Plot[]
Midge regularly entertains (unpaid) at parties hosted by her new B. Altman friends, performing alongside Randall, a comic who later introduces her to his William Morris agent. Abe, a Columbia University math professor, is recruited to join Bell Labs. Midge, Abe and Rose, and Midge's brother, Noah, and his wife, Astrid (a gentile who converted to Judaism), celebrate at a Chinese restaurant. The occasion turns awkward when the family realizes that Joel and Penny Pann are also dining there. Susie sternly tells Midge to stop entertaining at parties and start seriously pursuing a comedy career. Midge apologizes after Susie discovers Midge talked to another agent. They agree to formalize their partnership. As the episode ends, Virgil and Oz from the record store are seen laughing at a tape recording of Midge's earlier comic performances. They label the tape as "Mrs. X at the Gaslight", intending to sell it.
