S1E2 · Ladies Room

Complete story — includes the ending

Don continues to conceal his increasingly complicated personal life, even in the face of Roger's invitation to open up. The members of Sterling Cooper's creative team are puzzled when contemplating the question of "what women want". Peggy pines for Pete, who is still on his honeymoon, while fending off the advances of several of the men of Sterling Cooper. She expresses annoyance at being targeted by the sexually predatory males in the office, but Joan advises her to "enjoy it while it lasts." Don's wife, Betty, has periodically experienced numb and shaking hands since her mother's recent death. After getting into a car accident, Betty's physicians suggest she visit a psychiatrist. Don is resistant, proclaiming that therapy is for people who are unhappy, but eventually allows Betty to seek help. Following Betty's first therapy session, Don secretly makes a phone call to her therapist Dr. Wayne, who consults his notes from Betty's session over the phone.
