Sophie wants to be a serious actress, and Susie makes it happen for her. That is, until Sophie chokes and blows it all up. On the opening night of Miss Julie, the Broadway play Susie puts together from scratch, she messes up her lines and goes full Sophie from Queens. The play is canceled, and so is Sophie.
One person who does pull off a great show is Joel. His club opens and is packed on its debut night.
Speaking of poor performances, Midge gets the chance to play at the Apollo Theater and open for Shy. Midge goes off book and makes Shy the victim in her scathing act. Her jokes allude to Shy's sexual orientation, and though the innuendos are lost on the 1960s audience, they hit close to home for Shy. Midge goes too far, because when she and Susie arrive at the tarmac to take off for the European tour, Reggie comes out to inform them that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will no longer be opening for Shy Baldwin.
Season three ends with a heartbroken Susie and Midge standing at the tarmac as the plane takes off without them.
