The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel aired its finale episode on Friday, May 26. And quite frankly, it was marvelous.
“Nothing is ever perfect, but I can’t think of a more perfect way to end [the series],” Marin Hinkle, who plays Rose Weissman, said at the show's finale screening in Los Angeles. Said Alex Borstein, who plays Susie Myerson, “It felt like giving a daughter away at a wedding, like holy shit, my work here is done. My child is fully baked.” (Let this also serve as a warning that there are major finale spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you're not caught up.)The episode, titled “Four Minutes,” opens in 1965, with Lenny Bruce struggling on a small, smoke-filled stage.
Susie watches from the sidelines, devastated that Bruce's demons are getting the best of him. The real Bruce died in 1966, and it's all but implied in this scene that the end is near. Even so, Susie tries to help him.
He's not interested, but before she leaves, he asks if Midge is there. Susie says no, but moments later we see Midge backstage. “He's a mess, Miriam,” Susie relays.Susie visits Lenny at a club in 1965.The next scene opens four years earlier, in 1961, with Susie sleeping on a park bench.
When the cops try to get her to move, she puts up a fight and is arrested. Midge is called to bail her out, which explains why she ran out of work before Gordon could tell her she's going to appear on his show. After Susie is released, Susie confesses she asked Hedy to help get Midge on The Gordon Ford Show.
Midge appreciates the gesture but quickly changes topics to talk about Susie's personal life. It's then that Susie admits she was involved with Hedy years earlier. “It was an unnatural pairing," she says.

Fred Mills (R-New Iberia), the committee chairman and a pharmacist by trade, voted to defer the bill rather than pass it out of committee.Mills said his decision was heavily influenced by a 2022 Louisiana Health Department study on gender-affirming health care, which found that no gender-affirming surgical procedures had been performed on any minors enrolled in Medicaid in the state between 2017 and 2021.Instances in which medications, such as hormones or puberty blockers, were prescribed to transgender minors were also exceedingly rare, according to the report.Mills said he trusts physicians more than legislators to make medical decisions in a patient’s best interests.“I always in my heart of hearts have believed that a [medical] decision should be made by a patient and a physician,” he said, according to The Hill.Had it passed, the bill would have barred healthcare professionals from prescribing gender-affirming treatments to minors, or referring minor patients to places where they could obtain such treatments.
