I think that would be the last reason for Betty not to divorce Don. She is very self-centered and she wouldn't do anything "for the kids." The only thing that would make her stay in that marriage is if she thought it would look unseemly for her to divorce. Appearances are everything for Betty.

Oh, I agree. But the pretext of doing it for the children is the most respectable way to go, as far as appearances. If Betty stays, things will be very different, and she'll have a lot more power in the relationship.

Betty doesn't strike me as being powerless. I think she wears the pants in that relationship. Last season, when she asked Don to leave, he didn't argue with her, he just left. And, the only reason she took him back was because she was pregnant.

'I See A Man Who Is Not Happy!!'
Sunday Brings The Third
MAD MEN Season Finale!!

I am - Hercules!!

"I don't love you!!"

"I'm deeply disappointed, Don!!"

"Daddy!!"

"Sterling Cooper is for sale!!"

"What if this is my time??"

"You are in over your head!!"

"Everything's going to be fine!!"

"How do you know that??"

From Variety, Oct. 22, 2008:

HERC: What will be the date on Don Draper's desk calendar when season three begins? Will we miss seeing Peggy's reaction to the Kennedy assassination or The Beatles' arrival in New York?

"MAD MEN" MASTERMIND MATTHEW WEINER: I'm going to say that I don't know, because it's really true. And I love that they're excited about another season because I don't even know what it is yet. But I know one thing, which is that I think everybody's seen enough of the Kennedy assassination. I know I have. It's certainly going to affect the show and their lives and I guess we'll see their reaction. But I definitely don't want to go through that dramatically. It's probably the most dramatized event that I've experienced in my life, at least for my age. It's something I've seen over and over and over and over again. As I writer, I don't really know what I could add to it. But it will affect these people's lives; you know I'm going to take it seriously. I just don't really see us coming up on that.

Turns out Weiner had something to add to the volumes already written about the Kennedy assassination after all! Some people, we're reminded, must have rented churches and ministers the weekend of Nov. 22, 1963.

And the event reminded that the future is a slippery thing. Elizabeth Hofstadt Draper decided to follow her bliss with a Rockefeller aide. And Roger Sterling pushed his new young wife's arm away to have a conversation with married ex-girlfriend Joan Holloway.

Tonight:

3.13 "Shut the Door and Have a Seat"
Don has a meeting with Connie; Betty gets some advice; Pete talks to his clients.

To anticipate the question, Emmy-magnet "Mad Men" has been renewed for a fourth season.

I'm so excited for the finale but still sad that it's going to be gone for so long

Don's going to get what he wants and Betty is going to remain a miserable unhappy kept housewife! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The only thing that could have made that better would have been for Sal to come back!

So... Betty just dumps her kids with the housemaid for 6 weeks so she can fly to Reno with her boyfriend to get a divorce? AT CHRISTMAS? This bitch just became my most hated character on TV.
