...but that's probably not enough, as Allison brings herself to open the envelope. Inside is a card with two fifty-dollar bills and this note: "Thanks for all your hard work." Now, of course he probably wrote this before the incident the night before, and of course the cash is best, as she won't have to pay taxes on it. Still, if she's not in the shower tonight desperately trying to scrub the feeling like a hooker off her, I'm missing a big bet. She starts typing on a fresh sheet of paper, and I hope it's not a resignation letter but if it is you could hardly blame her. And speaking of sexual regrets...
...Peggy has Done It with the fetus. He asks if she feels different, but I'm more wondering whether she felt anything, especially during. She doesn't answer him, but her haunted expression after she rests her head on his chest probably tells us everything we need to know. So...
...let's go back to Don, and by the way, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," the creepiest, most inappropriate Christmas song in existence, is playing here just to emphasize how screwed-up the decisions everyone's making are. Don finishes a drink at his desk, and we cut to him leaving the office, the stack of presents for his kids balanced precariously in one hand. He walks down the hallway, and I hope we all recover from this episode by the time Christmas actually rolls around. See you next week!
