I think that's because Betty acts petty and childish when she's hurt or angry. Sally was acting childish because, well, she's a child. That's forgivable. Using your children as pawns because of jealously and self-loathing is not.
I don't think Sally will turn into her mother though. When her mother prodded her for informaion about how her little manipulation had played out, her response was was perfect. She simultaneously took the high road and took away her mother's satisfaction by playing it off as nothing. Seeing the manipulation for what it was, and being able to deflect it right back shows a lot more smarts than her mother ever has.
On another topic, I thought the three elevator scenes in this episode were brilliant for building tension. The episode starts by showing the confrontation between Roger/Don and Pete, then in the middle between Roger and Peggy/Michael and finally toward the end between Michael and Don. I thought showing the hostility spreading around full-circle in three parallel scenes was very clever.
