Pete and Trudy watch a slow motion replay of Oswald's murder. "You're not going into work tomorrow," Trudy says. "Of course not, it's a National day of mourning," he replies. Trudy is on board now with the Sterling Cooper hate, and tells him he should start gathering his clients, they'll follow him wherever he goes.
Betty's back home. Francine has the kids. "I don't know where to begin," she tells Don. "I want to scream at you, for ruining all this. But then you try to fix it, and there's no point. There's no point, Don." He gets up off the couch. "You're very upset, I understand," trying to smooth things over as ever. "I don't love you," Betty replies. "Bets, don't. You're distraught." "It's true. But I don't love you anymore. I know that." "Stop it." "I kissed you yesterday. I didn't feel a thing." "You'll feel better tomorrow. You'll see." "You can't even hear me right now," she says. "You're right," he replies, and walks out of the room. Betty turns up the TV and flops on the couch.
Don heads to their dark bedroom and collapses in a chair with his head down.
Don is dressed for work. Betty and the kids are in their pajamas since there's no school to observe the funeral. Sally and Bobby say their goodbyes to Don, and Sally carefully watches the interplay between her mom and dad. Don and Betty part without saying a word.
Don walks into Sterling Cooper. All the lights are off and the place seems empty, but someone is typing. It's Peggy, who's trying to work on the Aqua Net ad. It's the one she just pitched with Paul not too long ago, with the two couples in the convertible. "Doesn't shoot until after Thanksgiving. We'll be OK," she says, seemingly trying to convince herself as much as Don. "What are you doing here?" Peggy asks. "Bars are closed," Don mutters. Peggy's roommate invited over half the building to write condolence letters to Jackie, and her Mom was crying so hard at her sister's "there wasn't room for anyone else to feel anything." Peggy asks if it's OK if she watches the funeral in Cooper's office, and is given a curt yes in reply. "Are you coming?" she asks Don. He shakes his head and goes into his dark office, pouring himself a drink. "The End of the World," by Skeeter Davis plays us into the credits.
Finale tonight!
