Don has resumed his womanizing ways as a bachelor. He has a cryptic dream about Rachel Menken and attempts to reconnect with her, only to learn she recently died of leukemia. He also encounters a waitress named Diana at a diner, convinced they have met before, but she insists they are strangers —- before both having sex with him and confiding in him about her daughter's death two years before.
Following a meeting with Topaz, whose pantyhose product has experienced falling sales, Peggy and Joan attend a business meeting at the [=McCann=] Erickson offices, during which Joan is sexually harassed; this results in an argument between Peggy and Joan after the meeting.

Irked by the fact that Roger did nothing to defend him, Ken subsequently takes over his father-in-law's position at Dow Chemical and informs Roger and Pete that he will actively make Dow a difficult client to them.
