Susies success, like Midges, also came at ahugecost.
(3) The love of Susies life, Hedy (a.k.a.
Mrs. Gordon Ford), has reappeared after a 15-year absence.
The rules of payback start to sink in as Susie promises to talk to Midge.
Im just as sheltered as Midge, and evenIknow thats not true.
Meanwhile, the morning after thebig ice-skating party, everyone ishungoverat theGordon Fordoffices.
Theyre so hungover that the writers room dudes are singing The Caisson Song at half-speed today.
This phone conversation also brings us closer to Susies connection with Hedy Ford.
Susies voice quivers when Midge asks if she knows anything about Gordons wife.
She gets defensive and starts spewing nonsense about how wives shouldnt exist.
Yep, sounds like a broken heart to me, all right.
Private Demolition and Waste Management Association (and Susies limbs) be damned.
Thats when Gordon gently explains she cant ever be a guest on his show.
So, Midge is in a terrible mood when she arrives at the expo that afternoon.
She informs Susie about Gordons nonsensical rule and now theyrebothin terrible moods.
And, oh, yay, Joel, Ethan, and Esther are there too.
Furious over, well, everything, Midge goes rogue during the show.
She upstages everyone else with either snide commentary about the terrible script or visible boredom.
Susie is all, Huh?
The mob owns her and, by extension, Midge.
I feel for Susie here because shes frightened and ready to crumble.
Joel, however, overheard every one of Frank and Nickys threats.
Susie tearfully resists his offer to help, but there is no way Joel will let this go.
Especially considering that Midge is still under the impression that the waste-management gig released Susie from her mob debt.
Since Susie cant fix her Frank and Nicky problem, she decides to tackle herGordon Ford Showproblem instead.
She barges into 30 Rock to yell at Mike Carr about the no-staffers-on-the-show rule, but hes unsympathetic.
It turns out the Susie-Mike tiff was just a setup for Susies run-in with Hedy Ford.
But this was 1946 America, and Hedy felt societal pressure, so she married a man.
(We all sawwhat happened to Shy Baldwinlast season.)
Hedy did what she had to do for her own security.
I dont blame Susie for walking off before hashing things out with Hedy, though.
This unexpected reunion was the last thing she needed after the day she had.
Zelda and Janusz are engaged!
Abes silent rose-petal reconciliation with Rose was so cute.
The Sophie Lennon cameo was a nice reminder that Midge eventually eclipses Sophies star power.
The Put That on Your Plate!
