Roger tells Don about pursuing Sunkist, and they inform Ted before a partners' meeting; Ted angrily objects because he and Cutler are pitching Ocean Spray, creating a conflict. Pete is concerned when his mother implies that she is having a sexual relationship with her nurse Manolo. When Pete questions Bob, who recommended Manolo, Bob makes a subtle advance that Pete rejects. A horrified Peggy attempts to kill a rat in her apartment. Sally and her friend Julie stay with Don and Megan for a Model United Nations event and meet the Rosens' son Mitchell, who has left college and is classified 1-A for the draft. Don mentions Mitchell's situation at a Chevy dinner, and Ted later offers a contact in the Air National Guard to help Mitchell, but only if Don drops Sunkist. Don attempts to reveal the news to Arnold but reaches Sylvia, who is thrilled and grateful for his intervention. Julie signs Sally's name to a note praising Mitchell and slips it under the Rosens' door; when Sally tries to retrieve it, she finds Don and Sylvia having sex and runs out. That night, Arnold and Mitchell thank Don, while Sally withdraws. Don confronts Sally and tells her he was "comforting" Sylvia.
