Duck informs Don that their client, Playtex, wants Sterling Cooper to create a new marketing campaign for the company, akin to the "dream" campaign of their competitor Maidenform. Peggy is disappointed when she discovers that her co-workers are not including her in their informal business outings and confides in Joan, who advises her to "learn to speak the language" and stop dressing like a little girl. Later, Peggy crashes the creative team's meeting with Playtex executives at a strip club, surprising her co-workers by wearing a suggestive gown. Don discovers that Bobbie has been gossiping about his sexual reputation to other women. Annoyed, Don ties Bobbie's wrists up to the bed during a sexual encounter and then leaves. Duck is visited by his estranged family and their family dog, Chauncey; Duck learns from his children that their mother is getting remarried, and that he has been made to take care of the dog. Sad and frustrated by the distant relationship he has with his family, Duck contemplates drinking again and eventually abandons Chauncey outside the office.
