Or did you mean the actual last episode after a few more seasons?

With this first episode of the new Mad Men season aired, we have seen the turning of the styles towards mod but also towards the harvest colors that will eventually take over the fashion, interior and appliance design worlds like a virus destroying it's host. Also, Don Draper can't keep his secrets from the industry for ever, so I expect him to end up selling custom phone plans prior to the Bell System divestiture in late 1983. Or maybe he turns to selling radio advertising time. Something like that. With really wide lapels. And a white belt. Not that I think Don Draper will become Herb Tarlek, but by 1972 a business man had few choices in off-the-rack suits that did not look like they had been near an explosion at a colored line factory.

On the other hand, I will be eagerly watching the hem lines rise on the dresses.

Also, in 1973, after an embarrassing expose in the press, Don Draper, sans Meagan (and half his wealth), lives out the rest of his life cheaply building hot rods/managing a restaurant/selling cars in Huntington Beach.
