This episode starts with the agency winning an award that’s perceived as Don’s but that Don insists was really won by Roger and the money side. The award is called the Newkie - it consists of a horseshoe nailed to a plaque. “No one wants to look like they care about awards,” Don tells Betty. “But you do,” she says, and she’s right.
The following morning, Don and Betty wake up hungover at 8am, Sally bursts into the room loudly, when Betty comments that she has a headache. When Sally points out the award Don comments that not only did he win one, but Roger did too.
Creatively and emotionally, Don is in an impossible spot. It’s good for him and his agency if he lands big accounts and gets attention, but the more acclaimed he becomes, the more closely the industry will scrutinize his life story.
His picture appears in Advertising Age and attracts the attention of a man named Adam Whitman, who shows up at the Sterling Cooper offices, surprising Don. Don feigns ignorance of who Adam is, and insists he is not Dick, but Adam is just as insistent that he is Dick. It turns out that he is Don's half brother. Don's real name is Dick Whitman. Don admits he missed Adam, but he refuses to share any information about himself or his life. When Don asks about the rest of the family, Adam reveals their mother Abigail has died due to cancer, to which Don coldly remarks "Good," and emphasizes that she never let him forget that she was not his mother. Don leaves after telling Adam that he has no place for him in his life.
While Don is with Adam, Betty and the kids arrive for a family portrait, and a desperate Peggy, thinking he is with his mistress, has to cover for his absence. She reveals the existence of the mistress to Joan, who advises her how to handle the situation.
Don receives a letter from Adam containing a hotel room number ("5G") and a photo of the two of them when Adam was a child and Don a soldier. Don burns the photograph, then calls Adam and sets up a meeting time. At the hotel, Don coldly dismisses Adam, but gives him $5,000 to leave New York, start a new life, and never contact him again. Adam is heartbroken, but Don explains that he has too much to lose by revealing his past. Adam embraces him, then Don leaves, having severed all ties to his earlier life.
Don is already on the edge because he’s juggling too many secrets. Adam pushes him over.
He’s been contemplating an affair with Rachel Menken and having one with Midge. He’s also deeply self-deceived over his plush sham of a home life. His stop at the railroad crossing in “Marriage of Figaro” was the gesture of a man who’d rather die than face himself.
When he comes home, he tells Betty that they will have to wait until they are financially able to afford a summer home.

Elizabeth "Betty" Draper is a fictional character on AMC drama television series Mad Men. She is wife (and later ex-wife) of main character Don Draper and mother of his three children. Blonde and beautiful but emotionally distant and immature, she spends the bulk of the series slowly growing as a person amid the social and political turmoil of the 1960s. Her character's appearance is often compared to that of Grace Kelly, with the similarities between the two also drawn during the first season of the series.
In Season 1 Betty and Don Draper live in a large house in suburban Ossining, New York, with their children Sally and Bobby. In the second episode, set in the spring of 1960, Betty starts to see a psychiatrist to address repeated psychosomatic spells of numbness in her hands, which began after her mother's death. It seemed likely that Betty was experiencing Conversion Disorder. Having discovered that her psychiatrist was giving reports of her sessions to Don, she decided to take revenge by telling her doctor things she wanted her husband to hear, but not to tell him directly. She voiced her suspicion that her husband was unfaithful. She told the doctor about her husband's infidelities and how much they upset her. Sometime before February 1962, the consultations were stopped.
