** [[spoiler:The last scene: at long last, Don is happy.]] and before, there was an insecure man named Leonard who starts crying at the support group Don attends, Don comes over and hugs him while they shed tears.
*** The last half hour works on meta level as well because for the first time in his life Don is forced to stop running. [[spoiler: He makes a tearful confession to Peggy of all of his sins and then finally makes peace with his past in the ending.]]
*** Another meta example of heartwarming is from the actor who portrayed Leonard, Evan Arnold. An actor who had been around since the 80s in all sorts of bit parts, he's given a pivotal part in one of the most important scenes of one of the final episode for Mad Men and [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct he absolutely knocked it out of the park]].

* Joan holding hands with Roger ''and'' Don at the awards ceremony in "Waldorf Stories".



* Don and Peggy in "The Suitcase", once [[spoiler: Don stops acting like such an asshole. They steal each other's dinner at a diner, get drunk, and end up curled up on his office couch.

* Much of ''The Beautiful Girls'' with Sally and Don's interactions, Sally trying to show how much she wants to live with Don and Don trying to be a good father. The Rum French toast was awesome. A very subtle one is Don telling Sally they can only go to one place, and have to be at the office at noon. In the next scene, they arrive at the office just before 5 o'clock.

* Don buying Sally a dog after forgetting to bring her a birthday cake. Earlier in the episode, Rachel Menken had told him about the dogs her father kept as security for the store and how much she loved them, saying they were everything a girl needs sometimes. Someone to talk to.
