Ken, who's a new expectant father, goes hunting with those crazy Chevy guys and gets shot in the eye for his trouble. Although he's essentially okay, he breaks down crying to Pete how the account is killing him – almost literally – so Pete offers to take his place, confessing the news of his separation in the process. The partners do in fact offer Pete the opportunity to take over Ken's on-the-ground position in Detroit – with the caveat that he work with Benson, who you'll remember was put on the Chevy account a couple episodes ago. Pete tries to object, but won't go so far as to out Benson, and since he doesn't give them a reason, the partners keep Benson on. Desperate to get Benson out of there, Pete calls Duck and offers to pay him to headhunt on Benson's behalf, but when Pete sends Benson's personnel record over, Duck tells him his background check has revealed that Benson fabricated his entire CV, which pretty much makes him a younger, less heterosexual Don. Thinking this exactly, Pete goes to Benson with the information and tells him, essentially, that there's no way he's going to get his hands dirty exposing another Dick Whitman, so Benson is welcome to work alongside him at a respectable distance. A sexy respectable distance?

Betty calls Don to tell her Sally wants to go to boarding school at Miss Porter's, and whether it's the cough medicine/alcohol mix he's on or not, he flirts with her, which doesn't go unappreciated. Sally visits the school for an interview and spends the night – with a couple girls who tell her they'll ruin her chances if she doesn't bring them party supplies. Desperate, Sally calls Glen, who turns up with a flask and a friend who's got some pot, but soon, the friend is trying fairly aggressively to kiss Sally against her will. This leads Glen to punch out him out, which impresses the one host girl who's not freaking out from the weed. Sally gets accepted, and on the car ride back, she lets on to Betty for the first time how disappointed she is in Don. I wonder what she'd think if she knew Don and Betty recently hooked up.

Ted and Peggy run into Don and Megan at the movies (Rosemary's Baby, hilariously), and Megan doesn't buy their attempts to cover that they were there for work. Turns out they were, but she's also right that Ted and Peggy are acting like schoolkids in love, which everyone – Joan, Ted's secretary, the vending machine -- notices and is mostly bored by. When Ted approves Peggy's concept for a St. Joseph's ad that's going to run over twice the approved budget, though, Don sends the budget to the client, which results in a meeting to defend the huge increase. Ted asks Don to sit in for backup, and when Ted's efforts to convince the client are ineffective, Don intervenes – seeming to flirt with exposing Ted's admission that he's pushing the ad because it's Peggy's – before telling the client that it was actually Gleason's last idea. This gets the client to agree to an increase, after which Don flatly tells Ted that he's not thinking with his head, and everyone sees it. He may have been typically brusque about it, but this was the first time I agreed with Don Draper one hundred percent in recent memory. When Ted, apparently taking Don's words to heart, goes home rather than explain to Peggy what happened, she goes in to tell Don that he's a monster, and despite him acting less monstrous in this episode than just about any other this season, the words from Peggy cause him to assume the fetal position on his couch. Well, he might as well rest up before the season finale.
