The latest episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maiselhas introduced a new character and storyline that might tell audiences more about the unhappy future that awaits Midge and Susie at the end of season 5. In its fifth and final season, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel follows housewife-turned-comedian Midge Maisel and her eccentric friends and family. The series includes many interesting dynamics but the most important of them all is the friendship between Midge and her manager Susie.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 stands out from past seasons of the Amazon Prime series because of its focus on the future- and now the past.
In episode 4, Susie is confronted by Hedy, an old college friend with who she suffered an intense friendship break-up. Though their argument isn't entirely clear, it seems that Susie and Hedy were incredibly close, like Midge and Susie, yet Hedy didn't fulfill her promises which ultimately led to their estrangement and Susie's hurt feelings. This dive into Susie's past will certainly give audiences a peek into her youth, but may also offer a clue into how Susie and Midge's friendship could end.
Susie and Hedy's broken friendship gives a hint as to Susie and Midge's future by showing what specific issues can make Susie turn on a person completely. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 has made it clear that Susie wants nothing to do with Hedy, going out of her way to avoid her until she absolutely couldn't any longer.
Plus, when Susie finally does confront Hedy, the conversation is full of hurt, even though Hedy tries to put the past behind them. The way Susie and Hedy's reunion plays out shows how Susie can hold a long-time grudge and how she acts when she's been hurt by a friend.
Although the details of Susie and Hedy's estrangement aren't entirely clear yet, season 5 will likely explore this storyline more, thereby offering an example of how Susie and Midge's relationship could break up. So far, it seems that the main issue between Hedy and Susie was the breaking of promises and loyalty to one another.
When Midge and Susie rise to fame, it is likely that this same scenario could occur to them as their respective success separates them. Additionally, the memory of Hedy's betrayal could make Susie question her relationship to Midge causing a different but equally bad problem for them.
It is likely that Susie's backstory wasn't revealed until The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel season 5 because it is directly linked to her friendship with Midge. The two friendships seem similar due to their intensity, and it makes sense that Hedy's return will revive old feelings of hurt that could affect Midge and Susie's relationship. All in all, this storyline will most likely lead to big consequences and problems that are appropriate for the final season of the series. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 is forcing Susie and Midge to face their biggest issue yet.
The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel's latest character introduction could mean trouble for Midge and Susie's already doomed relationship. Hedy presents complications of the past, present, and future, but most of all could act as an example of how Midge and Susie could ultimately fail as friends. Despite the classic colors and fun of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, season 5 could be heading down a very ominous path.
