Of all the male characters on the show, Lane has been the most endearing for me. Basically a decent guy, it was heartbreaking to see him make such an irredeemable mistake. Of all the names to forge--how different it might have been had he forged Cooper's name. It was so sad to see Joan give him such a brusque brush-off. She seems to be smarting and nervous about last week's "sellout" and perhaps that explains her failure to ask Lane about something that had to have been bothering him deeply--why else would he be drunk at 9am? I though the dialogue between him and Don was masterful, some of the series' best writing. Don's assurance that "this is the worst part" shows a certain understanding on his part; however, Don's failure to understand how Lane (with an impossible wife and an abusive, nightmare father) will react to his dismissal shows up his very real blind spots with regard to the vulnerability of...
