She's smart as hell, but her abilities lie in operations, not in accounts.

Excellent Post!
I also feel that they spoon fed us so much of the "Life not otherwise lived" theme - like we got it already and then they had to go and vocalize it.
The Joan /Peggy / Mcann scene was so cartoonish I have just been laughing thinking as if I could say those things to women today - would be awesome (and is awesome in the context of anonymous posting apps)
Overall Happy to be back, but also ready to wrap this ship up - Don't disappoint me weiner
