Midge has been invited to Shy Baldwins wedding. She only goes with Suzy to get free food and booze. She has a run in with Shy and they confront each other about what happened last season. I loved the production in this episode. The dialogue as always is so rapid fire witty and smart. Joel tries to get Mei to meet his parents which does not work out. Also Sophie is back on t.v. I enjoyed this episode and think this season has been great so far.

A Really Superb Episode
Hitchcoc7 March 2022
For starters we finally get to have the meeting of Midge and Shai Baldwin. She is invited to his wedding reception by accident and she and Suzy attend. They are disruptive but there is an emptiness. The actual encounter is low key but poignant. Suzy gets a place to have her office and there is no question there will be some hell to pay. It seems the hit men have used this place. There is a great bit where Suzy is trying to hire a secretary. Also, Jane Lynch is awesome as the former comedienne down on her luck. I can't wait for the next show.
Soooo much going on

This series is put together with care. Season 4 especially. The track music, for instance, in this one is subtly brilliant. Playing 'It's so nice to have a man about the house' at Shai's wedding? Hilarious. There's stuff like that throughout this episode.
Quickly - The old joke about Jewish Mothers and matchmakers is merged into both Miriam and Joel's mothers' story lines. Both meddle. Both are matchmakers. One professionally the other obsessively. - Jane Lynch is so good as the disturbed but still show business addicted Sophie Lennon that the viewer gets to experience her as both a train wreck and a sympathetic character. The sweet spot all professional talk show guests seek. And Lynch is so good at it. - There's a resolution with Shai on Midge's terms that seems right and is done intelligently. The part as the met and where they met. For all of her quirks and starts and stops the essential honorable character of Mrs. Maisel is on display. - Personally, I don't like the way the Asian girlfriend's dialogue is presented. She comes across as a scripted TV character whose delivery is rapid in order to squeeze it in before the next commercial break. The director should slow her pace down. - Susie Meyerson sort of begins to seriously establish herself as an agent and we're getting to the point with that character that he incredibly lack of awareness or rudimentary understanding of basic social graces is getting harder and harder to accept. She's meeting with other agents, lives in New York and has lived with Midge. Time for some of that to rub off on her.

AMAZING! Why so much criticism?

I don't understand why some people don't like this fourth season. For me it's the best of them all. It's making things very interesting with a very good development of each of the characters. This episode in particular is the best proof of that, I can't wait to see how one of the most underrated shows of today continues to evolve!

Something's different
marcresto6 March 2022
I don't know if the writers are different but the show is.
The dialogue is all different.
It's more costumes and dancing then quality dialogue The characters as the parents are actually ridiculous and offensive to me even though I'm not Jewish you're bad stereotypes that Tony shalhoub and Kevin Pollock are better than
I don't know that I'll continue to watch it or not but episode 5 season 4 is a little better than the others.

Over acting mei!
shaahin_ghaderi24 January 2023
Watching this show and came to realize, the actress who plays Mei over-acts a lot
Just look at her.. who found her & why is she so annoying and not appealing at all. And all of a sudden I am questioning the whole season of series, why nothing serious is happening to others besides Lucy, and we are on ep.#5 what happend to this show?
The storyline of side characters are so boring much of the time, the excitement is not there anymore and jokes are repetitive. The worst part is many viewers doesn't seems to notice this. If you want to see the peak of the show, rewatch season one and two But in my opinion this show is plunging this season.
Writers did the show dirty.
