I saw the whole Sally-kissing-Neil thing as this:
Peggy putting her head on Don's chest while they danced, and his reaction made me think of "Happy Valentine's Day. I love you." I instantly teared up. This season, Don is discovering that there are people who love him, even though he never thought he deserved it. People who see through his facade.

Cutler does it under the same friendly false pretenses that Don did to Ted. And in the end, Don tired out, just as Gleeson predicted. I found it interesting/cool…
