Midge finds a different kind of audience to perform for, much to Susie's chagrin. Abe gets offered the experience of a lifetime. The Weissmans come together for a family dinner. Susie finally shows off her management skills.
Quantum leap? Just dropped like that at this time? Would that be true?

I'm glad they had Susie describe her perspective on what Midge is doing at these parties, because to me it was cringe-inducing to see her at a party doing extended monologues, despite the fact that the material was good. I just imagine everyone leaving the party thinking "who was that charming narcissist?" But I guess in an Amy Sherman-Palladino show, it's best not to take things too literally and accept we're seeing a stylized version of reality.
