We know that the Beatles are coming for them, but what is in store...
...finale to be a doomsday episode–the death of a character seemed inevitable. Instead, Don (really, Weiner, who co-wrote and directed the episode) embraced the notion that the only viable way to dig oneself out of seeming disaster is to innovate and march forward. In a turn of events that Hitchcock himself could have imagined, Draper manages to release himself from the fetters on pre-’60s corporate conventions, venturing out into uncharted territories–helming an independent company and living what is sure to be a rollicking life as a single...
