Well, it's a moot point now that it's the next morning, I guess. Pryce emerges, fully dressed and not a hair out of place, as you'd expect from an Englishman. He asks for a glass of water, and while Don goes to get it, declares that he should at least pay for his girl. Don says she cost twenty-five, and Pryce throws in an extra five, suggesting he did not have a bad time at all. Then again, compared to his wife, an appendectomy would seem like a thrill. Pryce says he should go and grabs his hat, but takes a moment to thank Don for the "welcome distraction." When he's gone, Don proceeds to rip off the bedclothes and collapse onto the bed Pryce was using, and I didn't get this on first viewing but I think Don put Pryce in his bedroom, and I'm guessing he didn't use the other one because that's where his kids sleep when they come to visit. But my speculation and his hangover aside...
...he's already in the conference room with Pete (nice work if you can get it, Kartheiser), Roger, Joan, and Harry when Pryce turns up with apologies for being late. After everyone settles in, Joan asks, "Shall we begin 1965?" We get a look at Don contemplating what that might bring for him, and then we're out.
