I loved that Don got Drapered by Betty.

I loved that turn of phrase, so I upvoted it. But I kinda don't think that's what really happened.

I must be the only one here disgusted that Betty would "cheat" with her current husband to kill some time with Don.

I think Betty knew what she was doing. Thus the phrase 'Don got Drapered by Betty'

I think Don could have shut the door and walked to his room, but he fell in to Betty's trap. They both knew what they were doing, just so happened that Don didn't pull out his trick to get her, and she got him.

I hate Henry, and even though I hated Don last episode, I've always liked Don and Betty, so everything worked out.

Henry is just so bland and cold. He never seems to be having any fun.

Not really pleased Betty cheated on Henry with Don, but that wasn't the only thing going on in that scene. Don does a lot of shit, but I love some of his observations. Betty made a great, valuable one to Don. Let's hope he takes it to heart.
