This is a crucial and important episode to the series. It gives us a deeper insight into Don's secret life, where he was previously known as Dick Whitman. His entire past life is not revealed, but the episode does introduce his younger brother, and the way Don deals with the situation is very sad, but appropriate given the type of man he is.
On the other side of the episode, we find out how selfish Pete can truly be, and we see Peggy hilariously trying to deal with covering Don's affair. Her quick need for Joan's help shows how naive and helpless she is in this new world for her, and when she mentions how difficult it is, Joan replies with a smile "Yes, but don't you love it?" That was one of my favorite moments.
Overall, this was a brilliant episode all around, the best so far of Season 1, and I look forward to more.
