'Mad Men' Season 7 Spoilers, Plot Recap: Don's Closure Scenes with Main Characters May Have Already Happened

With Don Draper on the road in the last episode – picking up a hippie hitchhiker along the way – and the season and series finale only two episodes away, fans who have their eye on the last episode are asking the inevitable question: Have they already seen the last time Don would interact with key characters of the show? Or will there be more in the last two episodes?

In the last episode, entitled, "Lost Horizon," Don left Manhattan and drove his Cadillac to Racine, Wisconsin, in an unproductive effort to "save" Diana. When that failed, he agreed to take a hitchhiker to St. Paul. Don's going west and all other indications point to him not coming back. The last scene saw Don driving towards the horizon, with David Bowie's "Space Oddity" as the soundtrack.

Fans are speculating how creator David Weiner will close out the series and how he will close off the story arcs of each of the characters. The answer could be that some of the closures happened already and fans might have just missed them. If anything, the right time to do this would be the next episode, in order to focus the finale on Don himself.

With Don on the road, it looks very difficult to put him in a situation where he would go one on one with the key players in the series—Peggy, Roger, Joan and Pete.

He already had an almost ideal closure scene with Betty in the last episode, where he talked to her about Sally and the boys, her life and her new adventure in returning to college. He said, "Knock 'em dead, Birdie." It was full of warmth and nostalgia and showed how things have changed for Don.

He had a warm drinking session with Pete – together with Joan, Ted and Roger – in the last episode after the failed pitch. He had memorable moments with Roger two episodes ago when they spent a night of drinking. And there was that seemingly realistic closure with Joan in the last episode at the elevator where they were making plans for lunch, "soon."

He had a conversation with Sally by the bus two episodes ago where she told him she wanted to leave everything behind and never be like him and Betty. He told her that whether she liked it or not, she was just like him and her mother. "You're a beautiful girl—it's up to you to be more than that," he said.

Don's last face to face with Peggy, two episodes ago, did not end well. While Peggy wanted an honest to goodness review of her performance, Don launched into a philosophical discussion about the important things in life – which did not include advertising. Peggy told him to write down all his dreams so she could "s—t on them." This begged for a more acceptable last encounter.

So while fans await the finale and how the show would close off the entire series, it's important to be alert and on focus. The scenes we are waiting for might just have already happened.
