Well, not a lot of ppl. watch Veep, and I don't know him from any other project. But it's still cool you recognized him. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, I agree - it does feel like a different show. I bet next season she'll be back in the campaign trail, with all the old team.

Deets, please! What concert?

Sometimes a rifle's just a rifle, but a red ribbon that shows up in a Coke commercial is a real (Chekov) gun.

So the young women with red ribbon in braids in both the commercial and at the retreat was just a coincidence?

Coke as the big client was mentioned by McCann when trying to lure SCD to the firm, Don fixing the Coke machine at the motel in the previous episode, Peggy telling Don in the phone call to come back and "work on Coke," Roger telling the boss at McCann that Don always leaves and comes back (it's how he works), Stan…

There's tons of evidence. Just not the kind where he was shown creating or pitching it, but everything else.

There was no ambiguity - of course Don returned and created the Coke ad. This was no fan fiction - Weiner included it in the episode. Did you miss the (Buddhist) bell that dinged after Don smiled and the commercial started? Like a metaphorical lightbulb over his head.
