Complete story — includes the ending
Don returns to creative work full throttle, only to find the cultural changes of the 1960s have left him behind. Striving to fill the emptiness of his life, Pete bonds with Beth, the wife of his commuter friend Howard. The two have a sexual encounter, but Beth tells him to forget it ever happened. Pete becomes obsessed with wanting to repeat the experience and orchestrates a second meeting with Beth, but she does not arrive. Megan has second thoughts about her career path and confides in Peggy, who scolds her for taking a high-value job that others would "kill to have". Megan tells Don of her desire to start acting again, and with Don's apparent blessing, she quits her job at the agency. Later, during a taste testing for Cool Whip, Don scolds Peggy and accuses her of "driving" Megan out of the office; Peggy retorts that she is not the one who Don is mad at. Don complains to Megan about being unfamiliar with youth and popular culture, leading her to bring him a copy of the Beatles album Revolver. Don starts to listen to " Tomorrow Never Knows ", but quickly picks up the needle and turns the record off.
