The boys' raucous laughter is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Pete Campbell's wife, Trudy, who has found what she believes to be the perfect apartment for the newlyweds.
2. Pete Campbell's new wife Trudy finds a Park Avenue apartment that she likes. What price does she think the sellers will take?

Answer: $30,000

In the 21st Century, it might be difficult to find a Park Avenue apartment for less than a million dollars. "Mad Men" is set in the early 1960s and advertising hot-shot Pete Campbell earns $75 a week. He laments to Trudy that a year's salary wouldn't even make a down payment on a $30,000 apartment.

Answer: Man banging on the front door

While taking the new family dog Polly for a stroll, Betty sees a man pounding on her neighbor's door yelling, "Helen! Open the door!" He then asks to borrow Betty's telephone, but Betty wisely refuses the request.
4. Pete Campbell's father refuses his son's request for financial assistance to purchase a new apartment. What does Andrew Campbell claim to have already given his son?

Answer: Name

The elder Mr. Campbell is unimpressed with his son's chosen career, as he deems it to be nothing more than "wining and dining".

5. Just as Don Draper is about to convince a skeptical client to go with his idea for an ad campaign, Pete Campbell interrupts, and offers to come up with something new. What product does this client produce?

Answer: Steel

Don is just about to convince a reluctant corporate executive to go with the concept of "New York City, brought to you by Bethlehem Steel", when Pete Campbell interrupts the presentation. As the meeting breaks up, a very irritated Don Draper tells Pete, "You do your job. Take him sailing, get him into a bathing suit. And leave the ideas to me."
6. Helen Bishop's baby sitter calls and cancels, so she is forced to ask her new neighbor Betty Draper to look after her two children. Where does Helen need to go?

8. What does Don Draper do when he discovers that Pete Campbell has come up with an independent idea that pleases a difficult client?

Answer: Fires Campbell

Later, senior partner Bertram Cooper summons Roger and Don to his office and informs them they cannot get rid of Pete as he is from a very wealthy and influential family. Roger and Don then find Pete drinking alone in his office and intentionally misinform him that while Roger and Bertram wanted him fired, Don decided to give him another chance.
