    It was terrible! Out of character happenings everywhere! This is the first episode of the show I can say I do not like. The story telling was rushed, the structure was even terrible (Don leaves the pool then sits on the bed sad about the loss of his friend for a second then he's back at the pool happy. It could have been a powerful sequence but it was handled so clumsily). You can make unexpected plot lines that still seem plausible, but tonight's episode relied on characters not acting like themselves to shock us. This episode was truly awful.

    So this explains the baffling fact that not everyone voted awesome. I loved this episode even more than last years pitch perfect finale. Yes the episode was all over the place, and fast paced, but it had a lot of ground to cover in not a lot of time and I think it did it as well as nay show could. What character didn't act like themselves? Seriously have you been watching the same show as me for four years? Don rushing into a new relationship, Im pretty sure that already happened three times this season. Everything else was just built around that event, the before and after. I thought it was brilliant. This season was the feminine season, and although Don was still the central focus, it was his "feminine" side that was the focus, as well as his relationships with woman, and the woman themselves relationships with the world. It was about Sally, Peggy, Joan, Betty, Allison, Bethany, Mrs. Blankenship, Anna, and Megan and the way they see the changing world around them and how Don stuggles to gain that feminine perspective for himself, something he once had with Anna that was now lost. I totally saw what Don was seeing in Megan tonight, a soft youthful girl who could love his children and himself the way he always wish he could have seen Anna do. The sad thing is that Don returns all cheery and forgets that being doing this he is actually shutting himself off from the feminine world as just another bullhead with his secretary. Most importantly he is shutting himself off from Peggy, whom in "The Suitcase" proved to be the real woman Don needs in his life. this was made all the more sad in that he told Peggy that he sees her sprak in Megan. If thats the case shouldn't he just see it in Peggy? The other brilliant side to this episode is Betty's story. Geln calls her out on the monster she is and betty repsonds only by being worse of a monster than we ever could have imagined to Carla. Henry finally lets her have it to. She knows her naive vison of a beautiful life without Don was nothing but her own fantasy, and that she is the real problem We see her lie on Sally's bed connecting to the fact that she is a spoiled child in a full grown woman's body. In that final scene with Don, we see she longs for him in a way she never did in the three season they were married, but thats before Don even drops the bomb that would make any ex wife jealous. Its moments like those that made this episode the perfect conclusion to everything this season. it worked as a perfect climax for the themes and character arc of Don. We got very little in terms of the company, a surprise given the past three episodes, but this was definitely the intention, a classic bait and switch for the direction of the plot. Best of all we had the line by Bethany calling out Don as only "enjoying the beginning of things," something we all probably expect is true given Don's behavior through out the series, but its good to have in this episode as a caution to how we should expect things to play out next year.

    I REALLY liked it. But I have to watch it again to be able to talk about it.

    You gave a perfect recap to the episode, one that I also thought was outstanding, and a wonderful set-up for next season. I feel for Megan, because I can see how Don has seen her as an ideal, something he longs for, or thinks he longs for...but he really doesn't yet know her as an individual. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out, if Don can be faithful to her. (doubtful). Somehow I think it's going to be hard for Don to find his happy ending.
