The struggle to keep Sterling Cooper afloat is almost over and for many it will be a relief to let go. For many but not for everybody.

When Don is informed about McCann incorporating SCP, he's at first despondent and then he tries an escape route to California. It worked before but history will not repeat itself.

A meeting with McCann reveals that big accounts will go to the SCP boys, Don being promised nonetheless than Coca Cola. However, only Ted and Roger warm up to the plan. Pete is unhappy and Joan afraid she won't be taken seriously.

The five go for a "celebratory" drink, but one by one they all slip away to private engagements: Ted with a new lover, Joan with Richard, Pete with his ex and Roger with Marie the crazy shrew. Don is completely alone, because even creepy Diana left without leaving a forwarding address.

Elsewhere, Peggy is also upset about the McCann move, but a head-hunter informs her that's the best move for her, provided she doesn't stay for over three years. Also, Peggy gets sentimental with Stan about her lost boy, complaining about double standards for men and women
