How many people had jaws dropping open the last 5 minutes of mad men like my wife?

She has been a fan (not since the beginning but her cousin got her the first season to try and has been hooked since.

A lot of the characters she hates (I think it is a love to hate thing but I'm not sure) One character she has liked from the beginning was Sally and she finds Kieran to be a fantastic actress and this episode just floored her.

It just made me sad. Poor Sally. Sometimes I think Sally is the only person Don ever completely loved. What a loss of innocence.

I loved when Pete's mom said something about Peggy and Pete having a child together. Loved Bob Benson's big reveal. But the rest was just depressing. Poor Sally.

I'll answer your question below but I want to give folks plenty of warning. DON'T READ IF YOU HATE SPOILERS!













SPOILERS:

Don and Sylvia hooked up again and were having sex in the maid's room. Sally walked in and saw them. (It's kind of long convoluted story about how that happened.) She was pretty freaked out about it.

from the beginning. She isn't going to forgive him that easily and I think this is going to be the character to give Don the jolt most people see coming.


Remember Sally did see Roger getting a Blow Job from Marie in season 5.

Matt has always been careful about what Sally (Keiran) Exposed too. She meant her to see it to jolt something or set something up for season 7

She reflected her mother's mannerisms. She really looked like her daughter.

Seems par for the course with Mad Men. I would have been shocked if the final scene was Campbell smoking a cigarette in bed with Bob Benson.

Matt Weiner loves to screw with fans heads, just like he did when he was writing "The Sopranos."
