You went too far

I really love Mad Men, few can dispute that, but speculation to this degree disturbs me:

Don Draper - The Lost Years

OK, we know how utterly tormented Don is now, and it’s all attributed to his double identity.

But we also know this: when he was a car salesman (already leading his double life), he was all smiles and exuberance; with his secret friend Anna he continues to be all smiles and exuberance; and when he was wooing and first married to Betty, he was all smiles and exuberance. In all situations noted, Dick Whitman was living as Don Draper. He was all smiles and exuberance.

Something happened. There is a piece of the puzzle still missing. What happened in the lost years between then and now? I’m more and more convinced that Helen Bishop is a part of the puzzle. Convince me that I am wrong.

Especially this response:

I never thought of that connection. Could Glen be Don’s illicit seed?

And reply:

Ha! That actually briefly (very very very briefly) crossed my mind too. However, Don and Helen both have such narrow noses and Glen’s isn’t at all. He looks more like Harry Crane’s kid truth be told.

Really, now. Really?
