MAD about Mad Men

[SmootSmack]

yeah I think pride wenteth before the fall, as they say.

I think though, as when he let Sal go, Don thought he was doing the noble thing for everyone involved. It could have been much worse in Don's mind had he not let Lane simply resign

Here's a question though, does this now open things up for Peggy to return possibly as a partner? And does Joan with her books-smarts become the Lane of the company?

You think Pete would have allowed Lane to stay on? He probably would have pressed for embezzlement charges and jail time. I can't imagine Lane ever being able to come forward with this in any situation where Pete might be able to lord it over him.

While Don cheated & lied in the past, he clearly has developed his own code of honor which seems to apply to others. And, really, since the break up with Betty, has he cheated?

But, yes, getting angry b/c someone falsified the signature of your false identity does seem a tad hypocritical ...
