I would like it best if they tried to hire Sal and he told them to screw themselves.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. Someone on the comment thread for the AV Club MM discussion wanted to know whether it isn't ridiculously unrealistic and dumbassy to have Don sign some random paperwork without looking at it closely.
Really? Out of all the jacked-up high stakes high tension depending-on-layers-of-improbabilities plot threads the show has offered up over the past 4 seasons, that's what you stick at? Because I swear I've never had a single boss who wouldn't have blithely, obliviously signed away anything from his/her citizenship to a kidney to you-name-it if it came on a nicely typed form with one of those "Sign here" arrow stickies.
The second most eyerolly comment came from the person who wanted to know why Don/Dick is so scared even now, all these years later, because, c'mon, it's only desertion.
And the scariest is the person who felt that Lane's father had a valid point about getting him to man up and face his family back in London, though of course he could have chosen a more diplomatic method to get the point across.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ooh, having Sal back would be great.

But he would have to get payback for "you people". That was Don. And I don't think the kind of apology Don made to Pete would be enough.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They're not going to get Sal back. That's wishful fandom thinking, not anything like the show's universe.
And Don certainly wouldn't apologize.
Life or death on Mad Men is losing your job. That's the high, dramatic consequence.
Then again, Joss brought Angel back from hell without explanation...
Actually I could see Sal showing up when they go to San Francisco in '67. He's working for some version of Hal Riney.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Btw, who was singing along over the closing credits.
"Listen ..../ do you want to know a secret / do you promise not to tell / Ooooh Waaaaah Ooooh / I'm in love with you." - as Don looks at Megan!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I never considered that Joan didn't have an abortion, but I will say that this line that Joan says to Roger:
"We avoided a tragedy. Life goes on."
Suggests otherwise.

There's so much to get into a season's worth of episodes!

This ep made me dizzy with the number of land mines people stepped on. Wow! Can this agency be saved?
