On the couch, Sally inquires if she can ask Don something, and Don replies, "Yes, I'm still mad at you." Heh. However, Sally wants to know what Don's involvement with Faye is, astutely pointing out that Faye knew Don had peanut butter in his cabinet and also that she said she wanted to meet Sally, so Don explains that he does like Faye, but they also work together and he mentions Sally a lot. He then asks if she likes Faye, and Sally tells him she seems nice, but when Don offers that maybe she'll get to see her again sometime, Sally's like, "Oh," in a "Great, another step-parent" tone. Before any further awkward discussion can ensue, however, the pizza arrives, and I'll leave it to you to decide which of them is the happier to see it.
Joan and Roger are walking because Roger thought it was such a nice night, but Joan warily says she doesn't like the neighborhood so much anymore, and her instincts are proven correct when a guy comes out of nowhere and pulls a gun on them. Roger proves he can be pretty smart sometimes when he looks at the sidewalk and gestures for Joan to do the same, and then hands over all their valuables, with the only significant and understandable pause coming when Joan has to give up her wedding ring. She goes through with it, however, and when the mugger is gone, Joan says she wants to scream in a voice that sounds like she's going to hyperventilate, which would make for an interesting on-screen performance indeed. However, we get a different type of audiovisual entertainment, as Roger hurries her around a corner so she can calm down, and after he assures her that everything can be replaced, she kisses him. Once they pull away, they take a moment to process that, but then he goes for it and she tells him not to stop, and soon they are adding their names to the long list of people who have had public sex in New York City. Good thing she got mugged for her ring so the symbolism would be spot-on!
