After setting such a high standard all season, this one as a finale is a bit of a let down. I understand it is hard to stay on such a high level. This one does more of a set up for next season than a finale.
Don Draper goes completely crazy here as he gets a sentimental present from the now deceased first wife of the real Draper he divorced years ago. After her death from cancer, she leaves her engagement ring for Don. After enjoying Bachelorhood to the extreme this season doing more women this year than any other year, he immediately takes the ring and proposes engagement with Megan.
This sets up next season with lots going on. Don's second ex-wife, Betts, decides it is time to move out of their house to Rye, New York as her daughter is being friend ed by the same boy she used to baby sit in a earlier season. Considering his crush on her then, she suspects his motives with her daughter are not what they should be.
Drapers office is starting to settle into a new routine following the loss of the Lucky Strike account with Peggy & Pete driving new business. To me the biggest let down is Draper. When is Don (or Dick) going to realize that he is not happy in a stable relationship. Like Peggy, he is driven by work. When they were alone together this season, that drive is so much the same that Peggy does not give in to the Draper seduction rush.
Most of this show is up to the others, but to me Don's announcement is not a surprise, but the set up for yet another stupid blunder in the next season. The announcement is a let down from an otherwise great year.
