At the very end I think Betty showed a tiny sign of thinking beyond herself. When she asked the Doctor if she would share what Sally said, and the Doctor answered No, that that was between her and Sally and that anything Betty said to the Doctor was Confidential as well. And Betty "That's better". So Betty liked that the doctor would not betray Sally the way the Doctor who Don found betrayed Betty. And of course still selfish, because it makes the Doctor more competent to "fix" Sally. But still a longer term selfishness that requires a certain empathy with someone else, an ability to see the similarity between her situation and Sally's in that limited case.

I loved this week's Leverage. Silly me, I didn't imagine that Nate would have a tale to tell, since he was involved in everyone else's. I thought the ultimate comeuppance would have been in Parker's hands (go Hardison for beating out Eliot and Sophie!). Totally fell for that misdirect.
When she asked the Doctor if she would share what Sally said, and the Doctor answered No, that that was between her and Sally and that anything Betty said to the Doctor was Confidential as well. And Betty "That's better". So Betty liked that the doctor would not betray Sally the way the Doctor who Don found betrayed Betty.
Oh, see, I totally read that the opposite. The "That's better," rang with a slight bit of disappointment, akin to "Oh, yes, of course," as if it's what would be expected, but underscored with disappointment because it's not what she wanted to hear. Betty comes from a background where secrets weren't allowed. And she was monumentally betrayed by secrets being kept from her. So she's torn in half on that score. She wishes she'd been able to keep secrets (and has in fact, kept secrets herself, with respect to her backroom tryst at the bar after she found out she was pregnant with Gene and of course, her burgeoning relationship with Henry), but she was never able to keep secrets from her mother at Sally's age, so why should Sally be granted a freedom she never experienced?
Or I could have it completely wrong.
Huh. Your interpretation did not even occur to me. Now I need to rewatch the end to figure out what the body language convey's. Remembering it I thought Betty showed relaxation and warmth of tone made it sincere and literal. But that could be interpretation coloring memory.
I think I saw it much the same way Barb did.
And I think the doctor has her number.
I thought she literally meant that the confidentiality would be better than her previous shrink reporting to Don, but I don't think she was particularly thinking about what would be good for Sally, except maybe insofar that Sally's sessions being confidential was a fair price for her own consultations also being confidential.
I interpreted it that Dr. Edna was ensuring confidentiality and Betty liked that.
Yay! Elizabeth in the same room as Peter!
