We get to see a side of Susie we haven't seen before. It's clear she's thrown away Midge'd money along with hers but the emotional breakdown changes her character for the viewer dramatically.
Midge's downfall is clear from the minute Reggie says "talk about Shy". What viewer sees as the "don't open the door" Midge sees as a wrlcome mat. So the plot twist isn't a twist to anyone except Midge. The apparent f'up with the contract is the twist we don't expect.
Having actually seen Mams Mabely I can tell you that Wanda Sykes was great in that role.
