Yeah, I had no idea that was a real place and an actual healing center. I actually feel a little bad now, because if it was real I'm sure people got something out of it. :/ I think because of the direction the show has taken before with those things, that's just what I jumped to. Also, I was so distracted by the other stuff I think I sort of overlooked the healing center parts. (And that may have been other people's problem, too.)
Ohh, so it was the real McCann too. That actually answers questions a lot of people were asking about the fact that they used a real ad! Though the concern was more claiming/implying Don did it - honestly, I'm fine with that. It's obviously not the real McCann anyway, so that's obviously not the real ad anyway. It's always been clear to me that the companies are meant to be stand-ins so they can use the names of actual brands, as well as their advertisements. Otherwise the real Lucky Strike people and Jaguar people would probably have a case for libel...
I know Betty wanted them to have maternal influence, and it also makes sense to me that she may have wanted to avoid Sally having to fall into that role - as she said in her letter to Sally, Betty knows Sally's meant for more than that. I just remember Betty's brother being very selfish, though IIRC his wife was okay, even apologetic of her husband. And it'd be good for them not to lose their only connection to Betty, too.
