The ring-admiring is still going on, and Joan tells the gaggle of girls around her that red and green are her colors, so they're going to have a Christmas wedding. "He doesn't know that yet." Heh. One of the secretaries tells Joan she'd be happy to cover Don's desk for her, and Joan doesn't miss a beat as she replies, "You had your shot." Double heh. Joan then answers the phone and tells Don that Bobbie is on for him, and then closes the door and signals for the hen party to disperse...
...and inside, Don answers the phone to hear this: "Don, I want you to ask me how I am." At this point, I think he's already done enough research to have an informed opinion. She tells him that she and Jimmy sold Grin And Barrett, and they're going to make a pilot. He congratulates her, and she invites him to join her for a celebration. Don continues to baffle me by doing an uncharacteristic dance, asking why he would come and protesting that he's working. She suggests they call it a business meeting, but he says he doesn't want to "confuse this." Too late.
