Season 7 of Mad Men, the final season consisting of 14 episodes, will be split into two parts, "The Beginning" and "The End of an Era," airing in 2014 and spring 2015, respectively, as a farewell to both new and longtime viewers who have accompanied Mad Men for eight years. At the end of Mad Men Season 6, the debauched and indiscreet private life of advertising prodigy Don Draper, a man burdened by a huge lie who constantly numbs himself with alcohol and affairs in search of psychological compensation, is caught and exposed by his daughter Sally, and his marriage to his second wife, Megan, again develops a huge rift. Waves of nightmarish memories from his upbringing and the changed faces of his colleagues fill Don Draper with revulsion and exhaustion toward the advertising industry, with its hypocritical relationships, and toward middle-class society as a whole. Longing to "cleanse" himself, Don breaks down at an SCDP client meeting and confesses his origins, making the client feel humiliated. The SCDP partners dismiss Don in the company's interest, and his position is taken over by Peggy, his former protege whom he had promoted and who is now a dominant talent in advertising. The 1970s, gripped by war, social movements, and unrest and making everyone uneasy, are slowly approaching. In this era of women's advancement, will Peggy choose to strike out on her own? After confronting the wounds revealed within him and decisively leaving the hypocritical advertising industry, full of sweet lies, that he helped create, how will Don continue his life? In this tumultuous era, how will their fates ultimately draw to a close?
