I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I keep trying to put myself into Betty's head and I think maybe Don's Box o' Weirdness might add up to Leading a Double Life in Betty's accounting system - like maybe he has a whole other family stashed away somewhere.

Has anyone read The Group? Any shocking stuff in there that might inform her reaction?

The real Don Draper's wife knows about Betty, right? So if Betty shows up at her doorstep, she can cover.

I can't imagine what cover story she'd be able to come up with on the spot if Betty showed up with her divorce papers.

She knows Betty exists, I'm not sure if she knows what she looks like. If B. shows up and introduces herself, definitely.

I feel like Don brought Anna a picture of Betty when he came to ask for a divorce, but my memories of that ep are pretty fuzzy.

Did they get the divorce just in time for Don to marry Betty?

Eta: me, too. I know he was all giddy and besotted talking about her, there might have been a picture but I'm not sure.

I think they got it before Don asked her, but yeah, I'm sure Betty would have noticed a suspiciously short amount of time before Don's divorce and their wedding.

Mrs. Real!Draper could spin a pretty good tale out of half-truths - we were young, he was going off to war and we got married in a rush, when he came back we hardly knew each other and separated but we didn't legally divorce until he met you and fell in love. If she would want to is another question.

I can't imagine what cover story she'd be able to come up with even if she had weeks to figure it out. Isn't the truth the best "cover" in this case?

"Yes we're divorced, I don't care to discuss it."

Of course, Betty will probably lie and tell her that Don told her to come.
