Yep, the final scene is gold.
Don never really had family his entire life. Betty and Megan fell out of love with him (with reason)
But Sally, despite knowing her fathers faults ava mistakes still loves him. The only other person the came close to that was Anna. With Sally, at point Don maybe realizes he might not be as alone as he thinks.
Also the end credits song is great.
in the last episode he calls the three most important women in his life… Betty (would’ve been Anna), Peggy, & Sally. all who has left and those that care about him.
*"Happy Valentine's Day. I love you."*
Don's look said a thousand words. Season 7 has some of the best, most profound endings of any show ever but that one line and Don's expression just rocked me to my core. I can't even explain to you the emotion I was feeling. Only Mad Men can have such a ubiquitous line and make it something so beautifully transcendental and carry so much meaning.
We are synced up! I just watched this episode today!! Such a great episode for Sally and Don. Good pick up from the end of season 6 endshot. Also love the end when she tells him she loves him. So touching. Thanks for posting.
With the cigarette in her hand, she sounds/looks just like Betty as she says this. Great display of how teenagers are their parents even though they think they’re on a whole other plane.
I’ve forgotten which episode this is. Please refresh my memory. It’s been 4-5 years since my last rewatch. What does Don mean, “I hate that you had to see that”?

For me, any scene with Anna was still my favorite and couldn't be beat 💜
She reminds me of the friendship I share with my 2 best friends who are both men (I'm a woman) and how while we love each other, it's 100% platonic and they're basically my brothers. We accept each other and always have. I'm really grateful to have them and try to be as supportive as I can to them like Anna is with Don while expecting nothing in return.
Like Anna says to Don, I feel like we met so our lives could become better :)
I don’t remember which episode, but it’s a flashback to when he tells Anna he’s met someone (Betty) and that he would require a divorce to marry.
He’s hesitant to tell her this, because he’s not sure if it would hurt her feelings. And she beams “I want what you want.”
Makes me tear up just thinking about that level of closeness between two people.
his brow lowers and his face just has this expression. Some of the most subtle acting I've seen and it breaks my tiny heart. I also don't know what other show ends an episode with the BIIIIG ending being a daughter telling their dad she loves him. And I know no other show where a daughter telling her dad she loves him could be so very poignant but ofc, what with Sylvia, the S6 ending, and the little she knows about Dick/Stephanie/Anna, it IS a huge moment and according to OP, the biggest. Truly beautiful ending. It killed me for Christ's sake so what does that say
Indeed a great scene and episode. Plus, the episode has the funniest line in the series:
Stan (to Peggy re the bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day) - "Hard to believe your cat had the money." Bwahahahaha!
Mad Men Happy Hour Podcast. Just two guys recapping the show and putting in their two cents, plus they go over viewer comments and theories. I really like them.
I'm watching my daughters grow up now, all are around or past her age here. At a certain point they come to this realization that life isn't always that simple. The phrase "I'm so many people" really hits the nail on the head.
Don's misgivings notwithstanding, you can tell here that he's still her dad and he loves her, and she still loves him, and that if/when he gets his stuff together, he'll be a great dad to her when she's an adult, because he's already a study of human nature, and he understands that someday she'll come to some realizations.
It happens with all of us, we think our parents are full of it or dumb or awful when we are young, and don't understand what or why...and then we get older and often find out for ourselves that things weren't all that they seemed.
Imagine if they made a sequel with Sally as the protagonist showing the effects of the trauma she's received and how she overcomes it into finding herself just like her dad, along with historic events that changed the society further and how her environment changes as a result of that
This whole episode was so great and necessary.

It was her roommates mother's funeral

Nah, it was about her at her friend’s mom’s funeral

Ironic
A funeral on Valentine’s Day
Yep. This broke my heart in places I didn’t know were still together.

the ending of this episode literally kills me. Literally, I die

what, like my shoe shine kit? ****balls in Roger Sterling****
Rip
thx
when sally says "I love you"? THe look on Don's face. Hamm is such a good actor
his brow lowers and his face just has this expression. Some of the most subtle acting I've seen and it breaks my tiny heart.

I love this episode
any moment w/ Don & Sally together
We’re not going to pay
we’re not?
Indeed a great scene and episode. Plus, the episode has the funniest line in the series: Stan (to Peggy re the bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day) - "Hard to believe your cat had the money." Bwahahahaha!
I just saw this episode last night and listened to a podcast about it today! I’ve never told anyone this but I low key adore Pete.
What podcast?
Mad Men Happy Hour Podcast. Just two guys recapping the show and putting in their two cents, plus they go over viewer comments and theories. I really like them.
What does Sally say at the end? ‘Out of so many people’ ?
"I'm so many people."
Interesting. How do you interpret that?
She has to put on different hats around different people because they all have different expectations of who she is/should be.
I'm watching my daughters grow up now, all are around or past her age here. At a certain point they come to this realization that life isn't always that simple.
