The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2, Episode 9 takes Midge out of the clubs and puts her on TV. What could possibly go wrong?

There’s a telethon to raise money in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2, Episode 9 and Susie manages to land Midge a spot. At first, everything looks good. What could possibly go wrong? It might has something to do with Sophie Lennon turning up.

Well, actually, it definitely has something to do with Sophie. Still raw from Midge calling her out in a routine (why can comics dish it out but not take it?), Sophie uses her influence to push Midge to the very last spot performing on the telethon. Hardly anyone will be watching then, but Midge is gracious about it.

With a running gag of Susie and Midge going in and out of the control room and getting shouted at to leave, knowing that the control room will love them by the end of it, Midge goes on camera and wows all. She has the audience that’s left and the control room in stitches. Her performance even leads to a few more people calling in to donate, with Midge making the answering of the phones as part of her routine.

And that’s not all. During the night, Midge runs into singer Shy Baldwin in the ladies’ room. Yep, he prefers there because it smells better and there are bigger mirrors. That leads to the two chatting about how he has comics open for him on tour and hates Sophie Lennon. You just know this is going to come up later. Stay tuned for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2 finale recap for how it plays a part.

It also turns out that Abe stayed up to watch his daughter on TV. He’ll never tell her, but you can see that he’s proud of her. Not only is he watching but he can hear someone else in a building across the street watching. Midge is doing good.

As for Susie, well, the death threats seemed to have just disappeared. Not sure when that happened but Susie decides to give Sophie a piece of her mind. With a short threat and some nasty words, she makes it clear that everything against Midge has to stop.

With that, we’re moving into the final episode of the season and another wait for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 3. Check in tomorrow for the recap of the finale.
