1. The episode begins with two Sterling Cooper employees having office sex early one morning. Who is the romantic couple?

Answer: Peggy and Pete

Pete and Peggy had unexpectedly found themselves alone at the agency one morning. They passionately make love on the sofa in Pete's office as a janitor notices the amorous silhouettes through the office window.
2. One of the participants in a passionate office session sustains what damage to an article of clothing?

3. To which Mad Man does Lois, the new switchboard operator, have a romantic attraction?

Answer: Sal

Lois Sadler becomes attracted to Sal after listening in on his conversations with his mother in Italian. She accidentally-on-purpose wanders into Sal's art department, then asks him for directions back to the switchboard. Lois departs with a casual, "Ciao ciao."
4. Don Draper is nervous about being unexpectedly summoned to Bertran Cooper's office. What happens at the meeting?

Answer: Don receives a bonus

Don is surprised and pleased when the senior partner gives him a check for $2500, which in the early 1960s was a small fortune. Cooper recognizes Don's value to the agency and says, "I believe we are alike. You are a productive and reasonable man, and in the end, completely self interested." Cooper then points to a nearby book and suggests that Don read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.
5. What catchphrase do the Mad Men come up with to market Belle Jolie lipstick?

Answer: Mark Your Man

One of the lipstick executives was not sold on Don Draper's presentation because it didn't mention that Belle Jolie has a larger color selection than their competitors. Don reminds him that, "You've already tried your plan, and you're No. 4."
6. Who does Salvatore Romano meet at a bar?

Answer: Elliot Lawrence

As they discuss life in New York City while sitting at the Roosevelt Hotel bar, the sexual tension between the two men rises as Elliot takes a drink from Sal's glass. Sal declines an invitation to see the city from Elliot's bedroom, explaining, "I know what I want to do."
7. To where does Don Draper invite his mistress Midge?

Answer: Paris

Don leaves his office with his $2500 bonus check and goes directly to Midge's apartment. "Pack a bag. We're going to Paris", he offers as she opens the door. With her beatnik friend Roy sitting on a sofa-bed she turns down his invitation, preferring to smoke pot and listen to jazz music on a record player. Slightly irritated, Don joins the couple and takes a puff of a joint.
8. Don Draper has a flashback to his boyhood on a farm. What was his name then?

Answer: Dick

Don's flashback reveals that his name used to be Dick Whitman, and that his mother, a prostitute, died in childbirth. He was raised by his father, Archie, and stepmother, Abigail.
9. What hobo code symbol is left on the front of Don's boyhood home?

Answer: Dishonest man

A hobo stops at the Whitman farm and asks if he can work for a meal. After dinner Mrs. Whitman offers the man a coin, but Mr. Whitman picks it up and tells the hobo that he will give it to him later. Mr. Whitman keeps the coin for himself, so, as the hobo leaves he chalk marks the front of the house with the symbol for "dishonest man".
10. How does Don discover that Midge and Roy are in love?

Answer: A photograph

After Don takes a Polaroid picture of Midge and Roy, he realizes after studying it that they are in love. This is a photographic feat that he tries to achieve with models at the ad agency. Don again asks Midge to go with him to Paris, and when she refuses, he endorses his $2500 bonus check and sticks it in her bra.
