...but she's immediately relieved when Don asks her whom she can live without. After taking a moment to collect herself, she singles out Danny, "though he's kind of grown on me." I always thought he was hilarious, but I can see that he's kind of grown to fit in around there. Don tells her Pryce sent over some suggestions, and while there are a lot of names, the only ones we know are Danny and that other guy Bill who's had like one line the entire season. Peggy cautiously notes that that's a lot of people, and asks if they're going under, but he tells her no -- he just wanted her to know what's up in case they came to her. He then notes that she hasn't said anything about the letter, and she shows that despite all the turmoil, she'll always be ready to tell him what's what: "I thought you didn't go in for those kinds of shenanigans." They both smile at the callback, which is a nice moment of levity in an episode that could sure use it.

Betty's driving down the street when she just happens to catch sight of Sally, and when she observes her walk into a clearing and meet up with Glen, it is, as you can imagine, on. She bustles right over and asks what they're doing there, and after a deer-in-the-headlights moment, Glen drops the two sodas he's carrying and runs for minimum safe distance. She calls after him to stay away from Sally before manhandling her daughter out of there...

...and then, when they get home, Betty informs Sally they won't be going back for her bike. Sally, calmly enough under the circumstances, says that Glen is just her friend and they don't do anything, but Betty tells her that Glen is a Bad Kid, and she knows him better than Sally does. Sally: "You don't know him at all." Betty does not really have any idea what to say to that, given that whatever interactions she's had with Glen are inappropriate to discuss with children and adults alike, so she settles for telling Sally to go to her room. If speed-dial existed back in this time, I'm betting Dr. Edna would be on Betty's.
