The new Don Draper?

Has Don Draper turned over a new leaf? The latest episode of "Mad Men" has me thinking he may have started over. The only explaination I can think of is Megan... has all that french singing and those mod mini dresses paved way for a new and improved Mr. Draper? He's still a gin-swilling ad man who peppers the lightest conversation with exestential interjections. But gone are the affairs, the bitter remarks and I have yet to see any drunken weeping. I don't see how Matthew Weiner can continue Don's life until present day with this kind of behaviour. Don will have to make some fatal mistake; how will Don be able to look back on his life in the year 2013 if this new act continues? There will be no Bildungsroman! I prefer this virtuous Don, but the life of the show depends on his selfish need for fulfilment and validation. I just hope Megan escapes before she turns into fat Betty and her bags of Bugles.


Could this be a new leaf?
