What happens to Adam in Mad Men?
Not long after sending Don the old family photos, Adam hanged himself. (“Indian Summer”) After a change of heart, Don tried to reach Adam and discovered that he had committed suicide. Don was devastated to lose the only member of his family that he cared about and for whom he had affection.
Don assiduously guarded the fact that he was really Dick Whitman from everyone, including Betty. Draper did so out of fear that he would be discovered by the U.S. government and imprisoned for desertion, and Don also didn’t want to lose the affluent life he built as a powerful Madison Avenue ad executive and all of the perks that came with the job.
