The look on Don's face when Sally told him she loved him was priceless. I liked their scenes together, he's actually trying to connect with her on some level.

Sally telling Don she loved him may go down as one of my favorite scenes on the show. I couldn't help but mist up a little. And when Sally said "I'm so many people," you know Don completely understood. I hope the relationship between these two continues to grow.
Damn, there were some short skirts in the workplace, Shirley's in particular. You would never be able to get away with that now.

In my first job in the late 90s, I wore a super short A-line tweed skirt. They were in style at the time, and I was also wearing dark tights and a turtleneck. The VP of Marketing actually pulled me aside and told me my skirt was too short for the office. And then everyone started jokingly referring to me as the "office hussy". Shirley's dress was like a pajama top!

I think Cutler is going to freeze out all the SCDP people except for Joan, who will be on his side because he respected her as an "accounts man", insisting she get a proper office and shed the personnel duties. I'm predicting Don and Pete and Peggy end up starting their own agency for the series finale. That's totally what he's doing. Joan actually knows how to run the place, so he's keeping her, and freezing out the dead weight (Roger). He's a crafty devil, that one. I'm tired of Ted and Peggy being so pathetic. Move on. Though I did enjoy Shirley's "Who the hell would send her flowers?" and her satisfied look when she got them back. The Don and Sally stuff was so sweet. He got love and forgiveness from the person he needed it from the most and from the relationship he thought he had damaged beyond repair. I hope this pulls him up out of the spiral. I'm tired of watching him circle the drain.

Really not feeling this episode at all. Mostly because I haaaaaated watching Sally with the Farmington crowd. Those kids are terrible and she has seamlessly morphed into one of their kind. Gross.
I felt so fucking awful for Dawn and Shirley this episode, even with Dawn's promotion. Lou is an asshole and Peggy has officially become the worst person in that office. Go to hell, Peggy.
I also just can't buy the redemption arc for Don they're trying to push on us. He has not done nearly enough work on himself to make me believe he either can or will pull himself together.

The final scene with Don and Sally may be Jon Hamm's finest piece of acting. IMO, he nailed it.

Totally agree with others on the Don/Sally scenes. I love them together. The part in the diner where he joked that they were going to leave without paying was great. And I'm glad he was honest with her about his job.

I must have missed something, because did Betty just get angry at Bobby just because he traded sandwiches? Was there something more than that?

And he didn't realize she would be eating at all! What kind of time bomb is that to live with?

I was only watching with half an eye, but was Lane's name still on a door?
ETA: And so it was, I guess. I wonder if the anviltastic symbolism is going in the direction that it seems. Betty is hungry, some male person traded away what she thought she was entitled to; Don got the office of the dead person, amidst many montages of swinging doors, and all that sitting and waiting was purgatorialicious, with all the subtlety of a locomotive.
