Don is waiting alone in an anteroom in what looks like Honda's hotel suite when Team CGC emerges from within. Chaough asks Don where his film is, and when Don tells him he didn't make one, Chaough's like, you're SOL, "because I wouldn't want to follow what I just showed them with a speech and a couple of posters." Good thing he doesn't have any posters, then. Don is shown in, and after informing Team Honda that the rest of the SCDP partners couldn't make it, he speechifies that they created the conditions of contest to even the playing field, and it specifically prohibits finished work. Since it's his understanding that not everyone has observed this condition, he's withdrawing SCDP from the competition. Takahashi translates as Don gets to writing something, which he places in front of Kamura and thanks him for thinking of them, and once he's gone, we see he's written Honda a check for three grand from his personal account. Ha! The only thing that would have made it more awesome is if he'd written how disappointed he is in the memo section.

Joan comes in to see Roger with a Lucky Strike issue, and Roger slurrily tells her to take it to Pete. She snaps at him to stop it already with the feeling sorry for himself, and when he starts to tell a war story about what sounds like a kid who died on his watch, Joan cuts him off, as Greg is going to be in uniform any day now, and as such she really doesn't want to hear it. Roger, however, wonders how Greg is going to feel someday "when some Pete Campbell goes to some Vietnamese doctor?" He asks when forgiveness became a better quality than loyalty, and I have a rule that I don't get dragged into such discussions with fewer than five minutes left in an episode, so I'll let Joan answer: She tells him she knows it was awful for him and the passage of time won't erase it like it will for people who weren't involved, but he fought to make the world a safer place and won. He asks if she really thinks so, and she simply replies, "I have to." They regard each other for a moment before she withdraws...
