However, it doesn't take long for him to start asking her personal questions; she's from Montreal originally, and came to New York because "for an artist, it's Mecca." Okay, I take back what I said about not being overly bothered -- with this closer camera setup, those chompers are taking up half the screen, so you'll forgive me if I don't get more than a bit of Megan telling Don how she's an artistic person and whatever, and then she giggles about how she knows everything about him and has him on her mind all day, and yet he doesn't know the first thing about her. And look, she does a pretty artful job of seducing him, but I'm really starting to worry that THE TEETH are coming for me, so let's wrap this up: She ends up kissing him, and while he tells her he can't make any mistakes at the moment, she replies that she only wants him now, and backs that up by assuring him that she's not going to come in crying the next day. And not that I didn't like Allison, but that was hilarious, especially given that Megan was in that stupid focus group. Anyway, they settle in...
...while on a different couch, Jane is waiting when Roger arrives home. He tries to blow by her into the bedroom, claiming he's exhausted, but she has a surprise for him - a box of bound copies of his book. I was wondering at first if she had them done herself, but the back cover has an artist's rendering of him, which I can't imagine anyone but an actual publisher would bother doing. Still, I wonder whom he got to put it out. Jane asks Roger to personalize it, which he does in an extremely mechanical manner, even though he signs it for his "loving wife." She puts her arms around him and tells him she's so proud, but he, knowing how little there is actually to be proud of, merely looks forlorn and lost, much like a little boy who likes chocolate ice cream but is only allowed to eat vanilla. (I will never get tired of referencing that.)
Megan and Don are done and getting dressed, and he asks, "You want to grab a bite?" Do you have a death wish, man? She tells him that what she wants is for him to go home and sleep and not drink any more tonight, and he kisses her before taking off, with her even addressing him as "Mr. Draper" before he leaves. Now that is a secretary who may make it here.
