I thought I heard them say there are just 5 episodes left.
They aired the first half of the Final Episodes last year and rounding them off with these to end it. I expected more than 6 though.

Not altogether. Plus those things didn't happen around the same time.Excuse me if I'm wrong but didn't Joan sleep with the guy for the Jaguar contract, and then that's when Don screwed it up and that action resulting in him getting fired suspended.
The last time Rachel and Don had any kind of serious conversation, he begged her to get on a plane and fly away with him. She recoiled from him back then in disgust. And then ten years later, she shows up in a dream, after her death (and Don has a history of seeing ghosts, remember), to point out to him that he missed his flight. He’s still stuck in this slowly deteriorating life he built. And how does he respond to this? With ad copy, because that’s all he knows. “Rachel, you’re not just smooth, you’re Wilkinson smooth.” He can’t even connect with one of the loves of his life in a dream.
The 42nd Parallel is a novel about ordinary Americans struggling to fit in with the times. I found it very telling that the waitress's name is Diana, the goddess of the hunt, fertility, and the moon. Don's trying to find his path forward through his Madonna-***** complex. Rachel, the Madonna of his life, and the diner waitress who called him D I C K back in S4, are both contained in Diana. She represents the uncomfortable realization that people contain multitudes. Don's unraveling is paralleling the unraveling in Vietnam, which has now spread to Cambodia.
Don's hookup at the diner with a woman he "knows" happened extremely quick and smooth even for the man himself. The waitress' disdain for Don shocks him back into reality and makes him question what really is going on. This same feeling is shown when he attends Rachel's wake, where he is religiously and emotionally out of place. Rachel's children were a reminder to Don that his many love interests had lives beyond his obsession.
This episode in particular had Peggy and Don start to examine hard truths in their lives and really question what is important. Peggy flirts with just getting up and leaving for Paris on vacation, but then quickly ends the night with Steve before things get too crazy - possibly seeing her finally finding a balance in her life. Don, on the other hand, still has not figured out his balance of life, and constantly mixes the two together in varying extremes. Sleeping with the casting girl and hallucinating Rachel while at an audition are two prime examples. I know many people thought the end of the the first part of this season had Don leaving on a high note, with Bert Cooper cheerily sining. However, just moments after Don learns the SC&P buyout will make him and his coworkers incredibly rich, Bert Cooper once again forces Don to question reality and his balance of life. His insistence that "the best things in life are free" is supposed to subvert Don's notion that being successfully back at work means his entire life is just as successful. From what we saw in tonight's episode we know that Don Draper is still very much in a low place and has little understanding of the best things in life.
Also, the reoccurring song that started and ended the episode is titled "Is That All There Is?," implying that there is more to the good life than many characters on the show (especially Don) fully know.
Good to know. I couldn't pinpoint it. I almost wanted to say further in to the 70sHuge time jump from episode 7.
Episode 8 is happening in late April 1970. (Nixon's speech on TV)
Didn't even know that was a thingI'm surprised they just skipped the rest of 1969. At least we are passed the Manson murders, so the "Megan is Sharon Tate" rumors can go away.
