I was just saying that it didn't directly affect the people in his life and the only way it would affect SCDP is if he was exposed and court-martialed, so it is in everyone's best interest to keep it quiet…

I agree with you. I think this and Avatar are so much better since the writers can't just fall back on sensationalism and knee-jerk cynicism and they can be positive without being too sentimental and just have fun. I like good dose of entertaining sex and violence as much as the next person, but not every story needs…

That really was an amazing shot.

I'm sure there would be many sticky legal points about a situation like Don's, but that wouldn't be one of them.

It's been a while since I've seen the episode but I think he did tell Betty about his brother when she confronted him and they had a moment of connection (while poor Miss Ferrell sat forgotten in the car). It was wrenching, he opened up to her but it was too much to take in and she rejected him in the end.

You are in my head, I agree with everything you said. I found it really captivating, I've been rather underwhelmed by this season (and arguing about grades is silly). Some of the old Don magic is back, everyone had at least one good scene and people actually said what they meant. Maybe the season was supposed to be…
