...and we cut to Don finding the penny waiting for him under the mat, and it's hard as such not to recall the time Madchen Amick referred to him as her "bad penny." He does always come back to being a dick. Sylvia opens up, and after some preliminaries that aren't worth discussing, they're settling onto the poor maid's bed in much the same way Megan and Rod did. Don pauses, though, to tell Sylvia to take the cross around her neck off, like that's a reasonable request, although it is an instance of a joke I made about Don being more influential than God coming disturbingly close to the truth. She doesn't comply, so he asks what she does when he leaves -- get on her knees and pray for absolution? Sylvia's unfazed: "I pray for you. For you to find peace." She holds her hand to his face, and he shuts his eyes for a moment, but then turns her cross so it hangs down Sylvia's back, out of sight. They then proceed to get on with it, and while Sylvia's praying, she might throw in a request for me to care about this plotline. See you next time.
