This was such a poignant episode. We continue to see the tension building when it comes to Susie and Midge's relationship. She continues to write for the Ford show. She actually does a whole bit for an appearance by Princess Margaret who has shown up in New York. The bit is absolutely hilarious. But Midge gets no credit for it because of Ford's incredible ego. He wants her as a writer, but is afraid of her potential as a performer (he has seen her). We have a couple of really intense moments. One is the reappearance of Lenny Bruce who has fallen to the pits and will never recover. Then, we finally have Abe and his peers, meeting for drinks, and realizing they have not moved forward. Ford's wife is the one who gets Princess Margaret on the show. We are made privy to some relationship between her and Susie that will play out later. I notice that someone gave this show a single star. This is one of the most creative shows ever on TV. Get a life.
