Don's lying in bed when a woman's hand brushes his forehead -- he thinks it's Megan, but it's actually Andrea. And I didn't mention this in the recap, but it's still day outside when it was clearly night in the show's reality. Presumably, it's so Don wouldn't think it's weird that Megan's not home yet, but it does give away that something funky is going on. Anyway, Andrea tells him he left the back door unlocked, and obviously, if it were real, this would be some Fatal Attraction-level shit with her sneaking into Don's house unconcerned that Megan might be there, and then she tells him she just wants it fast. Good idea, with him only having about twenty minutes to live and all. She asks if he remembers that night at Lincoln Center "when you took me back to the loading dock. Your wife was waiting inside." And as much as this may be a fever dream, I'm sure we're meant to know that that memory is real. Oh, Don. No wonder Bobbie Barrett heard stories about you. Anyway, memories of the loading dock are apparently too hot for Don's defenses, and he kisses Andrea passionately and rolls on top of her.
From here, we get a close-up of a paper that lets us know the nurse killer eluded a police dragnet, and we see it's in Sally's hands -- she's been reading it under her covers with a flashlight and now looks genuinely freaked. Well, you may not like Pauline, but you can't say she didn't warn you.
