Complete story — includes the ending

Flashbacks depict Don meeting Anna, the widow of the man whose identity he stole, and revealing that her husband died in combat. In another flashback, Anna agrees to legally divorce Don, so that he will be able to marry Betty; Don is thankful and promises to take care of Anna financially for the remainder of her life. In the present, Don visits Anna in California and confides in her about the dissolution of his marriage. Roger, Bert, and Bert's sister Alice agree to PPL's buyout of Sterling Cooper, arguing that Don's small share of the company makes his absence irrelevant. Sarah Beth accuses Betty of encouraging her to have an affair with Arthur, but Betty coldly dismisses her. Roger agrees to give Freddy's old office to Peggy. Pete learns that Trudy has scheduled an appointment with an adoption agency and shuts it down. Pete later receives a call from his father-in-law, who is putting the Clearasil account up for review, contending that Trudy is unhappy and that Pete is "distracted" in his work. Joan introduces her fiancé Greg to the employees of Sterling Cooper. When Joan shows Greg inside Don's office, Greg forces himself onto Joan and rapes her.
