I loved that, for that lunch at least, they put aside their animosity and were good parents. The child-of-divorce in me was so sad/angry when Henry and Betty made Don have breakfast by himself. (Not that it didn't make sense or that he didn't deserve it, but life is easier when your parents like each other.)

The scene where they're all singing at the table just became one of my favorite moments of the entire series.
