“Person to Person”

Wearing goggles and a helmet, Don speeds in a hot-rod through a desert in Utah.

Don pulls into a warehouse. He tells two young guys that they need to “take care of that shimmy.” They ask for money for parts. Don stares at the car.

Caroline and Meredith meet with Roger in his office.  Caroline tells Roger his “package from Canada” will be delivered to his hotel tomorrow. Roger informs Caroline that there’s no need to be covert — Meredith knows about Marie Calvet. After Caroline leaves, Roger tells Meredith that he doesn’t need two secretaries — he apologizes and says he thought Don would have been back by now. Meredith asks if Don is dead, but Roger believes otherwise. He agrees to give her a recommendation.

In the Conference Room, Lorraine assigns accounts to the creative teams. Peggy notices she and Stan have been taken off of Chevalier and pulls Lorraine aside after the meeting. Lorraine explains that “Stu Riley took over from Pete Campbell and he has his favorites.” Dissatisfied, Peggy asks if David, the creative director, is aware of the change. Lorraine threatens to call him and “let him know you’re unhappy.” When Peggy doesn’t back down, Lorraine gives her back the account.

In a motel room that night, Don lies in bed with a woman. He asks if his wallet happened to “fall out” of his jeans. Don knows she’s taken money and says if he has to pay for sex, he’d rather do it voluntarily. The woman returns Don’s manila envelope from her purse and he hands her fifty dollars. She asks who the ring in the envelope belongs to.

In a hotel room in Key West, Richard opens a packet of cocaine he received as a birthday gift. “We said we’d try everything,” he tempts Joan.  She scoops some up and snorts it off her fingernail, followed by Richard. Richard tells Joan to “take advantage of all I have” and encourages her to leave New York to pursue a future with him. “Your life is undeveloped property,” he says. “You could turn it into anything you want.” Joan asks if they have to get married. Richard says they don’t. They kiss.
