I'm hoping for "slips on a banana peel and breaks his neck on the first day of basic training," personally. After he's signed the paperwork that would entitle Joan to a substantial life insurance payment, of course.
What?
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Goes the way of whats-his-face in Full Metal Jacket would be my preference.

Makes me think Joan would make an excellent psychiatrist if given the opportunity. Lord knows she'd be a better doctor than her useless husband.
Joan can do everything better than her husband. Hell, better than most people.

Killed in a drunken bar fight? I can totally see that happening.

Actually, I can see him committing suicide. he's so selfish and self absorbed that I can see him taking the "no one's giving me what I want, I'm going to go eat some worms!" way out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
don't you see him as more of a deserter, though?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you know what would make me laugh? if he ends up dead in an accident calling back to the real Don Draper and Joan is the widow that some future dude ends up paying off.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'd give no better than 50-50 odds for him washing out of basic training, most probably for either insubordination or something careless that gets another soldier injured or killed.
Joan should be an account executive -- she's got the people skills and the business sense, both.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A very satisfying clip of Joan whacking Dr. Rapey McFailuredouche with the vase.
I kind of loved that Roger worked the phones for her.
Hamm's acting in this was superb, but also the way they lit his face after he was all broken was interesting. They caught the angles of his cheek so he looked hollowed out, like a Dorothea Lange portrait.
