Previously on Mad Men: Betty met Henry from the Governor's office when he copped a feel on her preggo belly, Don told Duck to go duck himself because he's doesn't have no stinkin' contract, Don and Roger broke up at Roger and Jane's Derby Day party, Don and Sally's teacher have some kind of weird flirtation thing going on, Peggy wonders if it's her time, Conrad Hilton thinks Don might be the ad man for him.
Peggy is naked in bed with someone.
Betty lays on a tufted chaise, staring at the ceiling.
Don inches painfully up from the floor of some random hotel room, his nose bloodied.
Dapper Don Draper readies himself for work. This is new - we've jumped back in the story timeline. Good thing I got used to this on Alias. Betty's decorator has redone the living room, and aside from the end table and lamp, (which should go to the other end of the couch) Don thinks it's fine. I think it's fabulous, especially the black and white chairs. "And what goes here?" Betty asks, motioning in front of the fireplace. "That's your hearth, darling. That's the soul of the home," the decorator responds incredulously.
Don and Roger talk in the elevator about David Ogilvy's new book, Confessions of an Ad Man. Roger will send over the galleys for Don to read. Don reaches his office and finds a flurry of activity - Sal, Paul, Harry and Pete are hovering around his secretary like flies. He berates her for not sending them off, but stops when she manages to interject Conrad Hilton is waiting in his office. He shoos the fellas off, telling them to be back in 20. He opens the door to his office, telling Allison (hey, his secretary has a name!) to hold all his calls. The deadpan look she gives him endears her to me greatly.
