The Party Circuit

Midge has a falling out with Susie. She is starting to go to parties with her department store friends, and the casual atmosphere allows her to speak freely. She is hilarious, but Susie realizes this is a dead end. She needs exposure and money, and this is not helping. Also, her father gets a high powered job and the results (with Tony Shaloub) are hilarious.
