Meanwhile, Susie is dealing with the fallout from the previous episode, where she got arrested for impersonating a police officer. She has to attend court and faces the possibility of jail time, which puts a strain on her relationship with Midge.

To add to her stress, Midge's mother, Rose, has flown to Paris to join her father on a business trip, leaving her alone to juggle her responsibilities at home and on the stage. This leads to some hilarious moments as Midge tries to balance cooking, cleaning, and writing new material, all while dealing with the demands of her agent and manager.

As the episode progresses, we see Midge struggle with the decision of whether or not to sign a contract with a big comedy club, which would require her to put her personal life on hold and focus solely on her career.
