A lot happened last week on Mad Men, but one of the most memorable and surprising plotlines was when sweet Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka) decided to go all rebellious teenager and spend a test weekend at a boarding school in Connecticut where lived her life like an episode of Gossip Girl: There was lots of drinking, she maybe smoked some pot (that wasn't too clear), and she watched elatedly as two boys fought over her. Then, when Betty (January Jones) is driving her home, the two share a cigarette—Sally, because she's jaded now and jaded people smoke cigarettes, and Betty because she's trying to be the cool mom from Mean Girls.
Anyway, though Sally's transformation is fairly shocking, it's not really unexpected if you think about it; Her life has been falling apart for years. Her mother is cold, uncaring, and her father, well...he's Don Draper (Jon Hamm). She's young, and unsure of how to deal with everything, you can't blame the girl for acting out. In an effort to get some more insight into what exactly is going through Sally's head, Vulture spoke with Shipka about the most recent episode—and what to expect in Sally's future. Some tidbits:
