch, we hope this scene goes differently 1:00:50 Don, we're hosting a fundraiser 1:02:26 "Good night, boss." 1:03:03 Let's have a fundraiser 1:03:37 "How do you say fresh towels in Farsi? Hilton." But the lesser bully wanted the moon. 1:09:03 "I'm actually the person who briefs Mr. Francis." When the guest speaker takes the fun out of your fundraiser 1:15:52 "What do you think accounts does? Besides limit your brilliance." "I'd tell you, but I don't want to hurt your feelings." 1:17:41 "Maybe it's not supposed to happen right now." 1:21:18 Sal has a genuine conversation with Kitty and lives happily ever after with Elliot from Belle Jolie. He definitely doesn't just call Kitty from a pay phone near Central Park. And he starts his own firm, "where copy follows art, not the other way round," and gets everything he ever wanted. That's what should have happened. 1:22:33 "You only want this because I'm new and different. I know how this ends." 1:24:12 Closing song, Episode Wrap-up, and Listener Shout-out | |||

Betty has hired an interior decorator to re-do her living room. 03:24 "I watched the sunrise this morning." "How was it?" "Average." Roger is unimpressed with nature, likely because he's jealous of David Ogilvy. 05:35 "Having me in your life is gonna change things." "I look forward to it." Conrad Hilton surprises Don in the office. 10:26 "I may know someone in the governor's office. His name is Henry." Betty meets with the Junior League and name drops the guy from Roger's garden party. 11:45 "I know Roger will be the face of this, but I wouldn't mind doing the legwork." Pete finds a way to ask Don for work advances without attempted bribery 15:57 "I just realized everyone who calls you must want something." Betty calls Henry's office, and he returns the call immediately 20:14 "Stop barging in here and infecting me with your anxiety." Pete insists Peggy return Duck's gift - that he only wants to injure Don by enticing them to leave 23:15 "This is the way it has to be. Not just for Conrad Hilton, but for Sterling Cooper." Don's lack of a contract becomes a meeting 27:41 "I'm a lawyer, but I don't use it much." "We all have skills we don't use." Betty and Henry meet at a bakery. She doesn't pull out her Italian, but she did major in anthropology. 29:15 "Why can't you stare into the eclipse, anyway? What's it gonna do, really?" Carlton shares his lack of astronomical awareness and Miss Farrell's running habits with Don 30:59 "Victorian ladies would get overwhelmed and need a place to lie down." Betty and Henry see a fainting couch in a furniture store window 32:41 "You're all the same. The drinking, the philandering." Miss Farrell calls Don out for flirting, which he denies 36:46 "Grunt once for yes." Roger applies pressure to make Don sign his contract. 39:20 "You're good. Get better. Stop asking for things. Close the door." Don excels at mentorship and manners. 41:41 "Honestly, I find it terribly disrespectful that you would go behind his back," Betty tells Roger on the phone, after returning from the lunch she had with Henry, behind Don's back 42:50 "I was just thinking about all the times I walked by you and didn't even notice." "Oh." "How is that possible?" The nicest thing we can say about Duck is that at least he's not Pete. 46:18 "It's three years, Don.
