It is April 1969. Don flies to Los Angeles at the request of Megan's agent, and it comes out during their visit that he is on leave from the agency. Megan, upset at Don's deception, reacts badly and throws him out, and he returns to New York. He secures a job offer from a rival firm, which he then takes to Roger, telling him that he wants to return to work. Roger relents, telling him to report to the office on Monday. Don arrives at the office only to be met by confusion; Roger has not yet come in and has neglected to tell anyone about Don's return. Roger, Joan, Jim and Bert meet to discuss the matter, ultimately deciding to allow Don to return, albeit under some rather rigid conditions which he must agree to in writing. After lunch with a friend, Betty begins feeling like she's neglecting her children, and agrees to accompany Bobby on a school field trip to a farm. But the day ultimately proves a disappointment to both mother and son. (RTÉ Television)

I was used to this kind of episode in this series, but they have become rarer with each passing season, so I was quite pleased to stumble upon one again. Here, the lessons about karma and reaping what you sow apply. Every now and then, your life decisions come back to bite you in the ass, and the creators truly nailed it. / Lesson learned: Always expect the worst; any other outcome will pleasantly surprise you.
