laudiHis kids know about his past but He didn’t lie about himself in the same way to them. They just know him as their father and probably won’t care what his name is. Sally already has a deep mistrust of him, Gene is a baby, and the middle child will just think it’s a cool story.
McCann isn’t like SC; there’s no intimacy. The last 3 episodes show that everyone is working on different floors reporting to different people. Bert is dead, Pete and Joan switched jobs, Roger retired, and Peggy has a different boss, might switch jobs later
“ did don really use his job as therapy?”
A Running motif through the show is Don working as an excuse not to face any emotional issues (the suitcase). S6E7. Jim gives Don speed and Don spends the entire weekend realizing how he lost his virginity is why he wants Sylvia back. In fact, it’s mostly the reason Megan wanted a divorce. Don would rather lie about having a job then be with his wife
The ending is up to interpretation whether Don decides to internalize the spiritual awakening he gained from the retreat. You say he doesn’t, I say he does since he finally confronted his issues with no one to hide behind. head canon: he gets back together with Faye and lives happily ever after
to quote an inferior show, if you think this has a happy ending you havent been paying attention. i just dont see this 2 week road trip having a lasting effect on him. he's had emotional breakthroughs before. he's had runs of good behavior in the past. theyve never lasted. he's broken and going to a hippy retreat and using that to go back and create another award winning advertisement isn't going to fix him. if anything the coke ad ending shows that he's not changed, that he'll always be the same don. if he was truly changed, he wouldn't have gone back to mccann.

Why buy the farm if you can get the milk for free?I think Peggy and Stan go to another existing agency that’s more free-spirited before starting an agency. A female run ad agency is rough in the ‘70s, even ‘80s.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Don does something with cars tbh. The way McCann did their focus testing is so at odds with Don’s artistic processes that I believe he doesn’t renew his contract.
I don't think Pete wants a family but he also doesn't want anyone else to have his family. He already struggled with California alone. I don't think he could do Kansas alone
Yeah when I think of Don's next chapter, I think of cars for sure.
I think Peggy is too driven to stay in the backseat for long and Stan previously showed the desire to start his own agency in Cali.

I’m thinking Don used his time out in therapy to make that coke advertisement, I don’t think they would have even said the brands name in earlier episodes for any other purpose then foreshadowing this ending.
Although that being said, I don’t see Don sticking around
he might have sold the idea but continues to live in retirement to find himself.
I think he does want to heal. That scene where he hugged the man
that was a powerful moment. Whether or not he is successful in finding peace is open for discussion.

What did you think
loved where they went with all of these characters, I cried when Draper hugged that guy in therapy, i’m incredibly sympathetic to Sally’s struggles for the future.
I’m glad to see Joan and Roger in great places
Really it seems like everyone got a hopeful ending
Idk if Pete really deserved his ending,
Although I am glad he is going to focus on spending more time with his daughter.
I think he had a great transformation through the years.RIP Pryce
RIP Cooper
RIP Betty (even tho she’s unlikeable)Megan got a milli check

You think he gave the idea to Peggy?

also very possible
i don’t seem him going back to work permanently. Let alone believing that they would let him come back at all. So this is actually way likelier.I think Don has always seen Peggy as sort of a little sister that he’s molded to be more like him.

Really? I thought she was just cut a check of a million?
Did she get something else that i am not aware of? Does she have a share in the company or something?

It’s even more likely when you remember Waterloo. Don finds out he’s going to be fired so he coaches Peggy on what exactly to do to secure the account for herself so she can keep it because he can’t keep it if he’s fired.

Hell no
There’s nothing left for him in NY other than his children. I think he keeps Anna’s house, fixes cars, maybe even calls Faye. This is all speculation though
