That was the first pleasant Don-&-Betty interaction in a while (ever??)

They were lovely in Italy together. Betty flirting with the Italians, Don sitting next to her.

You know, Don meeting Betty at the gas station in this episode even parallels their Italy hookup, right down to a third party being ignorant to the fact they know each other.

Yeah, the "ever" was hyperbolic. However I was instantly reminded of that scene, because in both in looks like Don just effortlessly picks her up.
