Mad Men is a show about themes and characters. Not so much about plot. The action tends to be slow and usually subtle, with pieces moving into place over time. Recapping the show can make it sound like a soap opera, and it’s much more than that. Yet in all reviews of Mad Men, there will be substantial spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the episode yet, you’ve been warned.
After the set-up in the season opener, “Out of Town,” this third season’s theme of change kicked into gear in “Love Among the Ruins.” But that change is tempered by confusion, and ever shadowed by the overhang of the past.
The episode, named after a Robert Browning poem about the ruins of a once great capital and the need to choose love over passing glory, starts off with a big dose of the coming ’60s sexual energy and closes with a reverie about finding peace through touching the earth, followed by a brief coda of mentor Don Draper and protege Peggy Olsen working together.
