** Marie taking all of the furniture from Don's apartment for her daughter. A bitchy move for sure but Marie is practically the trope codifier for MagnificentBitch.

* In true MagnificentBastard fashion, Bert Cooper has another CMOA that's a complete reversal of the "Who cares?" moment in Season 1, when he oh so subtly blackmails Don into signing the non-compete contract ("Would you say I know something about you, Don? When it comes down to it, who's really signing this contract?") Just to put that in perspective, it means that Cooper took the information Pete gave him in season one and filed it away for nearly ''three years,'' saving it for when he actually needed to use it. ''This'' is what separates the Magnificent Bastards like Bert from the [[SmugSnake Smug Snakes]] like Pete.

* Kiernan Shipka was named one of ''TIME'' magazine's most influential teenagers of 2014 and the only actress on the list primarily known for TV. Keep in mind that it seemed like a shoo-in for Creator/MaisieWilliams to win, yet she got passed over for a lesser-known actress from a show not nearly as popular as ''Series/GameOfThrones.''
* Jon Hamm ''finally'' winning the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the show's final season in 2015, and getting the only standing ovation of any of the night's Emmy winners.

* Bert Cooper: "Mr. Campbell, who cares?"
* In true MagnificentBastard fashion, Bert Cooper has another CMOA that's a complete reversal of the "Who cares?" moment noted above, when he oh so subtly blackmails Don into signing the contract he'd earlier bragged about not having. "Would you say I know something about you, Don? When it comes down to it, who's really signing this contract?" Just to put that in perspective, it means that Cooper took the information Pete gave him in season one and filed it away for nearly ''three years,'' saving it for when he actually needed to use it.

** Cooper had previously used this on Don in "The Gold Violin", when he wanted Don to join the board of a new museum. It was nothing like as awesome as the aforementioned moment, though.



* Don's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQM8UKgt3QsIs The universe is indiferent]]" speech. The man is not an empty suit.

* Bert Cooper: "Mr. Campbell, who cares?": Bert completely deflates Pete's attempt at blackmailing Don over Don's stolen identity, by pointing out that it really doesn't matter, who Don "really" is, since Don is a great at his job.



** Also to spite Campbell, he promotes Peggy to Junior Copywriter, a great moment for both mentor and mentee.
