S6E12 · The Quality of Mercy

Complete story — includes the ending

While upland hunting in Michigan with Chevy executives, Ken is accidentally shot in the face with birdshot. Back in New York, he tells Pete he can no longer handle the stress of the Chevy account; Pete seizes the opportunity to take it over, and the partners approve, assigning Bob to assist. Suspicious of Bob, Pete asks Duck to investigate and learns Bob falsified his background and had worked as a West Virginia manservant. Pete confronts Bob, but ultimately keeps the secret to retain leverage. Meanwhile, Betty tells Don that Sally has expressed interest in enrolling at a boarding school. While attending an overnight visit at the school, Sally impresses her peers by inviting Glen, who brings alcohol and drugs; the next day, Betty says the school's evaluation of Sally was favorable. Don takes a day off when Harry reports that Sunkist wants to expand into television. Although Don cites a conflict with Ocean Spray, he reverses course after seeing Ted and Peggy together at a movie. Attempting to mend tensions, Don supports Ted during a St. Joseph Aspirin pitch but undercuts and humiliates him, later warning Ted that his feelings for Peggy is impairing his judgment.
