The brilliance of the storytelling is in the subtext. What the characters do not say is often more important than what is actually said. Don berating Salvador for his transgresions by using an ad pitch ending with "limit your exposure" is discrete and ingenious. At the end of the episode where Don does not actually remember his daughter's birth, then Betty covers. What a stunning revelation as to Betty's desire to do whatever is necessary for a perfect home.

The timing of the scene with the fire alarm makes it unclear as to if the deed was actually done. I personally would like to see Don clean up his act and come clean to Betty about his past, but I guess that's why we all keep watching. ~Evie PS - When the HECK are we gonna see Pete and Peggy go head-to-head again????
