Complete story — includes the ending

While preparing breakfast for Betty on Mother's Day, Don trips down the stairs and experiences a brief vision of himself as a child, meeting Adam for the first time. While discussing marketing strategies with the Israeli Board of Tourism, Don decides to meet with Rachel, under the guise of asking her for input because she is Jewish. Rachel keeps their meeting professional, but later confesses to her sister that she is developing feelings for Don. Roger is pursuing a romantic affair with Joan, who rejects his suggestion that she get her own apartment, suspecting that Roger will eventually leave her for someone younger. Don drops by Midge's apartment, but they are interrupted by her beatnik friend Roy, who antagonizes Don's age and career. Peggy helps brainstorm ideas for Freddy Rumsen, who is working on a campaign for Belle Jolie lipstick. Impressed, Freddy relays Peggy's suggestions to the rest of the creative team, and asks Peggy to write some copy for the account.
