Well, this was an interesting episode. Ted and Peggy are getting closer. Don feels guilty over his affair and messing up Sally.

After seeing Don bang his mistress last week, Sally decides to go to boarding school and goes for an interview. She gets to see Creepy Glen again. On the way home, Betty gives Sally a cigarette.

Don is home sick and clicks past Megan acting in her soap opera. After Megan takes Don to see “Rosemary’s Baby” and they spot Ted and Peggy who try to cover their tracks.

Ken Cosgrove is shot by Chevy executives, gets an eye patch and wants off the account. Pete Campbell schemes to take it over, gets assigned to it and then finds that he has to work Bob Benson. After trying to get Bob out of the agency, he finds through Duck Phillips that Bob is basically a fraud. Bob also tries to get Pete out, but the producers misspell Pete’s name. Pete decides to work with Bob and keep his secret instead of exposing him like he did with Don back in Season 1.

After seeing Ted and Peggy run overbudget on a new ad, Don decides that he will find a way to break them up, telling Ted he can see see through them. Peggy gets pissed and yells at Don. And we have one more episode this season.
