Don is the James Bond of advertising?

Warning: Spoilers
He's such a player, his second marriage really seems like utterly contrived writing. The secretary whos heart he breaks few episodes back is much more realistic. Why would he get married to Megan? Wherever he goes insanely hot women line up to throw themselves at him, california, any bar, neighbours etc. It's as ridiculous as a bond movie...

Enjoyable episode, a lot of the writing is getting paper thin though. Rather ludicrous turn around at the firm from losing lucky strike. Lane's death also made no sense, he could simply have asked for a short term loan or many other options Whole story was bogus. Obviously it's been done to give Joan his job by the writers.

Can you really wipe someone's memory with electo shock therapy? Don't think so.

Typical for TV shows to decline in this way after 5 seasons...
