Last week on Mad Men, Sally's grief over her grandfather's sudden death manifested in some bad school behavior, Betty gave birth to her third child, Duck took a dramatic turn while the British owners' approach to overseeing their merger came to the forefront.

The employees of Sterling Cooper have a lot on their plate this week because aside from dealing with their usual work loads, they're also getting a surprising announcement. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of news that they'd want to hear, especially with the Fourth of July holiday coming up.



Lane Pryce and his assistant John Hooker break the bad news that the British CEO is coming in for a friendly visit to evaluate Sterling Cooper's staff, and you can immediately hear the entire office groaning. While that alone is difficult to take, the employees are tasked to prepare for the visit without interrupting their daily routine. Worst of all, they are forced to come in on a holiday.

Meanwhile, something is spooking Sally. Could it be the ghost of Grandpa Gene? Joan, on the other hand, receives some unexpected news. Could she be expecting a child?
