And the black people are (drumroll, please):

Season 4, Episode 1: Carla.

Season 4, Episode 2: Carla and a bartender at the Christmas party.

Season 4, Episode 3: A man and a woman who were in the audience at the club where Don and Lane saw the comedian.

Season 4, Episode 4: A man waxing the floors at Sterling Cooper Draper Price, and three guests at the loft party.

Season 4, Episode 5: Carla (with Sally in the child psychiatrist's office).

Season 4, Episode 6: An elevator operator in the last scene.

Season 4, Episode 7: No black people.

Season 4, Episode 8: Two people walking down the street past Don Draper. Possibly the person who gave Betty Draper her purse under the bathroom stall, but that's debatable, so we're not counting it.

  • Season 4, Episode 9: The man who mugs Roger and Joan on an New York street.
  • Season 4, Episode 10: Toni, the Playboy Bunny who is Lane's girlfriend.
  • Season 4, Episode 11: None. We guess after the literal beating Lane took over his relationship with Toni, they needed a breather.
  • Season 4, Episode 12: We're on a roll…none.
  • Season 4, Episode 13: Poor Carla, who was fired; a moving man; and model Caroline Jones, whose moniker left us wondering if she was named after the advertising icon Caroline R. Jones, one of the few black women working in a leadership role on Madison Avenue during the 1960s.
