Mad Men (Spoiler)
Skip if you haven't seen "Six Month Leave."
Why did Betty flirt with Arthur in order to set him up to lunch solo with Sara Beth? I'm not clear on her motivation in setting up a date between an engaged man and a reasonably happy married woman. Was it because she wanted Sara Beth to get some of the positive attention that Arthur is clearly giving away? Or because she wanted to trouble another decent marriage (to, we are told, an entirely blameless good provider) with infidelity the way hers was/is? Or, and I'm just spitballin' here, was it to show that she can still manipulate men with her comeliness, the way she did with the tow truck driver? I didn't get what was going on there.
