I wonder if she would've been as good with Sally if Megan had risen to her challenge?  Betty is the queen of misplaced aggression.

There was already a hat-tip to Richard: All the drinking and barfing and then more drinking.

@avclub-c5dec1c8d66731bfa82785d8bfbe5c2c:disqus My mind immediately went to Lane's little boy - shunted off to a boarding school and having to learn of this from a great distance with no parent to comfort him. Everyone talks about Sally's loss of childhood but that's a far more abrupt one, IMO.

I thought he was done for sure, and would be calling Peggy (pact or no) from the bar phone.  Glad he did some maneuvering - I like New Ken.

She definitely got a dig in with Megan but she could've been way, way worse with Sally. This is a kid who pissily forced them to cancel holiday plans, and ran off in the city AND took a cab home by herself. Betty showed some motherly self-restraint I wasn't expecting.

Sally is now able to have a baby. Lane is now not. Circle of life, man…
