In other words, there area lotof cliffhangers.
On the plus side, organizing the events of All Alone by cliffhanger makes unpacking the episode far easier.
So, lets dive in:
Question: Is Midge and Benjamins engagement over before it even happened?
Answer:Unclear, though signs point to yes.
Regardless, I hope this isnt the end of Zachary Levis character, because he sure didnt deserve this.
Question: Will Susie become Sophie Lennons manager?
As of now, shes supposedly going along with Midge on Shy Baldwins tour.
No word on whether shes bringing hernew fur coat.
Question: What exactly was Abe up to during his activist years?
Question: Are Abe and Rose going to be homeless?
Answer:Only if Abe follows through on his planned resignation from Columbia.
The one snag with that plan?
Rose reminds him that Columbia owns the Weissmans apartment.
Furthermore, I cannot wait to see how Midge is going to factor into this.
(Im assumingAbe found out about Midges arreststhrough his relationship with Michael.)
Question: Are Midge and Joel ever going to divorce?
Answer:Who knows?
Answer:You know what would solidifyThe Marvelous Mrs. Maiselas an unapologetically feminist show?
Question: Is Midge going on Shy Baldwins tour?
Answer:God, I hope so.
Turns out Susie isnt the only one fielding impressive job offers this episode.
), Midge firstplotzes, then accepts.
Maybe not today, maybe not in six months, but someday.
Because shes earned it.
She can figure out the rest of her life next season.

One ofMaisels biggest strengths is its continued spotlight on the atrocious double standard women faced in comedy in 1959.
I look forward to more of this in season three.
