I think Betty is slowly moving towards being Helen. Remember in S1 when Betty said "That John F Kennedy. I hate him." because she associated JFK with Helen and divorce and the liberation she fears. Now Betty is mourning Kennedy. You're right that Betty won't jump without a safety net and Henry has offered her that. But I hope something goes wrong and Betty ends up divorcing Don while losing the Henry option too.

Don/Betty shippers *sigh* So many of them are hating Betty for not rolling over for Don. It's like some people really think Don deserves to keep Betty as his trophy wife despite all the lies and the cheating and the oppressing. Because Don is sooo handsome and Don's angst is so profound and Don deserves to be happy more than Betty does, apparently.

Ha! Macbethian Pete and Trudy! I love how Trudy changed from "Sweetheart, we must go to the wedding and kiss a little ass" to being all badass and saying "Peter, I want you to screw your bosses like the bitches they are." But I agree with port that I didn't find Pete/Trudy villianous. I think they are disillusioned and rebellious and this is a comeuppance that Sterling Cooper richly deserves.
