It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

"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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm afraid that Don confiding to Dr. Faye is not a step forward in intimacy for him, but rather the death knell for that relationship.
That's how I viewed that last shot of his glance at Megan.
He doesn't want a romance with a woman who knows that secret. With Anna it was a friendship, and with Peggy it could be a friendship, and I could see him confiding in her.
But he doesn't want a love interest to see him as that vulnerable, to see him as he sees himself when he's Dick Whitman. Literally, unlovable. That's his confession to Anna about Betty. And really, that's the reason why he became Don Draper.
When you think about it he didn't have a hugely compelling reason to become Draper. He still had to earn his success under that name. He was already wounded and going to leave Korea. What it offered was a chance to leave Dick Whitman behind.
Holy moley, they're all in deep shit. They need a big account quick, and Don's going to have to really pull out some Draper magic pixie dust to sprinkle all over it.
Things I'm wondering:
If Joan is still pregnant.
If Conrad Hilton will be the White Knight account.
How long until Don breaks up with Faye. And how big a dick he'll be when he does it.
What's going to happen with Glenn before the end of the season.
How Lane will come back. Or if. I'd hate to lose him.
Also, what's up with Harry so eager to be in LA? Is he having an affair? Being courted to work in Hollywood?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Will Joey come crawling back to Peggy with a less superior attitude? Will Roger's young wife dump him and take all his money?

I agree. It could have been a step toward intimacy, and it is the first person that he told that he didn't immediately have to tell, but I agree he doesn't want to be that vulnerable.
That's how I viewed that last shot of his glance at Megan.
Definitely, this.

If Conrad Hilton will be the White Knight account.
Oooh, this would be interesting. But it would also make Don a rainmaker and I'm not sure I like that idea. I would love it if Pete got one of his Fishers Island accounts to come over, like Bethlehem Steel.

He was already wounded and going to leave Korea.
Are you sure? I got the feeling that when he recovered he was going to be sent back into combat. But I only watch eps once, and that was a long time ago, so I could have missed something. BTW I agree that Sal won't be coming back. Not because fired people don't come back (what about wotisname the recovered AAattending drunk) but the way he was fired makes it impossible. Don would have to grovel and as Hec says, Don won't grovel, not for something like that. Don can't even conceive that he was wrong.
