Summary

Betty Draper (January Jones) is married to advertising executive Don Draper (John Hamm). Due to an uncontrollable nervous twitch that Betty has with her fingers, she starts seeing a psychiatrist as the doctors tell her that is more psychosomatic than physical. She has many sessions and most of them are a one way monologue of Betty about her personal life.

Here we are at Thanksgiving. She would like to spend it with her husband but he has to work. She suspects her husband might be cheating on her (he is) but she is not sure. She talks about her family, how Don treats their kids. She talks about the fact that is obvious he is cheating on her and he doesn't have sense of family..."it's all there in my face everyday. The hotel rooms. Sometimes perfume. Or worse...."
She says she puts up with it as "some ostrich" and feels angry at herself because of that....finally she talks about their sex life, the way he makes love to her..."sometimes is what I want. But sometimes is obviously what someone else wants..."

Just--Just me and you and your little pad. It has helped....."
