Joan suggests a movie, ‘The Apartment,’ with Shirley MacLaine. Roger proposes that he and Joan can do “anything this weekend,” because Mona and Margaret have left to go to Block Island. Roger gives Joan an invitation, in Long Weekend. It is clear that Roger wants Joan at his beck and call, however we do know that Joan is not going to be Roger's toy forever, she is looking for a more "permanent situation" and whether Roger fits the bill is questionable. We are once again clued into the nature of the relationship at hand. Joan claims she doesn't care if he takes her to “Cuba, I need a little notice.” Roger replies by teasing her that she has “a lot of rules.” (" Red in the Face") When Carol breaks up the moment between them, Roger takes Joan to one side and promises they will go away together one weekend, just not the one at hand. Joan rejects the idea citing that she could have taken her suitcase “anywhere this weekend, and I don’t mean your apartment.” Approaching her with the idea, while she freshens up, Roger sees a suitcase on Joan’s desk.
Roger flirts with the idea that Joan should come over to Roger’s house because Mona and Margaret are away for the weekend. The length of Joan and Roger's courtship is unknown until Season 4, where we learn that in fact their relationship dates back to the mid 1950s, signaling that Joan and Roger have invested a lot of time with each other. Also it reinforces the idea that Joan is a firm believer in discretion, especially when it comes to her personal life and the personal lives of others which she demonstrated in the previous episode "5G".

On the other hand we see Joan as a fairly modern woman, in the means of she knows how to use her sexuality in order to get what she wants. It also questions Rogers capacity to be in a monogamous relationship, and begs the question whether he is capable of being in a one-woman-relationship. Roger we now know has an apparent womanizing side, and is very possibly unhappy with his marriage to Mona. In this episode we are introduced more and more into both Roger and Joan's characters. They stand on the same side of the street, feet apart waiting for a taxi. The episode ends with Joan and Roger getting dressed and making their way out of the hotel, while a collaborative montage of “Babylon” plays. Roger soon tells her that he hates the thought of “sharing” her as he unzips her dress, to which she replies, “You don’t have to share me now.” While on the bed as Roger begins to talk about Mona, and in a moment of heated passion, Joan stops him to cover the birdcage back up, before they resume making love. Joan laughs at the gesture, questioning, “What am I supposed to do with it?” After embracing her Joan hears bird sounds coming from a covered up object from across the room, she utters to Roger, “You didn’t.” Roger uncovers the object to reveal a bird cage, with a bird inside it.
A group filled with lascivious men stand to salute her, while Roger stares on in a libidinous daze.Īfter a day of complete bedlam, Joan once again meets Roger in a hotel room.

Joan emphasizes that although she has Roger, she’s on the look for a more “permanent situation” a fact Roger seems to not want to face.ĭuring a test group for Belle-Jolie lipsticks, knowing full well Roger will be the other side of a two-way-mirror, in an attempt of slight titillation, Joan bends over the table to reveal her physique, while putting out a cigarette. After asking him whether he “likes things the way they are,” Roger expresses that he is happy and that he’s even contemplated leaving his wife, although he would like to “lock her up for a week,” insinuating he would like her all to himself. In order to lighten the mood Roger jokes she could get a bird, claiming they are “neat for animals”. After bantering back and forth, Roger wishes Joan could get her own apartment where she could “cook for him” where Joan articulates the fact that it would be “half as much fun” if she lived alone. After Roger tries to convince her to come back to bed, Joan reminds him she has to return to work. From the bathroom, Joan comes out in only a slip and reminds Roger that she’s only a young girl and he is being too hard on her. We cut to a hotel room, where Roger is laid on a rumpled bed, only in boxer shorts and suspender socks, talking about his 16-year-old daughter's past two relationships.
Roger and Joan make after-work plans, in Babylon. During a brief run-in with Mona and Margaret, Roger’s wife and daughter, Joan and Roger share momentary eye contact before Joan cunningly and cleverly books Margaret a haircut for the afternoon.
