The show has just sort of ran it's course. I don't believe it is heading anywhere grand for the finale, it is just finishing.
There are just too many story lines going on right now, none are too exciting and they have almost no tie-in to each other.

I think the strength in this episode was the Sally/Don scenes.

The Sally/Don storylines have been the only thing that's really kept me into the show after the long layoff.

Thought it was a great episode last night. Just love the dialogue all around, no line is ever wasted.

Season premiere last week was pretty mediocre, but episode 2 had me totally on board. The Sally/Don stuff was great, but I also liked the Dawn vs Avery scene a lot. Nice to see her stick up for herself.

Season 7, or the first half of season 7 I guess was just great. Strong strong strong writing and of course fantastic characters. The way the show incorporates major events is always a treat. The moon landing was captured magically.

I'll echo those that think Sally and the Sally/Don stories are the strength of the show. Sally has continued to be one of my favourites characters from the start.
