-Don is one of the worst people in the world. I felt awful for Megan, and was glad when that fell apart. Don should just be alone, and see his kids here and there. He doesn't care about anyone, he can only pretend. I constantly have Sopranos sympaticos in the back of my mind, but Don is basically Tony minus the killing and plus a ton more booze.

-Peggy is a great character. After the scene where Don calls out Ted for letting his emotions for Peggy dictate their work, my lady mentioned that Don does this to Peggy multiple times. He swept her pregnancy under the rug, but he still lords over her. Peggy often mixes business with pleasure, and Don doesn't like that. Only he is allowed to do that in his mind. 'The Suitcase' is obviously a touchstone episode for this show, hinting at the downward slope of Don and the rise of Peggy.

I don't think Don cares about any of the women he's been in a "relationship" with. But I do think he cares very much for Peggy. He doesn't have the Suitcase episode with her a few seasons back nor their dancing moment this last season if he doesn't care for her. Him calling Ted out was to help Peggy get her shite together because she couldn't see the potential to screw her up professionally and personally.
