What hasn't Don been through? He's been divorced twice; he's lost his first, "wife" Anna, Betty, a brother, and two business partners; he's been fired from SCDP then allowed back then made a millionaire. And that whole Dick Whitman thing? Not really a big deal, it turns out.
His career takes a sharp turn with the McCann-Erickson absorption, and it presents itself as a professional pinnacle; he could have had Coca-Cola, after all. He lasts for a very short time at McCann and just gets up and leaves a meeting. His destination? Anywhere but there. Don meanders for a while and in the finale, finds himself in California, where Anna's niece takes him to a retreat. After digesting the bad news about Betty and being left there alone, he appears to have a breakdown, then enlightenment. We leave Don Draper in the lotus position, a gentle "Om" and a smile on his lips.
