In what only took years, Midge and Joel's divorce is officially finalized. Joel goes to court with Midge, confusing the judge, who questions why they are getting a divorce since they appear to be so amicable, but he comes around to banging the gavel.
The newly divorced coparents are on friendly terms when Midge leaves for Las Vegas to start the tour in the states. At least friendly enough to encourage Joel to take a plane out to Vegas and catch her show. Everything goes down smoothly, including the drinks. That is, until they wake up with massive hangovers and a ring on Midge's finger. Turns out they got hitched AGAIN in the hotel chapel. An annulment is mentioned, but we don't actually see anything signed. So either we're supposed to assume they got it annulled, or maybe they're still married?
Joel starts dating Mei Lin, whose family runs the secret gambling ring hidden underneath Joel's new nightclub in Chinatown. She's smart and in law school, and she keeps him in check. They are pretty cute.
