The fact that she is still in contact with Dean is disturbing, but the way she handled her grandmother falling was fantastic, from instructing her brother what to do on the spot to the tiny lie she told her father about being on the phone."]

Sally’s lie about how she had tripped her step-grandmother was “fantastic”? Really? Sorry if I don’t feel the same.

I’m glad to see Megan’s character make a more cerebral turn for the better, but still, Megan isn’t my cup of tea in this series. For some reason, I miss Fay Miller. I liked the fact that Fay was an established, professional woman. It seemed a greater challenge to Don, rather than a ditsy young Freddy Mercury look-alike who is bound to cause strife in the office. I will bet twenty bucks that Megan ends up as fodder like Jane Sterling….
Speaking of Sterling, he was great in this episode. I guffawed when Sterling lost his composure over Megan’s father’s flub. That was genius. Roger’s interactions with Sally Draper were cute, and totally believable. Roger’s a big child, and to see him act like a goof to keep a kid entertained seemed easy to believe. Of course, seeing Megan’s mom playing the skinflute with Roger didn’t seem out of whack either.
