Don seeks revenge through a lavish lunch, while Pete tries to exchange a wedding gift and defend his conception of masculinity.

It's an All Things Mad Men: From Chip & Dip to Zou Bisou bonus episode, where we play a game to come up with Mad Men characters for various scenarios. The catch?

Tell us your choices at www.MadMenCtoZ - we look forward to sharing them on a future episode.
