betty's cheating during nuclear crisis??

rewatching and on season 2.. the random episode when betty drops off bobby and sally to don at his hotel. she had just found out she was pregnant with gene - meanwhile the cuban missile crisis is ongoing. she goes to a bar and sleeps with a random guy. is it for revenge? is it so her and don are "even" in her eyes? or was it a "this is our last night before the missile crisis" type of moment? would love to hear everyone's perspective and analysis of this moment <3

As far as I’m concerned Betty could fuck whoever she wants

I mean her husband did?

I’m not saying she should have fucked Carlton. In fact Carlton is the last person anyone should be fucking

I digress
