Nearly a year after Don and company strike it out on their own, they're occupying a single suite in the new Time-Life building (though they tell the clients they have a second floor). Don is interviewed for ''Ad Age'' following a massively successful TV campaign for Glo-Coat. In a misguided attempt at modesty, he says nothing in the interview, and it starts costing them clients. Now he has to clean up the mess while dealing with a hopelessly prudish client that will likely cost them.

Finally, Betty takes the kids to Thanksgiving with Henry's family. When Sally acts out, Betty overreacts. Her treatment of the kids and overall attitude begins to slip from IceQueen to EvilMatriarch. Meanwhile Don is advised by his accountant that paying the mortgage and living costs of his house while allowing Henry and Betty to live there rent free is beginning to damage his finances. Don is reluctant to mention it, as things are cold but civil at the moment, despite Betty doing little things to intentionally piss Don off. Finally Don has enough and demands they start looking for another house, buy them out, or pay rent, in any event the free ride is over. Henry actually sides with Don on this but Betty refuses.

** Henry's mother Pauline Francis has a low opinion of Betty and seems to a close-minded conservative to boot (even going so far to criticize divorced couples in front of her divorced son) but she isn't wrong when she asserts that Henry certainly did not marry Betty for her personality or for being a good mom.
* ParentWithNewParamour: A subdued example with Henry's daughter Eleanor greeting her father and relatives for Thanksgiving, even bearing gifts for her new step-siblings, but ignoring her new stepmother Betty. She is seen glaring disapprovingly of Betty's behavior towards Sally.
