The New Girl - Episode 5

Anyone for commenting on a little office hijinks as things begin to get interesting with the SC gang?
Episode recap:
Pete and Trudy see the fertility specialist. Pete worried about the present state of the world and its consequences. Joan gets engaged - see her new ring (? ) Rachel gets married...see her new husband (!) Bobbi and Don attempt a drive to Long Island together, wind up crashing their car. Peggy Olson rescues the hapless couple- bailing out Don from jail and giving Bobbie digs while her black eye turn to a more managable color. During her stay, Bobbie decides to give Peggy some of her older woman wisdom. Peggy has a first flashback (at this point) to her visit from her mother/sister after giving birth....then a second flashback before Bobbie leaves when Don gave her his hospital advice to move foward with her life. Bobbie's advice was "You can't be a man - be a woman" Don's advice is to move forward with your life as if certain things never happened.
Betty (still unaware of the real reason for the lost night) worries about Don's latest "confession" - he has high blood pressure. Jane Seigal is a big hit at the office and attracts all the men Ken, Paul and (yuk) Harry... Don in a sling now at the office is aloof saying she needs to last at least make a month to matter.
By the end of the show it is revealed Pete's sperm is normal, and and Peggy can incorporate all of the confusion around her very well. She thanks Don as he repays her a portion of the bail money and is cool when she greets Bobbie and her husband when they arrive to see Don. The episodes concludes with Betty withholding salt from Don because as she explained to the children "we love him."
