Previously on Mad Men: Betty named baby Draper "Gene", Sally had reservations about baby Gene living in Grandpa's old room, Greg the Rapist was up for Chief Resident, Sterling Cooper was sold to Putnam, Powell and Lowell, Don told Pryce they bought Sterling Cooper because they do things better than PPL, Don told Roger everyone thinks he's an idiot this season.
Don turns the light off in Sally's room. She pleads that she's scared, and a compromise is brokered: if she cleans up her room, she can have a nightlight. Until then, he turns on her bedside lamp and sets it on the floor.
Mandatory meeting at Sterling Cooper. Mr. Hooker brings everyone to order, and Pryce informs all of Sterling Cooper(minus Ken Cosgrove, who's late) that PPL will be visiting tomorrow, Tuesday, with their visit continuing into Wednesday. Not so sincere apologies are offered for making everyone work on Wednesday, July 3, a day the office was to be closed. "They were unaware of the holiday," Pryce says. Riiiiiiiiiiight. Pryce wants everything shipshape and in Bristol fashion. The Americans give him blank looks, and the meeting is over. Cooper asks Don to join him and Roger in his office. Joan is mighty displeased with the turn of events, since as it turns out, tomorrow is her last day. Rapist Greg is finding out about his residency, and she's off to be a housewife. The secretaries try to figure out how to re-organize Joan's going away party.
Mr. Hooker informs Pete and Harry they will need presentations from them Wednesday morning. "And Mr. Kinsey, you might want to shave your beard," he continues. "What?! Who the hell are you people?" Paul shouts. "That was a joke," Mr. Hooker replies.
Cooper advises calm, and says they should see this like any major client meeting. "Fourth of July? Subtle," Don notes. Cooper has a theory that they're coming to see Don, as they've been watching his work closely. Cooper is of the opinion Don will be offered a dual Creative Director position over London and New York. They all trade banter, and Cooper says he hopes Roger and Don can keep up this pretense of congeniality. They both scoff, but Cooper tells them it's time to bury the hatchet, and they're going to do it at his barber shop. He calls and has his secretary set the appointment.
Pete bursts out of his office, screaming about the racket, and the cause of it is even worse than he could have imagined. Ken comes riding into the office on a John Deere 110 Lawn and Garden tractor with snow thrower and transparent vinyl enclosure - and key. He landed a "mastodon", and is all smiles over his new account. Sal and Pete try to rain in his parade with the news about PPL's visit, but Ken just gloats over landing the new account just in time.
Bobby shouts to Sally, "She's in here!' Betty rests on her bed with baby Gene. Bobby complains he's bored, and Betty tells him to "Go bang your head against a wall." "Mom!" "Only boring people are bored," she says sternly. Bobby asks sweetly to pet the baby, and is granted his request. But Sally won't even come in the room. Betty sends them off to play.
