Back at the diner, Adam and Don continue to talk. "I'm not mad at you. I just wanna know. I mean, look at you... Who is Donald Draper?" he asks. Adams questions turn a bit too personal for Don's liking. "I don't understand. I just want to be part of your life," Adam tells him. "Adam, that's not going to happen. I'm going to walk out the door and that's it. I'm not buying you lunch, because this never happened," he answers. He strides out and returns to the office.
Betty and Peggy are talking about Peggy's life, the blind dates, work, and so forth. I'm curious - what is the age difference between the two of them, anyway? It can't be more than a 4 or 5 years, right? At any rate, Don returns before things get too much more awkward between the two, and the Drapers head off to have their portrait taken.
Liberty Capital comes in for a meeting the next day. Don lets Paul take lead on the presentation, as the "executive account" idea was his conception, although the name was Don's creation. "Liberty for the libertine," he calls it, as he explains how it works. The man from Liberty Capital chuckles. "A portion of our customers are already, I believe, doing this. There's just no name for it, and, we had no way to charge them." He loves the idea. When Don returns to his office, he has an envelope from his brother, with photos from their childhood. He thumbs through them pointedly.
In the secretary pool, we hear Ken telling the ladies the exact same summary of his two novels that he told the boys earlier that week. Paul walks in, compliments his story, takes the issue of the Atlantic Monthly from Ken's hands, saying that he doesn't have a copy to give to his girlfriend. He rips out the story, and jams the remainder of the issue into Ken's coat pocket, all while the ladies giggle. Ouch.
That night, at the Campbell residence, Trudy gives Pete some good news over dinner - her ex will publish Pete's story. The bad news? It'll be published in Boy's Life, which Pete does not take kindly to. "Boy's life... Probably next to some ad for exploding cigars..." he laments. "I could have gotten you in the New Yorker, or Encyclopedia Brittanica, if I wanted to," Trudy replies, implying that Charlie would have done anything if she had stepped outside her marriage, even just the once. "So, why didn't you?" Pete asks, coldly.
