It will never work out for Peggy. She is far too morally bankrupt. The only chance she has to escape the world of Madison Avenue. Wishing her character to escape is mere fantasy. Her fate is misery and failure in all human aspects like family and relationships. At least she will find satisfaction in wealth and status.

Peggy has been assuming everything Don has been doing lately has revolved around her yet it's not. The fact that it involves her is just a side bonus for him lol. But yeah in the finale something big is happening. Just has to be. And I mean besides the Megan/Don relationship ending, I think we definitely know that by now.

Do they have the money to open another branch? Also Don would probably have to hang out with Harry all day if so rofl.

I mean they got a 8 million dollar account out there. Not 100% sure but were those the same clients complaining about how they would call NYC and nobody would be around? Plus Harry could expand the TV department.

As for Don over Ted he could could definitely convince Meghan to go out there with him since she could do movies, while Ted is married with small children. Hell that could even explain the Sharon Tate shirt it just signified Meghan was going to go into movies. Also Don needs to pull a Don and leave. He's miserable in NYC.

I hope Mad Men gets remembered during award season. Breaking Bad may over shadow this as amazingly fantastic that it is.

Something tells me the next episode will be the biggest cliffhanger of the series and I'll be pissed because I want to see more. Either Don is going to quit/attempt to kill himself, or Peggy quits. I don't know what other megaton they're going to go for. Hopefully Megan finds out about Don so I can see the reaction, I'd also like a Sally/Don conversation but that seems unlikely.

What about a faked suicide by Don? Faking his death to escape Madison Avenue, his kids, and Megan makes more sense than actually hanging himself.

Don't not going to fake a suicide, or attempt one. This whole episode, you saw what his response was to losing his daughter? He became a fucking Bond Villain. He became a Terminator. He was ruthless, cold, efficient, and RIGHT.

He's going Heisenberg. He's going to crack the firm in fucking half.

That was one heck of a roller coaster.

1. Ken getting shot. lol pirate lol roger quips.

2. Ted and Peggy. Interesting how in this episode we saw their relationship solely from Don's perspective.

3. Don making moves taking control back via Sunkist after seeing Peggy and Ted together.

4. Glen and Rololololololol

5. Pete vs Bob. pete learned something. Bob is immensely interesting because unlike Don, we know nothing from the beginning.

Good episode to set up the finale. In some ways it felt like a ton happened and yet not much time passed.

episode 11 spoilers

holy shit at Sally catching Don and Sylvia going at it. That's not what I expected. I thought she would accidentally take letter that Don wrote for Mitchell or something like that.

Well, again, great episode. Bob being formerly a servant makes a lot of sense, though seeing him not smiling was weird, hah.

The next episode might be interesting if they didn't show even a single scene from it in the preview, had they done anything like that before? Synopsis is even less hopeful than usual too (
"Don has difficulties"
yes, that's the entire description AMC had released).

I have to say that scene with Glen was Glorious! I think that this episode is my favorite of the season. God I wish that this wasn't the second to last season, I'm gonna miss this show.

Maybe they're just friends? Bob isn't afraid of inserting himself into people's private lives to move up the ladder. I'm starting to think his interests aren't really sexual at all.

Pete: "Who hired you??"

I'm starting to wonder if he is in fact Don's illegitimate son.

If his mom moved to West Virginia when she got kicked out of the whorehouse...

Of course, that would mean that Bob also cracked Don's secret, and knows he's Dick.

Or, (twist!) he's the real Don Draper's illegitimate son!

Am I the only one who lost it when Glenn takes a huge intake of breath through his nose before asking Sally how's she doing? I mean, it was just

SNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHowareyou?

Must've rewound it five times.

The true highlight of the episode for me.

So yeah, this was a pretty entertaining penultimate episode. While this show has always made it a point to showcase generational divides in characters' decisions and perspectives, I dunno, it kind of reached out to me more here with the boarding school stuff and the furor over Sunkist/Ocean Spray and it was great.

Reading Grantland's recap and found this:

Was hoping for a Cosgrove Emilio Largo joke. :(

You know what? When Sally said her father never gave her anything she was wrong. Her father and the environment he created probably gave her a lifetime of sexual dysfunction and intimacy issues.

Absolutely entertaining episode, had me on the edge of my seat most of the time. Can't wait for the finale.
