Cut to a field in which numerous folding chairs have been set up. A woman with a floral garland on her head welcomes the assembled parents to "Field Day" -- more specifically, they're doing a maypole dance. A kid reads from cards about the origins and significance of the celebration, mentioning that it's Ossining's sesquicentennial, and then the dance begins. Folk-y music begins play to, but it fades as the music of Don's Getting An Idea kicks up, and he focuses on the teacher as she slides the hula hoop's straps over her...damn, it happened again. No, he reaches down to feel the grass as he observes the teacher frolic in slow motion, and this is truly ambiguous to me -- are we just seeing further emphasis that he's truly open to new things? Or is there a more specific tie-in to his views of feminine sexuality? Regardless...

...after the dance, Don tells Sally she was great, and then the Draper family, including Gene, has a picture taken...

...and when Don enters the office the next day, he regards Peggy like, perhaps, he's seeing someone new. After returning his long look, she comes out, asking if he wants to talk about Pampers, and they sit down in his office before we cut to black.

Next week: It looks good.
