[[Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce]] is doing good business and has posted their best quarter of all time, but things aren't the same around the office without Lane. The Partners have kept a tight lid on his suicide though some staff spread rumors. [[Joan]] confesses to [[Don]] that she thinks if she had let [[Lane]] fall in love with her he would still be alive, but Don calms her concerns. Don has a $50,000 check cut to repay Lane's investment in the firm and takes it to Lane's wife who then chastises Don and the firm for allowing Lane to be consumed by the firm's potential for success.
