Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 6 USERS: C+ YOU GRADE IT Beyond The Veil

But speaking of the day coming, Megan wakes up, squints into the sunlight pouring in through the balcony door, and sits up. After giving the viewing audience a little side-boob action, she steps into a robe and out onto the terrace...
...and then we cut to her walking out onto the beach, where she sees the wedding ceremony happening, and apparently Dinkins managed to pour a pot of coffee down not only his own throat but Galloway's as well, as they're both in uniform seeming at least minimally functional. Seeing Don in the tableau, Megan snaps a photo, and I really wonder what the accompanying update would be if Twitter existed here.
Cut to New York, where Pauline, Betty (looking thinner but not nearly back to her model body), Sally, and some girl around Sally's age are watching The Nutcracker, if the accompanying music is any indication. Sometime later, Betty has just been pulled over, and Pauline wonders what moving violation she committed. Declining to answer, Betty hands her license to the officer and apologizes, saying that it's hard to see (it does look quite cold, and defrosters weren't what they are now). The officer replies that going more slowly might have been a good idea, then, so Pauline gets involved, all "Do you know who she is?" about the whole thing. The officer isn't impressed with Pauline's sass, which only results in twice as much of it, and as the girls giggle in the back seat, Pauline instructs the officer to issue "a stern warning" and let them be on their way. The officer replies that he's merely trying to avoid taking them off the road with a shovel, one of the more graphic of the 3,495 death references in this episode, but he does take off without issuing a ticket, although not without muttering that Betty was driving "like a maniac." Sally then laughs that she hates cops, but Pauline surprisingly says the guy was just doing his job. She then says the whole incident ruined the evening, and she can't imagine it getting darker than this, whereupon Sally's friend "Sandy" pipes up that her mother is dead. Even Betty joins in on the giggling at that one, which is pretty hilarious...
...and then we cut to Henry, who's sitting with Bobby on the couch with Gene playing at their feet when the women arrive home. No sooner have they all sat down before Bobby runs off, leaving Sally to gleefully tattle that "Betty" got a ticket, and Pauline chimes in that she'd like Henry to tell "your wife" that mentioning his name to a state trooper is acceptable policy. Henry protests that it barely works for him, and then Bobby returns with a violin case belonging to Sandy, apparently. Sally dismissively tells "you little weirdo" to put it back, but he says he likes the case. "It looks like a coffin." I mean, when even Bobby is getting in on the death imagery, I think it's safe to announce that WE GET IT. Henry asks Sandy if she'd play a little, and when Sandy balks, Betty smiles and adds her own request. "It makes me feel so much." Sandy silently assents even as Sally proclaims the pressure they're putting on her "disgusting" before telling Pauline that Sandy is going to Julliard next semester. Pauline's suitably impressed, and then after it's established that she's fifteen (which is a year older than Sally), Sandy gets up and plays. I couldn't tell you if she's any good, but everyone seems into it; Henry and Bobby particularly seem enthralled. Don't worry, I'm not the only one who noticed.
