Synopsis
Midge’s mouth gets her in trouble at work and Abe obsesses over a mistake.[1]
Plot
One of Midge's jokes is finally used in Gordon Ford's monologue, but she audibly groans when he flubs it on air. Midge's subsequent apology ends in a public argument. Frank and Nicky get involved after Rose seeks Susie's help regarding the Matchmakers. When head Matchmaker Benedetta is arrested for the Tea Room fire, she proposes a truce, saying the other three Matchmakers either died or are hiding. Joel tells his parents about him and Mei; Shirley's grief over losing an unborn grandchild leads her and Moishe to reconcile. Abe is distressed after misspelling Carol Channing's name in an article, requiring a printed correction, causing him to give young Ethan a frightening pep talk. Ford makes an unsuccessful pass at Midge. A photo in Gordon's office shocks Susie.
Flashforward: In 1984 Israel, 29-year-old Ethan Maisel works in a kibbutz and is studying to be a Rabbi. Midge arrives by helicopter just to remind Ethan they are attending a benefit in Tel Aviv. As Midge leaves, Chava, Ethan's dour fiancée, bluntly says she dislikes his mother.
