Synopsis
Susie ropes Midge into performing in an industrial musical.[1]
Plot
Frank and Nicky insist that Midge perform in an industrial musical, implying it will alleviate Susie's obligation to them. Midge rebuffs Gordon Ford's romantic advances. Abe and Rose disagree over a new play's meaning until the playwright validates Rose's opinion, briefly offending Abe. Midge's first performance in the waste-management skit is a hit. When Gordon's scheduled guest star suddenly bails, Midge offers to perform but discovers staff are never allowed on the show. Disappointed, Midge goes off script at her second industrial performance, infuriating Frank and Nicky. They sternly warn Susie, clarifying the scope of their prior arrangement, that she, and by extension, Midge, are forever indebted to them. Joel, overhearing the conversation, confronts Susie about her mob ties. Sophie Lennon makes a last-minute surprise appearance on Gordon's show. Gordon's wife, Hedy, sees Susie and pursues her to the street, revealing their college relationship ended badly.
