Sure, we learned that Don will continue to sport impeccably tailored menswear and guzzle Canadian Club while the sun's still out, but we kinda figured that would be the case.
Otherwise, humanity as we know it would have come to a screeching halt during filming.
Today, the first trailer for Mad Men season 7B (Ugh, enough with the split seasons, AMC!) hit the web, and in a very un-Matthew-Weiner-like move, it seems the show's creator has actually deigned to offer some hints as to what may be in store for the folks at Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price, Cutler, Gleason, Chough, Dewey, Cheatem & Howe:
First, there's the choice of music. The song is "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross, and in addition to the fact that it's probably being in Weiner's back pocket since day one (Could there be more Draper-appropriate lyrics?), it's significant the single was released in 1976.
Mad Men's final episodes were expected to take place in 1969, and while the show has used anachronistic music in the past (The Decemberists weren't around in the Kennedy years, we looked it up.), many are theorizing that the use of such a quintessentially '70s tune may indicate a time jump.
Other noteworthy details:
Megan's stomach is incredibly taut. Expect a subplot where she invents Activia.
Sterling has finally made a concession to the style of the era and grown his hair out a bit. His over-sexed smugness, however, remains unchanged.
Speaking of coifs, Pete's hairline continues its slow march toward the back of his neck, because he's a terrible person, and that's what happens to terrible people.
Of course, the big question that remains is: Will Don continue to hit the skids (and the bottle), or steam roll into the Feel Good Decade with a wacky pitch about an emotional Native American who hates litter?
We won't find out until April 5, but until then, you can watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic to stave off the DTs.
Don broke down and showed his human side after learning about the death of a friend. We're sure the final season will hold many more emotional moments for Don.
The End.
