In other ends of the Sterling Cooper hallway, Pete is informed that Ken Cosgrove has bested him for the big Head of Accounts position. Although they'll both be promoted to bigger, better roles, Cosgrove’s the #1 man, and whatever the hell Duck was telling him a month or so ago about having no future at SC is finally starting to sink in. Even Trudy's all, "Round up your clients and take them someplace else."

It’s solid advice, Pete. TAKE IT.

Even though the horrible news about President Kennedy is taking over everyone's thoughts, the event Sterling Cooper's been waiting months for is about to arrive: Roger's daughter Margaret’s wedding. Most hope that they'll just call the whole thing off for the time being, since no one's in the mood to nibble on pigs in a blanket and make inane small talk, but, Pete reasons, "They'll never call it off. You know why? Because they're happy."

Well, at least this makes it easy to answer the question about where all these folks were when Kennedy was shot.

The ritzy event ends up a wee bit short on waiters, guests and cake. Margaret pulls through it with grace, which is surprising, because earlier in the episode, she goes apeshit over Jane’s lavish diamond-encrusted gift from Van Cleef: “It's new and it's blue, and the mother or the bridesmaids are supposed to do that for me! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" So you can understand my eyebrow raising here.

Don attempts to dance with Betty but she's just not that into him. And what makes her less interested is the appearance of a certain local politician with salt-and-pepper hair and a chiseled jaw.

Naturally, Betty ends up finding a way to see him, and ends up telling Don that she doesn't love him anymore. And finally, something has deflated the overconfident wind in Dreamy Don's sail.

The world may actually be ending.
