Inside, Pete pays Manolo for a little extra time and tells him Benson was right about him, and Manolo agrees that Benson "is a wonderful salesman." Mm-hmm. Pete even gives Manolo a cash tip off the books and Manolo tries to refuse as the work is enough of a reward, but Pete insists. Manolo bows respectfully and withdraws, and while it's all very businesslike and straightforward, I wonder how Pete is going to remember it later.
Betty gets off the phone and calls for Sally in that someone's-in-trouble tone of hers right before Henry's voice announces that he's home. Sally enters the kitchen with attitude to match her mother's, as usual, and when Betty tells her that "Julie's" mom called to inform her she and Sally are the only girls going on an upcoming trip, Sally wonders what the problem is. Betty, however, forbids her from staying in a Midtown hotel "with all those boys," the presence of twenty-five-year-old "Miss O'Shea" notwithstanding. Henry enters and irritably wonders why they have a mansion if everyone's always going to be in the kitchen, and I hope this isn't leading to another role-play situation with Sally still in the room. She's going to be scarred plenty soon enough. Sally tells Betty fine, then -- she won't do Model UN, which by the way was Henry's idea, but Betty still won't give. Sally asks if she and Julie can't stay with Don, which gets a "You mean with no one," so I guess Betty wasn't kidding when she told Don she wasn't changing her life just because they slept together. Sally shoots back that at least Don supports her dreams and "he doesn't think I'm just a pain in the ass!" It's a classic play, pitting one parent against the other, but if I were Betty I'd go for a simple Lisa Simpson-esque "What are you basing that on?" Instead, Betty barks that Don's a real hero before snitting to Henry that diplomacy club is just an excuse to make out. If that were true, I'd think it'd be a lot more popular.
