...and calling for Betty. However, he gets Henry, who's none too pleased when he realizes that Betty must have confided her news to Don. He gruffly tells Don that Betty's fine and Don's palpable relief can only add to Henry's ill mood about the whole thing, so he gets off with a lame excuse and then, when Betty calls down asking who it was, tells her, "Nobody." It's no wonder he crafts high-level political campaigns with quick and sophisticated thinking like that.
In his office, Don takes a moment to recover, but any reverie is cut short by Megan entering. Don tells her the news and she says she's glad, but goes on to offer this: "She just needs to have something to call you about." Surprisingly uncharitable coming from her, yet given the interaction we saw this episode, it's hard to think she's completely wrong. Don doesn't address this, instead asking if he can take Megan to dinner and she's all too happy to accept...
...while in the land of less-luxurious dinner plans, Michael arrives home to a tiny apartment with a double lock on the front door, where we learn that he lives with his very Jewish father, who's about a head taller than Michael. Given that his father reacts to Michael's good news by A) suggesting they both get hookers and B) reciting a Hebrew prayer, we might have our answer to why Michael told Peggy he has no family. Most people can handle their friends' parents doing one or the other of those, but not both at the same time.
