How bout the whore being so sweet and loving and caring for Don, then on her way out ratting on him and demanding $5.00 for popping his cherry. Man that was cold.

Notice that Sylvia had the same mole as the whore he lost his virginity to.

I want to go back to his other flings and see how many of them had moles on the right side of their face.

I don't think a lot of them did. I think that was just played up for this episode. The lady in the oatmeal ad had the mole also.

Perhaps Don realized he really hit rock bottom, endangered his kids and is on the way back up?

Naw, he still gonna be a piece of shite.

Not that megan is much better, leaving a 12 year old to watch 2 little kids while she whores it up in Manhattan

I think that's the direction it's going. Don's going to try and build up his life again but Megan's long gone. Betty's going to use the burglary to keep him from seeing his kids. His workplace is starting to doubt him.

He's going to have to rely on himself for fulfillment.

That's not really out of the ordinary, especially in 1968.

As a non watcher of this show, what year are they in now? I loved the feel of the early seasons, with that sleek early 60s look and feel. With this past episode, I started noticing a shitty late 60s early 70s vibe.

Episode felt incomplete without my boy Bob Benson.

Also how awesome would it have been to see Bert on that speed fix.

Imagine how many coffees Bob Benson could have run for with all that speed racing through his body.

Just got around to watching this episode, wow. I agree with whoever said Don may have hit bottom, but I was really hoping to see Burt and Roger on drugs.
