Roger's speech about his name dying out was interesting because of course he does have a son, just not one who has his last name.
You know, I did not even think about that. But, yeah, does not help with the end-of-the-Sterlings.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Roger has a son with...Joan? So many secret babies on this show.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yes, Joan's son is Roger's, but he is just Uncle Roger to the boy as far as we know.

Just two. That's not even many.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Pfft. Everybody who's anybody has secret babies, P-Cow. Get with it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't make myself care anymore what happens to Don Draper. I have just completely run out of interest in his dark secret manpain.
Some nice callbacks in this ep - starting the meeting with "Shut the door" (and, by implication, have a seat). The five partners framed by the windows with the skyline behind them, this time defeated and facing the camera.
But overall this ep just reminded me of when I was excited by the plot twists in this show instead of bored by the endless repetition. (Yeah, yeah, it's a carousel. But it's starting to feel predictable instead of inevitable.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wouldn't have minded this as the finale, basically. A little fan-service-y, callbacks, transition, etc. So now what are they going to do for the next three episodes?

Jesse, I was thinking the same thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I really liked this episode. It was well directed by Jared Harris, and there were lots of great scenes. Pete in particular came off as well as he ever has without sacrificing his essential Pete-ness. "The King ordered it!"
"Don't sweetheart me!"
That scene with Peggy and Stan was excellent and felt.
I have no idea where they're going with the last three episodes though. I hope shit happens though. That's my wish. Decisive things happen and some people change.
