Good question. I'm guessing since the majority voted for the stock buyout that Don's stuck with the same thing.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Another little piece of the puzzle that is Don, that I found fascinating, was his obvious love for cars. Which, of course, goes back to when Anna found him and he was selling cars. Makes one wonder how he got from selling cars to selling ads.
Ah well, flashback for another season.
And who else teared up slightly when Anna said, "He wanted to marry my sister-- she looks just like me but with two good legs."

Burn Notice and Psych have been renewed!
Who played Anna - she was excellent.
It's sad that Don is relaxed with almost every woman that isn't Betty.

Interesting post in Mad Men Talk [link] about all the of the symbolism inherent in the episode. Some of it seems like it's stretching a bit, but the bit about the Popsicle mom looking like a priest handing out Communion certainly could be plausible. Peggy did say if there was anything the Catholic church knew how to do, it was sell and the symbolism of a mother handing out the popsicles like Communion certain jibes with Peggy's emerging place in the agency-- that of a woman taking on a traditionally male role.
Timewise, this is really interesting, since we're about to head into the time period for the Second Vatican Council- if memory serves, they first convened in 1963 and the first results were implemented in late '64.
However, this also raises a really interesting question-- how are the new British bosses, if indeed this buyout does go through, going to take to a female copywriter? Were the Brits more progressive than Americans with respect to women in the workforce in that time period or was it somewhat similar?

Twoppers are calling the Popsicle mom something like "Our Lady of the Popsicle."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

October 11, 1962. I swear, this show has turned me into Rain Man.

Ha! I was thinking early '63, so I wasn't too far off. And I hear ya on the Rain Man thing-- last night's Cold Case there was a snippet of music on in the background and I absent-mindedly said, "Yvonne Elliman, 'If I Can't Have You' from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and did you know that she was Mary in JC Superstar?" and my husband just looked at me like I was an alien.
