The twist at the end of the episode is that "The Final Chapter" is actually the name of Joe's next book, not the actual final chapter of this one.

Last night I spent far too much time imagining Season 7 of Mad Men ending with Don recovering from a nervous breakdown through the help of the Gerald and Karen DeGroot at mental hospital in Michigan, divorcing Megan, resigning from SCDP, and telling Roger he's accepted an offer from Randall Walsh to manage the…
Maybe my parents were hard asses but it would not be unexpected if I was peeling wallpaper for them to escalate, extrapolate and yell "why are you trying to destroy this house" instead of "hey what's going on in your life that makes you want to peel wallpaper." Maybe I'm on Team Betty or just had Betty as a…
Loved Betty's comment "you'd drive to Canada for your girlfriend." Either Betty was calling Megan Don's girlfriend or was assuming that he was already sleeping around behind her back. I was really hoping the comment was the latter.
For me at least, Selena's reaction to the word cloud was the funniest moment of this season.
Message from the future: Enjoy cause I'll be turning 40 IN THIS ONE.
And Jimmy Eat World too! Sorry I am getting caught up on the series now and I loved that so much.
That hug reminded me of my dad and mom four years before they got a divorce.
Any chance NBC can quickly hire writers and spin this idea off into a one hour drama next season ala Lou Grant?
I was thinking exactly along those same lines too.
Because I am now brain damaged along with Dave Sims, my only regret about last night's episode was a hope Will would see the "angels" and say "The Angel of the Odd - 1844… CLASSIC POE!"
I was hoping Marley Shelton's Kate character and James Wolk's Bob Benson might meet and have a pleasant network spin-off about a young ad man and a Mary Kay girl in the swinging 1960s - coming this fall, Fridays at 8PM on CBS!
I agree.
Overall a solid hour and premise but I'm kind of glad that it is three and done.
My favorite part of the episode was Matt Weiner's step into self-awareness as Sylvia reacted to Megan saying that she had a miscarriage like it was a plot point in "To Have And To Hold". We get it Matt! You ARE writing a soap opera too! We get it!
Yeah I am getting a strong Sopranos season 6A feeling from the season so far. Can't wait till Harry Crane and Ken Cosgrove go to Hollywood and punch Lauren Bacall.
Although I feel like the costume department "settled down" a bit with this episode after the fashion-forwardness of the premiere, boy do I still feel like the SCDP art department is working from a time portal in 1972-3.
Hmmmm.
Yup. And I love this show so far but that scares me. I really hope it is not a serial killer of the week show. One of the reasons the Harris novels are compelling is that Dollarhyde, Jame Gumb, Mason Verger, Hannibal and even Garrett Jacob Hobbs were not "killer-of-the-week" guys. These were special cases. I was…
I thought it was GREAT. I also think it's fairly clever the way that Fuller is adding to the actual history of the Will/Hannibal relationship that Thomas Harris laid out in "Red Dragon", specifically Hannibal now manipulating Will into killing Garret Jacob Hobbs (by giving Hobbs warning), especially knowing what comes…
