22. I think that's what is was supposed to be ...

Valerie Rios Brassar: Remember the hippy girl at the front desk while Don was in the retreat? She told him it would take him a few days to leave by car. She had these bright red ribbons in her hair and two braids. Watch the Coke commercial again. 50%; of the girls in that coke commercial have the same bright red ribbons in their hair and two braids. It's something Don clearly remembers to put into his coke add idea. I love when the camera closes up on his face and you know he's come up with something great
.

Erin K Gilmore: At first I thought he became a hippie, then I realized... He made the Coke commercial! That was his "Om" moment, the idea came to him and he went back to do bigger and better things in the advertising world. Don Draper lives on! Perfect ending.


Ellen Mack: Don smiles as he comes up with the song for Coke!


Mubaarik Sulaimaan: Don accepted who he is, returned to McCann and helped make the famous Coca Cola commercial, Classic.


Katy Wiedrich Williams: The coke ad was put out by McCann ( in real life) he heeded Peggy's advice and came home, only with a really great idea.


Victor Ceja: Peggy mentioned "don't you want to work on coke?", Don smiles then the series ends with the coke hilltop commercial. I think he definitely went back to work and made the commercial
