“Not dead yet!”

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I think I saw it much the same way Barb did.

And I think the doctor has her number.

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

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I interpreted it that Dr. Edna was ensuring confidentiality and Betty liked that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yay! Elizabeth in the same room as Peter!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Who's playing Natasha on Covert Affairs?

According to imdb it's Liane Balaban. She's done a lot of single episodes of series here and there, but I didn't really recognize her from anything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
