In a cab, Sally's reciting facts about the Philippines, but Julie's more interested in discussing what Sally's going to do when Mitchell asks her to go all the way. Given some of the lines Sally's come up with over the years, I'm kind of interested myself, but Sally points out that Mitchell doesn't have any idea who she is. Julie, however, tells Sally that she took the "10 Things I Like" letter, signed Sally's name to it and slid it under the Rosen's back door. Sally's mortified, not least because it's going to look like she's so in love she couldn't keep her handwriting straight, but Julie assures her she'll thank her. Maybe, but are you going to care to hear it if she's already killed you?

Sally comes rushing back into the building, and the fact that she's alone lends support to my theory that Julie's parents are going to be getting some bad news. She stammers to our favorite doorman, who's just begun his shift, that she doesn't have her key, and he asks in a hilariously lugubrious tone of voice - the kind you'd use on a five-year-old who misplaced his lunchbox -- if she lost it already, but does give up his master set, AGAIN! And here he just was lecturing the departing doorman on protocol. Sally rushes into the elevator, and as the doorman repeats his cheese-tastic line about high-fashion models to an elderly woman and her maid, Sally looks for the key that's the true object of her errand...

...and, after listening and knocking at the Rosen back door, she uses the key and enters. She sees the letter on the counter across the room, tempting her like something out of Alice In Wonderland (right, Danny?), but when she goes to retrieve it, she catches sight of Don and Sylvia, well, bringing action back to the maid's room. Sally's so stunned she drops the keys, and when Don and Sylvia look up, it's a close race as to who looks more horrified. After a moment of shock all around, Sally grabs the keys (but not the letter) and hightails it out of there, and Don tries to follow, but of course he has to put himself together first. Meanwhile, Sylvia, like, collapses on the bed in panic, because of course she does. Don's search for Sally takes him up to his apartment and down to the lobby, but proves fruitless, as she's escaped in a cab. Don looks sweaty and ashen as he uncertainly walks out to the street, and for once, drugs and alcohol aren't involved.
