Pete gave the pitch of the (part 2) season to Trudy. Part 1 was Peggy Burger Chef.

I will add fuel to the DB Cooper theory. I could see a scenario after Don hears about Betty's condition, he fakes his own death so he can leave all of his assets to his children as well as a hefty life insurance policy. Then figures he can start life over with yet another assumed identity and 200K in the pacific northwest.
If Matthew Weiner ends this series without showing me what happens to Meredith, I will not be happy!
The "Mad Men" opening credits present a silhouette of Don in his office before the wall, the floors and all the other accoutrements are stripped away, sending him falling through the air and past all these symbols of his career in advertising. The sequence ends, though, with him seated safely and confidently in a chair, still clad in his power suit, a cigarette still dangling from his finger. He loses everything, and falls, yet winds up in seemingly the same place as before. I don't expect or require Weiner to show extreme fidelity to that piece of animation, but given how this season has played out, I wonder if this all ends with Don living some new version of his life that's only slightly different from the one he walked away from, or if he turns into someone very much apart from that guy in the suit. A few years ago, I might have assumed that Don would always be Don. Lately, though, "Mad Men" has been suggesting hope for something else.

that letter though.
“Sally. I always worried about you because you marched to the beat of your own drum, but now I know that’s good. Because your life will be an adventure.”

And yup, that made me not hate Pete. Hell I was cheering for him!
Last episode just shows why Mad Men is the best show of all time. Pete's circle back to his place as a do gooder husband and father actually felt like it made sense in a way that few shows could ever make possible. He was so far gone at one time but I now believe in him. This was some of January Jones' finest work where she showed her hardened outward shell but then let us see a crack in it all the same. I really love this show and am sad that it will end. It had been said before on this thread, and probably much more eloquently, but the true merit to this show is its ability to make me want to live with it forever. I dont care where it goes at this point. I just want to be along for the ride.
