She comes back to see Ginsburg with his father arguing. She falls asleep in Don’ s office. The secretary Dawn wakes her up at night. Don wants to know if anyone called. Then he says he has to go.
Ginsburg says he is not his real father. He says he is from Mars. Later at night Peggy calls Ginsburg to come up. Peggy repeats Ginsburg’s words of alienation and loss from earlier in the day.
“Come up here”
“You need me huh”
“I always need you?”
Sterling sneaks alcohol from Don’s office. He comes in and Roger suggests a trip to Lake Placid at the Howard Johnson’s. He wants a party weekend anonymously near Montreal away from the wives. Don wants to take Megan. He say Sterling can bring Jane.
Chagrined, Roger watches a happy Don twirl Megan out the door on the way home. Sterling then lives down a night with his wife. They are standing in an elevator where everything he says is wrong and Jane jumps down his throat. They sit down to dinner taking metaphysical ramblings.
Jane insists Roger do LSD with her. Roger bends to the pressure. Other couples also are nervous and leave. This is an experience of self fulfilling prophecy. Roger then hears music only when he ens a bottle of alcohol. The Tibetan Book of the dead comes up in conversation.
Then music plays when he smokes. The Beach Boys play in Roger’s head, and the doctor says everything is OK.

“I did. I really did." Roger says. Next day, Roger gets up and tells her she is beautiful. They both agree last night was beautiful. He says he will check into a hotel. She says “What are you talking about?”
She says “Are you leaving me?” Roger reminds her this is better than lawyers screaming.
“Its going to be very expensive”.
“I know” Roger kisses her goodbye, and then flashes back to the time when Don left his office after blowing off Sterlings’ offer. He tells Megan they are in for a treat. Don does not care about how Heinz went. Megan coughs when Don smokes and feels guilty about leaving Peggy.
They get to the Howard Johnson’s. Don gets an orange back scratcher. Megan wants pie but Don order orange sherbet.
“It tastes like perfume to me. Get I get a scoop of chocolate”. Don asks if she is trying to embarrass him. Th she starts eating it orange sherbet, pretending to love it. Don tries to work and then Megan rebels. Don goes outside and orders her into the car.
The argue because she doesn’t like the ice cream and then he walks away.
She says why don’t call your mother? (She is dead). She says she doesn’t know when she is his wife and when she is not working.
Don drives away and she shouts ”Eat this say that, yes master.” Don gets in the car. “Don’t you dare drive away I am talking to you!”
Don drives fast and lights a cigarette. But when he comes back she is gone. Don gets a room key and stays until dark. He places a call to Peggy, who does not understand why he ignores her news about Heinz. Dale gives him a room key.

He gets woken by a state trooper who says he can’t sleep in the diner. Don says his wife has been missing for almost seven hours. It is almost 2 a.m.
Don finds Megan at home where she refuses to let him in. They chase each other around and collapse on the floor. Megan is scared about their fights. Do arrives back at work, where their false smiles hide their conflicts. They put on false faces and walk through the office, play-acting their way. At his desk, Don gets a package of artwork from Dawn that needs to be redone.
Don comes into the conference room and asks Cooper what s wrong with the bra ad. "You've been on love leave" Cooper says. He is told by Cooper he is in a love daze and it is amazing the agency hasn’t collapsed he has been doing so little. Don says it is none of his business. Cooper says this is his business. Don is dazed and looks around as Peggy and her group walks by.

About the author tvqueen

I like to watch TV shows from classic eras as well as contemporary drama and comedy. Science Fiction is fun, and shows like the Cape and Fringe keep hope alive that the medium that produced Space 1999 is alive. Comedy such as 30 Rock is usually, good, but not always. I like Survivor but it has so little to do with survivor skills I am disappointed. Appointment viewing is Grey's Anatomy, NCIS LA, The CSI series for New York and Las Vegas and Miami, with a special shout out for the new Hawaii Five O. Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares are top of the line viewing for the drama comedy Gordon's character and the business lessons they teach.
