Don Draper, the ultra-suave star of AMC's Mad Men series, gets around.
He's been married twice, divorced once, slapped, manipulated, and heartbroken.
Through it all, his new romantic interests have come and gone so frequently, we've found it hard to keep up over five seasons.
So with Season 6 upon us, now is a great time to look back and recap who Don Draper's women are, what they mean to Don, and where their encounters left off.
Some characters are obvious; others you won't even remember.
Betty Francis
Formerly a model, Betty was Don's first wife. Increasingly manic-depressive and discontent, Betty spent much of her marriage to Don stuck in the suburbs as Don gallivanted about in NYC.
After catching on to Don's promiscuity, she left him for Henry Francis, an aide to Nelson Rockefeller. She married Francis right after she had Don's third child, Eugene, becoming Betty Francis.
Played by January Jones.
Midge Daniels
Midge is an artist and a free-spirited pothead whom we first meet early in Season 1. She rejects Don's dreams of domesticating her, and turns down his invitation to elope to Paris.
In Season 4, she reappears as a heroin addict and wife to a failed playwright. She tries to get drug money out of Don — Don obliges, buying one of her paintings out of sympathy.
Played by Rosemarie Dewitt.
Rachel Menken
Rachel is the head of Menken's Department store, a client of Sterling Cooper. Initially, she is against a romance with Don, a married man, but she eventually caves.
Don, apparently in love, asks her to run away to L.A. with him, but she shoots him down. In Season 2, Don sees her in a restaurant, where she introduces him to her new husband.
Played by Maggie Siff.
