What happens next? My two cents: Something radical. Don’s as bereft and alone as he’s ever been, and perhaps that will lead him to make an enormous change in his life in the season finale next week. He might not be the only one contemplating a break with the past, either. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: I wonder if Peggy will strike out on her own, grabbing a few key staff members (Stan, Joan, Ginsberg) along the way. (Next season is all Peggy and Stan smoking pot and flirting with each other. Please!)
Seriously, though, Peggy’s been the focus of a tug of war between Ted and Don all season, and she’s got to be fed up with that. She’s worked at two important agencies at this point. She’s not a young girl anymore, she’s an experienced executive. Why wouldn’t she just say, “To hell with this nonsense,” especially after Don more or less emotionally abused her in that meeting? I don’t think that term is too harsh, given that she was sold out in two different ways in that St. Joseph meeting: Not only did Don take the credit for the ad concept away from her, he created a situation in which Ted had to publicly affirm that the credit should go to a dead man rather than the woman sitting next to him. Don betrayed her, and he set up a scenario in which Ted had to betray her as well.
Right now, Peggy has a ton of responsibility and far too little of power. I’m reminded of a Virginia Slims ad that came out in 1968: “You’ve come a long way, baby.”
Peggy really has come a long way — and she has much further to go. Can she get there with these men and their issues holding her back?

I'm Overweight and My Boyfriend's Not. Big Freaking Deal
My boyfriend Ali is 5’10” with friendly blue eyes, a dimpled smile and a fit, muscular body. He’s someone you’d expect to see with a really hot, thin woman…not an overweight girl like me. We’ve been dating for 18 months, and, wherever we go - whether we’re walking hand-in-hand through the mall, airport or down the street in his hometown (Glasgow, Scotland) or mine (San Jose, Calif. …Guess who is featured on Yahoo :)
