When it's time to go you shouldn't stick around

Don plays his last, best card to get back to work with SCP. I just don't understand why he makes such a big effort to go back to a place where his partners despise him, rather than turn a new leaf and start with an agency that wants him.

His best move would have been forcing the partners to buy him out - that would have taught them a good lesson - and work for the competition. Instead, he accepts to crawl back in a demeaning junior position. Unless that was a kind of perverted atonement, his decision doesn't make any sense.

Therefore, I found the plot of this episode one of weakest because it defies reason, even the drunkard, distorted logic Don showed at times.

Finally, I never liked Peggy much, but her lines about not having missed Don is utterly despicable and shows what a mean, frustrated, petty woman she is.
