...and, after listening and knocking at the Rosen back door, she uses the key and enters. She sees the letter on the counter across the room, tempting her like something out of Alice In Wonderland (right, Danny?), but when she goes to retrieve it, she catches sight of Don and Sylvia, well, bringing action back to the maid's room. Sally's so stunned she drops the keys, and when Don and Sylvia look up, it's a close race as to who looks more horrified. After a moment of shock all around, Sally grabs the keys (but not the letter) and hightails it out of there, and Don tries to follow, but of course he has to put himself together first. Meanwhile, Sylvia, like, collapses on the bed in panic, because of course she does. Don's search for Sally takes him up to his apartment and down to the lobby, but proves fruitless, as she's escaped in a cab. Don looks sweaty and ashen as he uncertainly walks out to the street, and for once, drugs and alcohol aren't involved.
Pete arrives home, pours a little Raisin Bran into a bowl, and angrily throws the box into the Pullman kitchen when he sees it's empty. Pete, if you were with Benson, your Raisin Bran would always be kept lovingly overflowing. (I don't think that was dirty, but I'll apologize nonetheless.)
Peggy sits smoking on her couch, an orange rat-catching (presumably) tabby by her side. Start the clock -- as Peggy's mother would be happy to tell you, she's now got 39 years to live. (I can never not link to that video.)
Ted arrives home and in his bedroom, his two boys are watching TV with Nan asleep on the bed, a book atop her. He beckons to them to be quiet, but carries the younger one out on his shoulders as the older one follows...
...and after a shot of Don drinking alone in a bar...
...he's stumbling home. Once he negotiates the door, Megan's voice calls out, and he teeters in to find her, Sally and Julie sitting at the table eating. Megan kisses him and then is like, WOW, boozebag, and having already gotten a hateful glare from Sally, he says he's going to lie down, but Megan insists he eat something first. He's barely sat down, though, before the doorbell rings -- it's Rosen and Mitchell. Sally tries to excuse herself, but Julie won't let her, and then Rosen and Mitchell appear, and Mitchell holds out a hand and thanks Don for what he did. Good start, kid, but you still need to cut that hair. Megan's in the dark, so Rosen tells her Don talked to someone on their behalf, and Sylvia is just overwhelmed with gratitude. Sally looks like she's considering making a run for the balcony railing rather than listen to this conversation, especially since she can't help but have concluded that Don only helped Mitchell because of his residency between Sylvia's legs. And Mitchell's probably read the letter by now. Sally holds it together until Mitchell and Rosen leave, but when Megan gushes that Don's the sweetest man, Sally stands, spits that she makes him sick and runs to her room. Megan looks to Julie for an explanation, but of course Julie has none to provide, so Don goes to talk to her as Julie tells Megan that Sally has a crush on Mitchell. You'd think, then, that Megan would give a little more thought as to what could be bothering Sally...
