But she mentioned hitching before. It was frequently done back then, but not at night alone at least. So that's a potential problem heading her way.

I just don't see the ending with Don remaining in NYC. I see him making the leap to improving his life and the lives of those around him by moving back to be near his kids where he would see them more frequently. Of course it doesn't have to end that way, but that's the only ending in my mind that would wrap things…

I wish the replies were working. In response to Courtney, I noticed Peggy's outfit hanging on the door. I guessed it was meant to show that she's just like the guys though … You know like how they always have an extra jacket hanging on the back of the door.

One thing no one mentioned was that Sally was going to hitch hike back to her boarding school. Yes, we used to hitch hike back then, but by yourself at night … I don't know. It sounds like she's going to have an incident soon because she's a little out of control. Don really needs to be a more present father.

I noticed a lot of yellow on everyone in this episode. Cutler, Don's secretary, a few other people too. Bright yellow. Not sure what that symbolized though. Yellow is a happy color.

No, he doesn't see them that much. They're with Betty or at boarding school most of the time. If he lived in town he'd see them more often.

Cutler's character is supposed to be conservative and fairly "low keyed". He's like Ellsworth Touey in The Fountainhead who sat behind his desk seeming to be mild mannered, but was the real evil genius who wanted to take over the world. Harry's doing a great job. I agree he's looking really good in the garb.

Harry Hamlin is sooooo perfect at playing Cutler. Cutler is the real devil here. He's the one that Don has to defeat. I loved Don's content smirk when he closed the car door on Cutler. Looks like DON IS BACK!!! And is going to kick ass!

But in the end of the episode Lou remarked at how incredible Don was! Maybe Lou softened??!! It's Cutler that is the real Devil anyway.

Betty is key to this episode (I think) because it's setting us up for the ending where Don decides he's going to quit his Madison Ave. job in Advertising and head back to Westchester to be a better Dad to his kids who we are seeing in repeated ways really need him. They are "products of a broken family" as Betty once…

Other than his name, you can't call what Don has achieved "ill gotten". No, he's good at what he does. The "you have to do the work" mantra in Season 7 is about him changing and redeeming himself to everyone he hurt. Therefore it will progress into an ending where he does just that and everyone (who matters) is…

That doesn't quite make sense. I'll have to rerun that part.

Oh yeah. Weiner isn't going to forget his sponsors! Which is why if you look at my post below, I've predicted an ending that pays homage to the car sponsors (Cadillac) and actually makes some sense because Don started out selling cars. And I think those were relatively happy days for him.

Lincoln is a big sponsor.

I mean, come on! You know Lee (Neve) is the one for Don, right?! No one has mentioned this but you all saw how truly blissful they were on the plane. Did you ever see Don smile that way before. It's a given that she'll be his third and final wife.

I think Peggy's angst was played up because the storyline will eventually end with her being in a better place emotionally, professionally, spiritually. She'll end up with the capability to "make the decisions" because that's how it needs to end.

So from what I read, BurgerChef was a big company for many, many years. Sure it was bought, but it's not like it never made it. I personally never heard of it, but I'm from the East coast and in 1969 out McDonalds had just sold about 1 million hamburgers. But, ok … maybe since I never heard of them maybe they could…

Remember Laugh In from the 60s? She's like Goldie Hawn.

I think all four so far have been fantastic. I can't wait to see Don come out on top again and smite his enemies (Lou and Cutter).

Yes, and its going to show that part of Don's redemption is to not follow the same irrevocable course as Roger. It's too late for Roger - his daughter is grown and now off ruining her child's life - but Don's kids are still young enough for him to correct course.
