...and we cut to the semi-open kitchen with breakfast bar, at which a now-robed Don is serving food to young Gene, who looks to be around two and a rather younger friend of Sally's, I'm guessing, who's staying the weeken...oh, that's the new Bobby. Well, it's not the first time this role has changed hands, but this kid really looks rather different. Hopefully he can at least capture the last Bobby's Gumpiness. Sally then enters, still in her pajamas, and hands Don a gift while wishing him happy birthday, adding that they won't be there on his actual birthday. Given what happens, that's probably a good thing, at least from a Child Services-y point of view. Bobby pipes up that the gift is from all of them and when Sally urges Don to open it, he complies and discovers it's a shaving brush. Megan joins them, fully dressed, and compliments the gift, conspiratorially adding that Don needed one of those. Given that his stubble usually looks hard enough to nick a diamond, I can believe he goes through at least one of those a week. After some talk of going to the Statue of Liberty, Megan says she'll just have black coffee. Megan, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when you have an ill-conceived surprise party to plan! Regardless of such dietary irresponsibility, however, we take some time to look at the family appearing very happy...
