Warning: Spoilers
Don tells his daughter to slow down from running.

He's at work where they watch a successful and fun John F. Kennedy ad. The Nixon (other candidate) ad that they are doing is boring and dull.

Don gets angry after finding out from Peter that they lost an account - Dr. Scholl's. He is furious and swipes everything off his table. Peggy comes in wondering what the noise on the intercom was. She stoops to pick up the stuff but Don stops her.

Don goes to his boss's office where he tells him the bad news while his boss is getting a trim. The boss suggests that they go down to look at the ladies. There are a bunch of twins for casting. The boss chooses the pair that he likes. They are redheads and the other twins leave. Don and the boss bring the twins up to a luxurious office and that is where each man is paired up with a twin. One twin has sex with the boss and her pink underwear is really pretty. The other twin kisses Don but does not have sex with him.

The boss tells the girl his concerns of his daughter's behaviour. She rolls her eyes at him and she is only a few years younger than these 20-year-old twins. It is gross he is with a girl around the same age as his daughter. They talk about how the twin's name is better than Margaret, his daughter. He was going to name his daughter Margaux but lost the battle for that and believes his daughter would have hated it.

While having sex a second time, the boss has a heart attack. He lies naked on the floor and Don tells the girls to phone an ambulance and leave. As he is being moved away he keeps moaning the name of the twin he was with. Don slaps him and reminds him his wife's name is Mona. Don goes to the hospital looking white as paper and he breaks down into tears.

Mona, his wife, comes in and pulls him in for a hug. The boss cries and tells Mona how much he loves her and hugs her. He wants the benefits of a marriage but he is not committed. He likes the motherly side of a wife. Margaret comes in and hugs her dad.

Joan and another man get to work on writing telegrams to send out to the company workers.

Don calls Betty to let her know about the heart attack while she is sharing a bed with her kids. Dad and his partner insisted on separate bedrooms.

Don goes over to the Jewish girl's place. The girl with the store. He is miserable and upset about the heart attack. He kisses the girl and she pulls away saying this was an excuse for bad behaviour. Don feels the tension of her wanting him and he asks her before having sex if she actually wants it. She says yes and they have sex. We see Don lying on top of her, both naked, while she reaches for a cigarette.
