Don's line to Megan is something along the lines of, "you want to be someone's discovery, not someone's wife." And I got the sense that Don, as he was watching Megan's reel (which for some reason evoked a sense of that season 1 carousel scene) he figured she could be his discovery.

The big question that hangs over this episode, once you've seen the rest
of the show, [SPOILERS] is how it would fit in with reassociation, or
