NOTE: this post contains spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 episode 9 "Four Minutes."
It's 1965 at a dingy club in San Francisco. A grungy Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby) is performing, but he's bombing. No longer the suave cultural commentator, he rants aimlessly while the crowd looks confused. After the show Susie (Alex Borstein) finds him and offers to represent him to help him get back on his feet, but he refuses. He asks if Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) is with Susie. She says no. But Midge is there. She saw the performance and is visibly upset by how far Lenny has fallen. Susie promises she will try again the next time she sees him.
