Now that I have finished my marathon of season four and watched the new episode, I can say that I disagree.
He married a genius! That apparent meltdown she had while "cleaning" was nothing short of brilliant. It was a full-on domination role play and intentionally so. She knows what only hookers have previously known about Don and she used it to regain the upper hand after he rejected her.
I was also shocked that he told her the truth about himself. When he gave her Anna's ring at the end of last season, I thought it was a total capitulation to the fantasy of Don Draper, that he was walking away from his attempts earlier in the season to integrate Dick and Don and be a whole human being. Clearly I was wrong, because Megan knows everything.
Other things I adored:
- The party. The mixture of people -- from pot smoking beatniks to Don's accountant -- was hilarious. I would love to have been at that party, and not just for the Lola Falana sixtiesness of it.
- the whole scene between Lane and Joan. He was so sweet to her and his Zou Bisou imitation was just the best.
- Pete Campbell's new suburban home looking pretty much exactly like Don and Betty's old Ossining place.
- Everything else.
