On this Sunday's new episode of Mad Men, Don includes Betty on a company business trip. Conrad Hilton has sent his new ad man across the country in order to learn more the hotel chain he now represents.
Meanwhile, Pete and the boys are stuck in New York.
In the clip that follow this article's jump, Campbell, Cosgrove, Kinsey and Crane talk about the city in August.
On the next episode of Mad Men, the employees of Sterling Cooper receive two bad pieces of news in the course of one announcement:
Watch a clip of this scene from "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" after the jump and remember to visit TV Fanatic every week for a full Mad Men rundown following each episode.
Last night on Mad Men, Peggy got high and Roger sang in blackface.
Sadly, it doesn't appear as though any such shenanigans will be duplicated on next week's new episode, although the police showed up at the Draper residence in the previewed scenes that aired after "My Old Kentucky Home."
On the installment titled "The Arrangements," Peggy seeks a new roommate, a rich new client is signed by Sterling Cooper and Don has an argument with his father-in-law.
Check out a scene from the hour after this article's jump.
On this week's episode of Mad Men, Betty Draper said her baby was kicking. Correction: she said her female baby was kicking.
But will the Drapers really be welcoming a daughter in the near future?
Sources tell TV Guide Magazine that the series has put out a casting call for twin boys to play the part of the newest Draper family members.
Good luck, Don. Between two existing kids, two new twins and a senile father-in-law, you may need to start drinking even earlier in the day than usual.
Don Draper may be the focus of Mad Men, but the most prominent secondary characters on this AMC hit would be Peggy Olson and Pete Campbell.
The former lovers have a child together, a fact Pete was finally informed of on the second season finale.
Will this baby ever be seen again? And what lies ahead for this duo? TV Guide spoke to Elisabeth Moss and Vincent Kartheiser to get some answers.
"I don't think [the child is] dead, and I don't think it will never come up again," Moss said. "But I think there's a lot going on and a lot to deal with, so in pure Mad Men style, we don't just leap back into things that the audience wants us to. Although things may not be as on the nose as you want them to be, her past has a huge effect on everything that she does, and you do see that in the third season."
As for the future of his character and Peggy, Kartheiser said:
"They've chosen their paths. After someone does something like that to you — they had your kid and gave it up — where do you go? I think that's something that [Mad Men creator Matt Weiner] is going to touch upon, and I think sometimes in these situations, what doesn't happen says so much more than what does."
In the most widely-circulated promotional poster for season three of Mad Men, Jon Hamm - as Don Draper, of course - is surrounded by water.
The actor says this is symbolic of where his character is at when the new season begins Sunday night.
"Those waters are rising in every possible way," Hamm told Maureen Ryan. "There are some new situations... that [Draper] has to navigate in almost every aspect of his life."
At the conclusion of last season, major changes came to Sterling Cooper, the NYC ad agency for whom Draper works. It was sold to British company, and that development is still having an effect on Draper and his colleagues again when the drama returns.
"Even to the point of lying to his wife, he is a very solitary man in many ways. When the company gets sold, part of that is taken away... It presents a lot of challenges. And I think all of our guys are starting to feel that," Hamm said.
While few spoilers have leaked out, it's generally believed that the third season of Mad Men takes place in 1963.
In TV Guide's latest Mega Buzz column, the publication reveals a couple of intriguing tidbits about a couple of fall shows.

A major secret is about to get exposed on Mad Men.
While we know very little about the third season of this Emmy-winning series - because its producers and writers want it that way - E! News has at least discovered the following nugget about the August 16 premiere:
Viewers will learn a secret about Don Draper's past, back when he was Dick Whitman. This will explain a lot about why Draper feels so disconnected from his roots.
What should fans expect on season three of Mad Men?
"I think what happens... is change. That's not just talking about the characters and the story and the arcs of all these people, it's about the culture as well," star Jon Hamm said at an AMC press event this week. "We are moving forward in time - it doesn't take place in a vacuum. The country was very much changing, and people were changing along with it."
Will Don Draper actually be loyal to wife Betty this fall?
"Well, people change and people stay the same. So I think I'll leave it with that," Hamm said.
Guess we'll need to tune in for the premiere on August 16.
