Midge still refused to go with him. As for her, he was a married man. However, refusing him seemed quite difficult, but her manager Susie’s call saved her. Her manager pitched the expo show and shed light on the deal she’s been forced into. So if Midge performed on the show, the duo would be free from all the threats.

Fight For The Play
That night, Rose and Abe went to see a play. However, they ended up arguing over the meaning behind the entire play.

Surprisingly, Rose won the argument as the play had nothing to do with Abe’s explanation. After losing from Rose, Abe and Rose returned home, and the awkwardness escalated when they learned the employees Janusz and Zelda were getting engaged.
Midge’s Revenge
Back at work, Midge told everyone about her awful expo script. However, soon the office vibes changed when a comic guest canceled the show at the last minute, leaving Gordon in a huff. But Midge seemed optimistic and believed it was her chance to be in the spotlight. She proposed her plan to replace the comedian in the show. However, Gordon declined, stating their rule: writers couldn’t perform. Although all the writers were standup comedians, they couldn’t act on the show. Disappointed by this rule, she prepared for another expo show. Her former husband and kids were in the audience, but she didn’t stress out. Conversely, she performed terribly, yawned on stage, forgot her lines, and interrupted the other performers.
Joel Concern
After watching Midge’s temper tantrum, Frank and Nicky lay into poor Susie. They told her how they own both Midge and Susie forever now. However, Susie completely misunderstood the situation and deal. But they seemed bounded to own them favors for the rest of their life. After learning this, Joel visited Susie and asked her what she had done now. In The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 Episode 4, he worried for Midge as she seemed involved with the mob and vowed to learn the truth.
