A very hungover, very confused Lenny Bruce (hallelujah!)

(Hey, Bruce, if Zelda says you have wrinkled pants, then theyre bad pants.

We dont wear aprons and discuss potty-training, says Lenny, who is in amood.

Over in Times Square, Susie Myerson and Associates is the busiest talent agency in town.

The good news is Sophie got theNBC game-show gig.

The bad news is Sophies renewed success means shes reverted to her sociopathic self.

As in, Dawes is back doing her bidding (Susie: Oh, goody, Humbert Humbert).

As in, Sophie wont respect Susies boundaries.

The deal was Susie helps Sophie restart her career; after that, they would part ways.

At the Wolford, at least Midges production changes positively affect both morale and the balance sheet.

Its the perfect time for Susie to step in and start negotiating for a cut of the bar sales.

But will Midges raise even be enough to get her out of the red?

Now that her refrigerator is broken, she must beg Moishe to delay her next mortgage payment.

No, not in entertainment in journalism!

Oh,The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, how you frustrate me and then totally get me.

After Midge is trashed yet again in anL.

Except L. Roy Dunham isnt a man; shes a woman.

Nope, she remains steadfastly clueless to L. Roys situation: a woman working in a mans world.

A woman trying to be noticed by her colleagues.

A woman who wants to be something more than just a skirt.

Sound familiar, Midge?

Thats why L. Roy keeps writing about Mrs. Maisel.

Dont ice her out.

Apparently, breaking and entering is Sophies messed-up way of asking for Midges help.

Especially not when Sophie knows the depths of Midges debt (she naturally hired a private investigator).

Dont do it, Midge.

Remember what I said earlier about L. Roy being an ally?

Allies are important, and I think Rose is going to need one or two herself.

the grande dame of the Palladino-verse,Kelly Bishop.

Hmmm, funny how they mention Midge.

Dont they know she isnt one for backing down against career adversaries?

Its something she learned from her mother.

(Wow, talk about bad timing.)

The two comics initially trade barbs only for their mutual disdain to quickly devolve into a stand-up smackdown.

Getting Midge back to basics doesnt mean we need to rehash the first two seasons.

Hes not a man; hes Joel.

Never have truer words been spoken, Susie.

The yellow teddy bears in Ethan and Esthers room were a nice throwback to Midgesseason three big ask.

Mei is pregnant, and now Im intrigued as to whats going to happen next.
