[quote=Anonymous]Don treats the women who are important to him harshly. Witness him with Dawn at the beginning of the ep on the phone.  Just about the only one he hasn't outright lashed out at when he's in a corner is Sally. I think that would be the writers signaling that he is beyond redemption if he did that. That he still manages to right his ship when dealing with her is about the only positive thing about his relationships with women.

I thought his scene with Roger was FABULOUS and sheds light on this dynamic. It had that same harsh character but was really a negotiation, and he was very very comfortable with it.  He and Roger, being equals on paper but Roger having more power at the moment, could speak that way to each other safely.  It made me wonder about whether he feels that women have power over him and when he snaps at them he's sort of expecting them to push back as Roger did. It's certainly what he loved about Megan at first (thinking of their fight/foreplay romps).

I must say I am not quite believing his arc in this ep. He sat in the workroom the whole workday, alone for half of it or more, doing what? Thinking what? And then took the offer?[/quote]
