I thought that was the best episode in a while. It may have also been January Jones' (and perhaps Kiernan Shipka's) finest moment in the entire series and it put the Betty character into a context with which the viewer could empathize with her for perhaps the first time. It's easy to think of her in Don's words as "spoiled Main Line brat", but the conversation she has with Sally on the bed kind of makes you realize that she has fought for some things, especially to sustain/save her marriage with Don.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the finale. Before this episode, I thought this season had been simply "okay", but I thought the same thing about Justified and then the final two episodes absolutely blew me away.

I found Pete way more the better character when he was all high and tight with the hair. This floppy do with the side burns makes him look like nothing like his character. Pete's a weasel and he's up tight and not a creative - doesnt seem like the kind of guy who would go with the trends of the day.

There are A LOT of up tight, not creative people nowadays that are following the trends of the day, like beards.
That defeats the point of the show. How would the world pass Don Draper by if there was another person in the office who was stuck in the 50s, even if it was simply in terms of the type of hair or clothes he wore?
Notice there's only one character on the show who doesn't change their look throughout the series.
The reason for that is because Don Draper is not really Don Draper - he is Richard Whitman pretending to be Don Draper.

Never watched one second of one episode. Glad this show is over so I don't need to hear about it anymore.
Pretty tidy way to wrap it up I guess. had a feeling they would work in Coke once the McCann merger happened. They could have gotten one more good season I think but probably a good time to wrap it up.

It was 18 heading into the final season.
I liked the last episode. At first, I had absolutely no idea what to think, but Don is such a junkie that it's only natural that he'd return to advertising.
