Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When Roger said he was going to make a call, I jumped out of my seat and yelled "Joan!" SUCH a satisfying episode in so many ways. I was surprised that Lane was the one who solved the problem and yet it was perfect. Great storytelling. Having a new agency is going to be all kinds of fun next season. And you just know Sal is going to join them.

Not while Lucky Strike remains their biggest client. I dug it, too. It seemed an awful lot like the series finale, though, y'know. I wonder how much story is left to tell without changing the rules.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I love that Joan didn't have to come back defeated because of her husband but as a big damn hero! Loved Don kicking the door in! Loved Peggy telling Roger she could not get him a cup of coffee!
Betty is being such an idiot jumping from a marriage to one man that she didn't know to a possible marriage with another man she barely knows.
I really wish they had brought Sal into the new company, but I am holding out hope for this happening next season.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Not while Lucky Strike remains their biggest client.
Yeah, as soon as they mentioned Lucky Strike, I winced, because I knew that meant they wouldn't be calling Sal.
Elizabeth Moss was so good this episode! You could read every stage of her thought process during her conversation with Don in her apartment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I might have done a fist-pump and yelled YES! when I realized Roger was going to call in Joan. That was SO satisfying.
And I loved Don's "Joan! Good idea!" as soon as he saw her.
I love that Joan didn't have to come back defeated because of her husband but as a big damn hero!
THIS THIS THIS.
Not while Lucky Strike remains their biggest client.
That didn't occur to me until after I went to bed, but yeah. Poor Sal.
I wonder how much story is left to tell without changing the rules.
I'm thinking next season will be a big time jump. Maybe 2-3 years.
Man, those poor kids. Maybe once Betty's in a happier marriage, she'll have the emotional reserves to be a better mom? I just don't know. She's so ill-equipped for adulthood.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
If Betty's off to Reno for six weeks, why can't Don stay at the house to be with the kids? Provide some sort of parental presence in their lives.

Seriously. And doesn't Carla have her own family who might want to see her every now and then?

If Betty's off to Reno for six weeks, why can't Don stay at the house to be with the kids? Provide some sort of parental presence in their lives.
I was thinking that too. The poor kids get their lives turned upside down and then don't have either parent at the house.
Man, those poor kids. Maybe once Betty's in a happier marriage, she'll have the emotional reserves to be a better mom? I just don't know. She's so ill-equipped for adulthood.
I think Betty is going to find herself just as unhappy with her new man before long. Don really should have custody of the kids, but I suppose there is little chance of that happening.
That didn't occur to me until after I went to bed, but yeah. Poor Sal.
I missed that. Well, hopefully we will see him again as a competitor.
