Don went to his source of wisdom and inspiration, California and everything became clear to him.
Note how he didn't lie to kids about his name on the wall, how he was open with Megan about the Faye situation (she obviously knew, being his secretary). He's found solution to all problems in being true to people he cared about.The season ends in a funny way because on one hand it's the same situation he ridiculed Roger for and on the other you can see the new chick is wholly different class and from what we saw, a good person to boot.
Dumping Faye was on the cards, this woman was trouble in the long run. I don't see how marrying a superambitious PhD-wielding professional was a better choice than marrying an ambitious secretary. Faye was a female Don. And really, was Faye an "artistic person", huh? :D
It was presented to you clearly: Faye: stressed out, almost shaking all the time, loses temper, terrible with kids; Megan: angelic.I guess next season starts with Don and Megan having a baby, so the part of weirdness of her still being a secretary will be spared for us.
I predict it will be about Don—who just found his true self—learning that his true self is being a Dick, name pun intended.
BTW, he just run away from women who knew his past, anyone taking bets if he's going to share the truth with the new wife?For those complaining about Mad Men turning into a soap opera, have you seen seasons 1, 2 and 3?
