the consultant, in his speech, was doing what Don usually does -
Yeah, I thought that might be it, but then I couldn't figure out the significance of the airplane (or maybe the building, I don't know). It seemed to have Significance, right?
It's a real burden being right so often.

Flight. Freedom. Escape. What Don always does - he takes off.

That makes sense and I was nowhere near it.

The airplane represents Don Draper's deep dark manpain that I am so completely over already. If he wants to leave, he should leave. The show can be about Peggy and her octoporn from now on.

That would be an interesting last two episodes - a fever dream of tentacle porn animated by the ghost of Satoshi Kon.

Oh right...I have to keep reminding myself that "the rest of the show" is really not that much show at all!

Talking about it with a friend we're speculating that Don goes back to McCann with one of the most famous ad lines ever for Coke: "It's the Real Thing." Ties in with Hobart giving Don the Coke account and the setup with the Coke machine in this last episode. And yes, historically McCann did that advertising campaign.

No need to whitefont pure speculation, David!
Also: Cool theory, although I'm not convinced Don is going back. Still, the Coke Callbacks do imply that the writers will do something with them.

I would have liked to have seen Don roaming from town to town making minor mechanical repairs and reading novels, personally. ALthough giving his car to the kid was pretty good.
