The Milk and Honey Route
- Don continues his road trip and winds up stopping in Oklahoma for longer than planned when his car breaks down; Don meets Andy, an opportunistic young man, who gets Don into trouble with the local American Legion lodge after he spends the night drinking with them; they think Don stole the money from a fundraiser, but that was Andy's doing; Instead of turning Andy in, Don gets the money back, returns it to one of the lodge member, and then leaves town; he gives Andy a ride to the edge of town and then gives him his car
- Pete is approached by Duck who hasn't been seen since the final episode of Season 6 when he tried romancing Peggy; Duck sets Pete up on an interview with Lear Jet without telling him that's what it is; Pete isn't really interested but then starts to see the possibility of getting back together with Trudy
- Betty finds out she has lung cancer; it is beyond the operable stage; she is very calm about the diagnosis and wants to keep the information to herself but Henry doesn't respect her wishes and tells Sally; the truth of the situation doesn't sink in for Sally until she reads the note her mother gives her to read after she passes
- odd choice for the ending music, a Buddy Holly song: Everyday. Usually the songs are from the era that the episode takes place, which is definitely not here; there must be some coded message that I'm not getting
- not quite as satisfying for or interesting to me as the previous episode but it still had its moments
- one more episode to go
