Ep 7. Put That On Your Plate!

Midge's road to becoming a stand-up comic takes her to the world of television as she auditions to appear on a popular cooking show. With the help of her friend and manager, Susie, Midge prepares a routine that incorporates both her natural comedic talent and her knowledge of cooking. However, when the show's producers prove resistant to her more risqué material, Midge is forced to revise her act in order to fit within the show's constraints. As she works to navigate the tricky waters of network television, Midge finds her personal life becoming increasingly complicated as well. Just as she's beginning to make real progress with Joel, she discovers a devastating secret that threatens to upend their fragile reconciliation. Meanwhile, Susie has her own struggles to contend with as she tries to prove her worth to Midge's parents, who remain skeptical of her abilities as a manager. As the episode builds to a climactic finale, Midge must decide whether to compromise her integrity in the pursuit of fame, or stick to her beliefs and risk being rejected by the very industry she hopes to conquer.
