Don is out of place at Megan's party. Megan tries to make Don jealous and it doesn't work. Harry shows up at Megan's with his girlfriend.

Bobby is afraid Betty and Henry are going to get divorced. He wants to run away with Sally.

Harry tells Don he's going to make sure he's still important. Harry says Jim and Lou are pursuing Commander Cigarettes and if they get it, Don'll have to go.

Don steps into the meeting with Phillip Morris and tells them he's prepared to leave the agency if they give him a shot. He also tells them the man who wrote the letter was trying to save his business, not destroy theirs. Like Lou, he has over 10 years of tobacco experience and he stayed the execution by the government for years. He's the only man who knows the opposition; they shared their strategy with him and he knows how to beat it. Don doesn't think their friends at American Tobacco would like it much if they forced him to apologize, given they're still the competition.

Ginsberg is taken away in restraints.
