On Mad Men, Bets and Don Draper have both been inching on the brink of extra-marital affairs... Their marriage has been tested by the arrival of a new baby boy ... and temptations were thrown on their paths... Don’s sent on a tour of Hilton hotels around the country, including a trip to Rome. Bets keeps working on the local campaign to save the reservoir and during the town hall meeting her connection at the Governor’s Office, this Henry Francis guy (I’m sorry, but that really is how they call him) delivers an order that the installation of the (huge) water tank be delayed. We all know he’s merely there to have his way with our angelic Elizabeth... Afterwards he walks her to his car ... leans in to kiss her ... and then she drives away... Of course Don doesn’t know his wife is about to be seduced, but the love and admiration in his eyes when he hears she achieved her goal in local politics, it’s the sweetest thing!
Next, Bets decides to join Don on his trip to Rome. They get a room overlooking the Forum. While Don’s catching up on sleep, she makes an appointment at a beauty salon and then enjoys a night on the town. Don joins her pretending they don’t know each other to tease the local Latin lover boys. It’s truly adorable! “By golly, you are an indecently lucky man,” Connie Hilton tells Don when he arrives. In the end, Don and Bets return to their room and make love. When they come back home and Don gives her a little souvenir dangler shaped like the Colosseum, something’s wrong. Betty is fed up with the town they live in, their fake friends, and the home she just redecorated. All this time of being a rich man’s housewife whiling away her time doing nothing has made her restless, eager for some excitement, and she wants to get away from the boredom. This was a quiet episode – a bit like filler before we get to the season’s end, I fear – but lovely nonetheless.
