Now, try this on for size (and keep in mind everyone I’ve told it to thinks it’s too far-fetched). I wonder if Betty’s “flings” are actually a figment of Betty’s imagination and if, in the end, we’ll find out she actually is insane and Don was right to force her into counseling during the first season. What if her conversations with the boy from last season, and this season with Henry Francis, never happened? Or only sort-of happened? It’s why Francis didn’t show up at her tea – because we saw what Betty hallucinates he said or promised, but the reality is, Betty’s child-like mind imagines fairy tail endings.
