- TriviaIt cost the producers of "Mad Men" $250,000 for the use in this episode of The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows."
- GoofsSeveral times references are made to a photograph of the Earth as taken from space. This episode was set in October 1966. It is true that the first photograph in which the Earth can be seen is a shot taken from NASA's Lunar Orbiter 1 and published on the front page of the New York Times on August 27, 1966. However, they are not referring to the right photo. When Beth is in bed with Pete, she describes his eyes as being the same color blue as the Earth and that the Earth looks like an isolated tiny ball. The 1966 photo was black and white. Color photographs of the Earth weren't available until taken by the DODGE satellite in September 1967, so Beth could not have made the color comparison. From the verbal descriptions, they are clearly describing the iconic photo "Earthrise" which was taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft on December 24, 1968 - two years later.
- Quotes
Peggy Olson: [On the phone] Hello.
Don Draper: It's me. Is Megan there?
Peggy Olson: Isn't she with you?
Don Draper: Yes, we're playing a hilarious joke on you.
Peggy Olson: She left a while ago to meet you at the restaurant.
Don Draper: When?
Peggy Olson: I don't know, after you called.
Don Draper: I didn't call.
Peggy Olson: Oh. Well, she must be at home.
Don Draper: I'm at home.
Peggy Olson: Maybe she went to the restaurant and missed you and now she's on her way home - I don't know where she is. Do you know where Abe is?
Don Draper: Goodbye Peggy.

Then when Pete goes to the girl's house, where his subway friend lives, it's supposed to be suspenseful, like he might get caught, but since the guy has hardly been on the series, why would it even matter? They're basically putting priority on two characters that mean nothing to the show and putting them in with Pete... it's like when a show attempts a spinoff or something...
And as a lifelong fan of The Beatles Revolver, why on earth would Megan tell Don to play the most insanely psychedelic song? I can think of other brilliant songs from that album that he might have enjoyed, such as Eleanor Rigby or Taxman or... anything but that mess that you need to be on acid to enjoy.
