We are getting scarily close to the end of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel now. In the penultimate episode, Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) reflects on her life so far and pushes forwards for a spot on the Gordon Ford Show to secure her legacy.
Meanwhile, Joel (Michael Zegen) and Abe (Tony Shalhoub) are also at a crossroads in their lives, filled with regrets of their past mistakes.
It’s a nostalgic installment that poignantly addresses life, love, and legacy as we progress toward the season finale. Here’s what happened in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5, Episode 8:
- Midge and Joel meet at Ethan’s school. They reflect on key moments from their relationships. Joel asks Midge out for a drink.

- At work, Hedy lands the guest of the year, booking Princess Margaret for the show. The writers work on new material.
- The show is a hit, Princess Margaret is perfect, and Midge produces a hilarious weather report skit. After the show, Hedy congratulates Midge. They talk about Susie; Midge is surprised to hear that Hedy was her old roommate.

Predictions
- Gordon will reluctantly book Midge for a spot on his show. Midge will prepare for the show, working tirelessly on her set. Susie will make sure that Midge’s performance is perfect and that she gets the right spot in the line-up.
- The other writers will complain. They have wanted to be on the show for years now. Gordon will say that he was forced into this. It isn’t his fault. He may try and sabotage her performance.
- Joel will win over Midge, and they will start to date each other again. Unfortunately, he will be arrested just before they can be a couple once more.
- Flash-forwards will explore the later stages of Midge and Susie’s lives. Joel will be released from prison and reunited with Midge. Susie and Midge will make friends again. I’m expecting an emotional ending. What are your predictions for the season finale?
It wouldn’t be a complete AMM Episode without some Kind of Inclusion of Lenny Bruce. He is woven into the fabric of the show.
This was an Amazing Show! I really enjoyed every episode ?. Hats off to the producers, writers and the awesome Actors.
Felt it lost it’s way from season 4. Did not enjoy it like in the beginning of the series . So kind of glad as I felt compelled to see it to the end . Just reached episode 8 season 5. Costumes and acting was good . Just the story wasn’t so great by season 4 .
