When you first see her (Don's POV), you could easily mistake her for her old stylish, carefree, bohemian self. She does, in fact, "look good." But when you see her very briefly from behind, you can see just how flimsy the manic pixie dream girl facade has gotten. She's desperate enough to devise an elaborate "funny meeting you here" plot, complete with prop portfolio, but she's blind to the rest of it. She probably dressed carefully for this encounter, too - the jaunty beret, the necklaces, the cardigan - but was just too fried to look at anything other than her immediate head-on reflection in the mirror. So much of the nightmare of addiction is the fallout caused by short-term thinking...her hair being tangled in just that spot was so tragically realistic to me.
