By the time the realization occurs, Rachel has been seduced by Don Draper, betrayed by Don Draper, abandoned by Don Draper, and written out of the television show about Don Draper, soon to be replaced by a dozen roughly equivalent mistresses whom Don disappoints in roughly identical ways. Don will try to quit drinking many times (and fail), try to quit having mistresses many times (and fail), try to come up with good advertisements (and succeed), and flash back, with alarming regularity, to his childhood in a whorehouse, which supposedly explains everything about his problems with women, except for why all the men around him (who were not raised in whorehouses) treat women the same way.
