I think it's such a cool detail how Midge and Shy have their first interaction in a bathroom and have their (probably) last interaction in another bathroom.

[elizabethbudd]

She should have left the door open to Shy after what she did to him. Instead, "I thought we were friends. I'm not falling for that again." He thought you were friends too, darling, and you outed him and put his career and I dare say life in danger. I still love you, Midge, but your apology was half-hearted.

[feelingReckless]

The two things I wanted from s4 were for Midge to apologize to Shy and for someone to finally get through to her that she was being dumb about refusing to do opening acts. So glad we got both.

[fatimamenawa]

This comment section is wrong in so many ways, y’all completely missed the point of what happened with shy. This was one of the moments that truly showed just how privileged and in over her head midge can sometimes act. Shy is a black gay man in the 60’s people get lynched just for being black not to mention being gay?!? Her words had an impact on this man’s life and she was so focused on being funny she forgot to check herself. She even realizes it when you see how the corporate side of the business completely isolated him and forced him to give up his friends and identity in order to keep his livelihood. Where do you get off feeling sympathy for midge in this situation much less being mad at shy of all people?

[tiyabear]

Midge has a real problem with not understanding boundaries. Her joking about her own life is fine, but what she did to Shy (which could’ve gotten him killed if you’re keeping score at home) showed she learned nothing from how much she hurt her friend by telling the whole wedding about her pregnancy. You have to be careful about using friends for content if you truly value those friendships. Them not being friends is very much on her.

As cute and clever and fun as this show can be, it sometimes gives us really touching, beautifully written scenes with stellar acting, like this one.

[LADYJOKER]

The sad reality to live your dream but couldn’t live your truth I cry for Shy and the others that had to live that lie for their entire lives.

[elizabethallen]

She should have started the whole encounter with a sincere apology. Not make it all about her and what she needed from the Apollo audience.

[kgoofy]

“Congratulations, I hope you’re going to be very happy Dwayne” that’s fucking cruel

[jaclyn]

Wow i have no idea how they got those mirror shots without you clearly seeing the camera. Neat little cinematography trick

[vastucson]

A beautiful scene, well-written and acted.

[NisaFashionista]

I literally kept yelling at my tv “Midge, Stop it!” “You’re exposing him!”

[NoFirstNoLastName]

Midge not letting him in is f*cked up. She didn’t just make a bad call. She could have put his life in danger and she expects him to just let her go with him? He could have been killed.

The fact that he even wants to see her again shows a forgiveness in him that she doesn’t deserve.

I love Midge as a character, but this wasn’t right and I can’t tell if the show is trying to say she is or not. It’s not a mid “both sides wrong” either.

[LySssAyce]

Midge is the main character. Of course, everyone is going to want to root for her. However, she nearly destroyed Shys' entire rep and career. He was right to fire her. He just handled it wrong.

[_adrian_sean]

🙄🙄🙄 did she really just gaslight him ?? GIIIRRRRLLLL if he would've been outed he could've been KILLED... BLACKLISTED... JAILED

[lys]

This comment section did really not understand the scene at all.

Midge ruined his life. And even in this scene she makes it all about herself never acknowledging that she is the reason for all of this.

[feiny]

It is an understatement to say that this is my favorite show of all time and also an understanding to say that I'm looking forward to season 5 the final season coming next month and an even bigger understatement to say I'm going to miss the show once it's over but thank goodness with streaming services. I can watch it over and over again if my sad silly heart desires

[shernitajackson]

I cried with Midge when Reggie wouldn't let her and Susie on that plane. Great scene! I wish the writers would allow Reggie and Susie to cross paths again in Season 5!

People forget that jokes can go too far
Even tho maisel didn’t mean too (and I guess the other dude DID technically tell her to do it)
It’s still pretty messed up
This is in the 60s there was HEAVY restrictions and HEAVY discrimination back then
If shy was outed as gay it would utterly DESTROY him
It’s all pretty messed up

[AmaraEmme]

LeRoy’s acting at the very end is devastating
