In response, Walsh claims to be quoting Tecumseh when he starts chanting - my closed captioning reads "Heya howa howa" - to which Roger replies, "I had forgotten that." Hee. Everyone rises, and after Walsh tells them this is an opportunity - "the heavens are telling us to change" - and Roger makes a wink-wink reference to Mapother's time on Lost, the meeting breaks up. Ginzo trails behind Walsh and asks if he really talked to Dr. King's ghost - he actually sounds genuinely interested - and Stan follows along to see the show, leaving Roger to explain that he owed Walsh, as he talked Roger "off a roof" once. If he's being literal, I'd imagine acid was involved, which makes sense from every angle. Don says he just wants to go home, and when Roger tells him someone's going to do Walsh's idea, Don's not playing: "Not us." Roger exits, and Don packs up quickly...
...because he's got an urgent date with some booze and his TV, the latter of which is showing grim scenes from D.C. with commentary that the firefighters haven't been able to handle the sheer volume of calls. The phone then rings, and Megan calls from the other room that it's Betty, and Don's supposed to pick up the kids. Don winces, but grabs the phone and asks if Betty really wants the kids in the city at the moment. Betty's unimpressed, though, and tells him that Don gets out of every opportunity to see them. "You don't even know how strange they're acting." Don points out that the news is very upsetting, but Betty replies that Don forgetting about them is too before finishing with this whopper: "I guarantee you'd go to Canada on your knees to pick up your girlfriend." Extra points for "forgetting" that Don and Megan are married, and Don bitterly puts the phone down before announcing that he's going to get the kids. Considering he downs the rest of his drink in one gulp, Betty, you might have done better to leave him be. Megan emerges in a bathrobe and remarks that Betty's a piece of work, and Don gives her a look that's like, no argument here...
