I loved this episode's baby scenes. At the hospital Don is with another worried man waiting for his wife. He complains to the nurse that he has no updates on his wife.

He has a realistic everyday conversation with Don. He tells Don how he doesn't know how women do it. Now with this baby especially he will be a better man. I loved his statements and he looks handsome with a NY accent. Don looks at him sadly and emotional.

Betty is hallucinating and we first see her in a beautiful dress that shows off her arms and cleavage walking on the sidewalk on a street.

A young Sister helps the men with the vending machine. She reaches with her smaller hands for the items. The man smiles at her and asks Don how old he think she is, 16?

The man is a prison guard and tells his experience working at Sing Sing. They blame their mom and dad. Don says that is not right.

Peggy comes in with a baby shower gift for Don. He has a bunch of blue presents in his office. Alison, his secretary who is reliable and elegant said she did not know where to put them. I love the vibes in this scene and the Peggy + Don moments. Peggy tells Don she is the youngest and didn't get much new stuff so that was why she chose to give clothes. Peggy asks for a raise as the law just passed that females and males are equal. Don refuses saying he is having trouble getting paper clips for the office.

Betty wears a white headband and pink nightgown as she waves to her kids, showing the baby boy. She is at the window.
