Even though it was wrong for him to lie to her, and to assume he could keep this huge part of himself locked up in a drawer forever without bothering Betty’s pretty little head about it.

As far as I was concerned, it was about time. For the first time in three seasons, I was glad that Don didn't bolt or try to talk his way out of the lie, when he went to their bedroom to continue the conversation that Betty had started.

Instead, he told Betty that the Army had made a mistake with their identities. “Those scenes were hard because for the second time this season, even though I knew Betty had every right to be feeling and acting the way she was, I found myself on Don’s side.
