Don't know how long it's been, but Suzanne finally gets out of the car, and I wouldn't feel nearly as bad for her if she didn't have to lug her overnight bag as well as her emotional load. But it's an age-old story -- he went in for a pack of cigarettes and never came back. Meanwhile, Don's brushing his teeth in his pajamas, and when he's done, he takes a moment to wonder whether he dares believe Betty finding out the truth might not end up so bad. I hate to have to opine that the jury's still out on there.
The next morning, Don wakes up to find Betty gone. He sees two suitcases standing on the floor, but I think they might be hers from the trip and she just didn't have time to unpack. He takes another look at his no-longer-secret pictures, and then goes to get dressed...
...and then he comes down into the kitchen, where Betty asks if he wants something to eat. He uncertainly asks if she's having something, but Bobby interrupts to ask Don if he's coming trick-or-treating with them. He says he is, of course, and then steps forward and puts his hand around Betty's head, and while she doesn't give anything back she doesn't resist, either. He then makes a point of kissing each of his kids, including the baby, before telling Betty he'll see her that night, which she again neither acknowledges nor denies. And here I thought the Draper household couldn't get much more taciturn.
