The ad men congregate in Don's office. On the coffee table is a pink plastic belt shaped like women's panties with a small control box and electric cord. After they timidly inspect it, they discover that it's a weight loss invention. Whether it actually causes weight loss is yet to be determined, and [[Pete Campbell|Pete]] is skeptical to promote it. "It might be a lightning rod for the government and other people out to kill advertising," he says.

Just then, [[Peggy Olson|Peggy]] walks in. As she leaves, the men jokingly suggest that she might be a good candidate to try the "[[Relax-a-Cizor|Electrosizer]]." [[Fred Rumsen|Fred]], however, thinks she'd be able to put her creative talents to work by testing it out. Later that night, Peggy sits in her bedroom, papers spread on her bed. She decides to give the contraption a try. Peggy turns the dial, and immediately becomes aroused by the vibrations. She peels it off in a hurry.

At Home, [[Betty Draper|Betty]] is sitting up in her bed, alone, reading a 'Family Circle' Magazine. She thinks she hears a noise, hoping that Don is coming home. But it's nothing, so she turns off the lamp to go to sleep.

At Home, [[Betty Hofstadt]] is sitting up in her bed, alone, reading a "Family Circle" Magazine. She thinks she hears a noise, hoping that Don is coming home. But it's nothing, so she turns off the lamp to go to sleep.
The next day, Peggy awkwardly shares with Don what she's discovered about the Electrosizer. She struggles to explain that she felt something that most women would like to feel. "It vibrates, and that coincides with how you wear it," she says. "It's probably unrelated to weight loss." Don realizes this new benefit and asks Peggy to figure out how to put it into words.

[[Bertram Cooper|Cooper]] tells Don that he just spent the morning talking the [[Lucky Strike]] account "off the ledge." They recently lost a lawsuit and they are nervous about continuing to do business with Sterling Cooper due to Roger's heart attack. They'll need to be ready for a big lunch meeting tomorrow -- with Roger.

At the Draper residence, [[Betty Draper|Betty]] gets a visit from a door-to-door air conditioning salesman named Bob Shaw. When Betty says she's not interested, he asks to come in for a glass of water. He persists, but she doesn't think the Indian Summer will last much longer. He continues to explain how cold air is escaping through their windows and offers to take some measurements. She accepts the offer, and as they both walk up the stairs to look at the bedroom window, she hesitates. "You know, my husband, I think he'd rather go to Sears," she says, forcing him to leave.

"From what I understand, it provides the pleasure of a man without the man," Don says. He offers a critique. It needs a new name and a clever code word so women will know its real utility.

Synopsis

Adam Whitman, unshaven and dressed in a dirty suit, hands a shoe box to a hotel manager and asks him to mail it for him. The package is addressed to "Donild Draper" at 405 Madison Avenue. It costs 40 cents, but Adam hands the man a 5 dollar bill.

Back in his hotel room, Adam throws the pile of bills that Don gave him on the table. He places a message that says, "Enjoy" next to the pile. Then, he removes his belt and pulls a chair next to a ceiling pipe. He threads the belt around his neck and around the pipe before kicking the chair out from under him. His feet dangle as he hangs himself.

It's October at Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency, and Roger is still out recovering. Joan Holloway prods Don Draper about this condition but is flustered by her own lack of aloofness.

Meeting indian summer

Electrosizer meeting, in Indian Summer.

The ad men congregate in Don's office. On the coffee table is a pink plastic belt shaped like women's panties with a small control box and electric cord. After they timidly inspect it, they discover that it's a weight loss invention. Whether it actually causes weight loss is yet to be determined, and Pete is skeptical to promote it. "It might be a lightning rod for the government and other people out to kill advertising," he says.

Just then, Peggy Olson walks in. As she leaves, the men jokingly suggest that she might be a good candidate to try the "Relax-a-Cizor. Freddy Rumsen, however, thinks she'd be able to put her creative talents to work by testing it out. Later that night, Peggy sits in her bedroom, papers spread on her bed. She decides to give the contraption a try. Peggy turns the dial, and immediately becomes aroused by the vibrations. She peels it off in a hurry.
