Plot[]
Midge hones her comedy act and tries out different stage names. Susie works to get Midge to open for comedian Sophie Lennon. Rose seeks consolation from her psychic after Midge refuses to reconcile with Joel. Joel breaks up with Penny Pann. After receiving a big work promotion, he outlines to Abe how he will support Midge and the children, though Abe notes it leaves little for Joel. Midge visits Sophie Lennon, discovering that the beloved comedian "from Queens" is a rich and arrogant Yale drama graduate. Onstage "Sophie" is a gimmicky character in a fat suit. She tells Midge that female comics need a fake persona to succeed in comedy. Later at The Gaslight, Midge lampoons expectations imposed on female comedians. She ridicules Sophie Lennon's corny act and also exposes her real life. Sophie's agent, Harry Drake, in the audience to watch Midge perform, is furious and walks out.
