First Promo And Plot Details For Mad Men's Final Season

Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is on a journey, is the very literal symbolism behind the first brief promo released to tease the final season of AMC's hit drama Mad Men.

Here's how People, who got the exclusive on the short video, dissects it:

1. Don is on a journey
Did he go to California after all and have another trippy jaunt in the desert? Did he delve even deeper into his past and visit the rural homestead he escaped? Did he flee the country and hop across the pond, given TWA's transatlantic dominance during the 1960s? Surely, the devoted will zoom in on the background to figure out which airport he is at … JFK, perhaps?

2. He's back on track
Well, at least physically. Between all the changes at work and his romantic turmoil, there were some episodes he was starting to look a little, well, rough. So it's nice to see him maintaining his trademark dapper silhouette as the show nears that fashion vortex known as the 1970s.

3. His look also means he's most likely still up to his same old tricks
Given the show's penchant for dropping hint Easter eggs throughout the show, let's dissect his wardrobe. Namely, his tie, which looks like the same one he wore in "Man with a Plan," the seventh episode of season six. Can't remember what happened? Dark, dark things: Don gets all Fifty Shades of Grey on his mistress, gets dumped by said mistress after she dreams he dies in a plane crash, and Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated. The first half of the season is entitled "The Beginning," but no more clues yet about whether the new start is good – or bad. We're banking on the latter!

Mad Men's seventh and final season returns on April 13th at 9pm.
