It's really disheartening to see how much Betty's self worth is wrapped up in her looks.
Henry's Mom is a garbage person.
'Everything is going to be OK'.
Hey, TWO new characters, Dawn and Ginzo!
We talked more about April Wine than you'd expect.
We didn't like the Romney line.
I love Ginzo's father.
The Stones, playing Time is on My Side, to the bean ballet, blame Steve.
It really does feel like a whole separate episode, if only a day later.
Stan and Harry, that's when you cheer for Stan. Harry is truly gross.
Roger should stop carrying so much cash around.
I spotted more dramatic irony, and then Steve taught me about a new kind of irony.
That scene with Megan cleaning up, we both think it's a bit of role-play, though it's also a conversation. It lets us know that we're at the start of a relationship.
Oops, the racist funny funny joke has come back to bite them.
Bert has no office.
Pete needs a new one.
While this episode was a two parter originally, we'll tackle it this week and next.
Don is in love.
Don seems, wait for it, happy.
Megan throws a party.
Megan swears like a Quebecer, which, well, makes sense as the character is one, as is the actress.
I wouldn't want a surprise party.
Hell of a performance by Jessica Paré here.
Stan is still an idiot.
Pete is a decent guy!
That thing at the beginning, the racist thing from the jerks at Y and R, that happened. Indeed, the dialogue was from a New York Times article about the incident.
We start with some predictions that Steve made about Season 4, did they come true?
We discuss the big theses of Season 4.
We discuss the big events of Season 4.
We get Steve to make predictions for Season 5.
Cliff and I talk about what episodes in Season 5 we want to hear Steve's reaction to (Signal 30 anyone?)
Oh and we end with a killer song.
Thanks again for coming on Cliff!
Don asked Megan to marry him. I didn't see this coming (in 2010). It actually seems like he might have thought it through.
Betty is a baby in this episode, though she still seems to like that Don hid rye in her old house.
Roger's line 'did you get cancer' is hilarious.
Kenny seems like a normal person!
The song they sing is REALLY dark.
Poor Carla, damn you Betty.
Who did Megan and her friend see at the Whisky? I'm guessing the Byrds. I want it to be Johnny Rivers, but the times don't add up.
The milkshake was the clincher, it so often is.
This one is another caper really, and it's directed by John Slattery, which follows.
Watching people lose their jobs sucks.
Watching Don have the New York Times publish what was, in essence, an ad for SCDP is pretty great.
I love Bert fake quitting.
As much as I find Teddy grating, I'll admit that the RFK bit was inspired. The Easter Egg in there that 'someone named Emerson Foote called' is great.
I've seen someone take Heroin, I imagine Midge's description is not too far off.
My discipline, psychology, gets a really great representation this week with Dr. Edna, and a shitty one with Atherton. Screw him. Roger is right.
What's with Glen and the football stuff?
As we have seen in past seasons, this show runs its finales over a few episodes.

Megan is making a move maybe? Hey, pretty good use of alliteration there Dave, why thank you Dave.
People don't take you seriously because you've never taken yourself seriously. Bert gets the best lines.
Peggy and Abe, sitting in a tree.
Stan is a pig.
I think Jane really loves Roger. I think Roger has completely lost interest in Jane.
RAY WISE. You know that character is coming back, you don't hire Ray Wise for a one off. Also, I want to go back to Missoula Montana! (Look it up).
Pete's a dad! It really is a pretty special thing when your kids are born. Trudy's dad is a dick.
No this isn't about Mad Men. I did talk about Mad Men in the podcast though! This is from a new podcast I'm doing with my brother Da...
