Most recent episode was a high point of not only this season, but the entire series. Really good stuff.
[spoiler] I don't think Peggy will leave the show entirely, they have built up her character so much, so she certainly isn't disposable as characters like Betty or Sal. If she truly does leave SCDP, I think it'll follow her at the new company and bring them more into focus as far as a rivalry goes. Could introduce a whole new dynamic to the show next season.
As for what happened. It's interesting to think that Joan just thought Don was trying to play the good guy and that he was in on it just as much. Pretty clear that Don was really disgusted by it, though. His reaction when he realizes she did it is one of the best moments of the show. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Don dealing with Peggy and what his fellow partners pushed Joan into doing, Roger and Bert being dead weight, Pete's ruthless ambition, and Lane ripping the company off. Plus several other interesting story-lines they've built up, especially Don feeling threatened creatively by Ginsberg. It's really impressive how they keep building this show up into more. [/spoiler]
