Glen Bishop is the son of Helen Bishop.

Because the babysitter had canceled, Helen begs Betty to keep an eye on her son, Glen, while she heads to the Kennedy headquarters. Compared to the Draper residence, Helen's house is a mess.

Betty has Glen watch TV, while she heads off to the bathroom, and as soon as she sits down she is interrupted by Glen, who stands at the doorway and watches her. She yells at him, and closes the door. He is upset and cries and apologizes. She accepts his apology. Later, he asks her for a piece of her hair, which she cuts off a small lock and gives it to him.^[1]

Helen later finds Betty's hair in her son Glen's treasure box.^[2]

Betty sees Glen in the passenger seat of his mother's car, parked at the bank. He tells her that he's not supposed to talk to her. She responds that she, "can't talk to anyone -- I'm so sad." He reaches his hand up to her and tells her that he wishes he were older.^[3]

Later, Glen runs away from home and hides in the Draper's backyard playhouse. A few days later Betty finds him, brings him into the house and lets him shower. Afterwards, Glen takes Betty's hand, saying, "I came to rescue you." Glen had taken money, and says that they can flee together. Betty has to call Helen, which upsets Glen to the point where he tells her that he hates her.^[4]

In late 1964, while Henry Francis, Betty, Bobby and Sally are shopping for a Christmas tree, Sally runs into Glen, who is working at the Christmas tree stand. He shows her a pocket knife attached to a woven lanyard that he made, and tells her that he will call Sally later. After Sally tells him that she hates it at home, he later breaks into the Draper residence and trashes the house, leaving Sally's room untouched. Sally finds his lanyard on her pillow and smiles.^[5]

Sally talked to Glen in her free time, on occasion he would offer her cigarettes and Coca Cola. One day Betty saw both of them walking together into the wooded area they hung out in, and confronted her, Glen running away in the process.^[6]

While the Francis' residence was being packed up, Glen visited to say goodbye. Carla was not sure if she should let him visit, but allowed it. Glen said farewell to Sally in her room, telling her that in a few years he would be old enough to visit her. On his way out Betty arrived home, and the two ended up in a verbal confrontation. After yelling at Glen, he responded that just because She was sad, that it didn't mean everyone had to be before leaving the house.^[7]
