Joan's BF said no thanks and walked out but it's 1971, still at the dawn of the women's movement, and she wants to do something big for herself with the money from McCann. Sally is becoming a smart young woman, a perfect blend of Betty and Don's strengths. Poor Betty. Don cried it out in Big Sur and then wrote the biggest Coke ad in history. He unloaded all of his baggage (crying, hugging and meditating above the ocean) and got his mojo back.

Thank you for the excellent summation, BE. You pretty much nailed it and I agree 100%.
I loved the finale but only after it was over did I like it. Along the way I kept asking myself....how is this going to be a wrap on the whole series with all the characters? Heck there's only 7 minutes left...eek! Then one by one they wrapped everything up very nicely --- but NOTHING was predictable at ALL - which was the best part!
Pretty amazing stuff.....especially if you (like me) were around in the 60's and can relate to the whole "scene".
