Biography
S4E8 - It's a chaotic morning at the Myerson office. Dinah, Susie and Maggie juggle phones as they field calls about Alfie, who is sitting on the couch next to James, annoying him. Midge struggles to get through the phone gauntlet to ask Susie for help ducking out of the Wolford so she can deal with Moishe's heart attack, ultimately having to impersonate Florenz Ziegfeld to get through. Susie remembers mid-way through coming to the phone that Ziegfeld is supposed to be dead, which Nicky confirms, having been there when it happened.
S4E8 - At the Myerson office, Dinah tries to get Dave to install a second phone line, Maggie fields yet more calls, and Frank cooks as Nicky does the books. Maggie gets the call about the Bennett gig, but Midge makes Susie turn it down.
S5E3 - As Susie takes a call from Tess, Dinah works on a red pillowcase with a sewing machine, Frank takes a call in Susie's office, Maggie fields calls from her own office, and Nicky sits in the waiting room presenting alternative cushion covers to Dinah's. When Susie hangs up the phone, Nicky consults her about the cushions, but Susie directs him to Dinah. A moment later, Susie takes a pile of mail from the mailman and Dinah answers a call from Midge, which she passes off to Susie. Midge shares her triumph with Susie, as Trudy and Dorie stand behind her, taking a smoke break. Suddenly, Rose walks into Susie's office, leading her to hang up on Midge. Susie welcomes her, and glosses over Frank shouting obscenities into the phone behind her by inviting Rose over to the waiting area. Rose tells Susie that she's trying to get a gun, to retaliate against the Matchmaker Mafia. Susie responds with extended disbelief, shutting down Nicky's attempts to interject advice, only wavering when she learns from Rose that they burned down the Tearoom. Frank finally slams the phone, and emerges to explain that his anger was due to some uncooperative theatre employees who would not give him and his wife tickets to Camelot. Susie encourages Rose not to do anything rash, and offers to let her use Maggie's place as a temporary office. Rose agrees graciously, and compliments Dinah on the pillowcases on her way out, prompting Dinah to tell Nicky that she told him so. Susie and Dinah then argue over whether to involve Nicky and Frank in Rose's problems. Behind them, Maggie calls out in distress and confusion as Rose begins to rearrange her furniture. Nicky and Frank's interest is piqued, but Susie insistently turns them away, and they return to discussing Camelot.
S5E5 - As Susie handles Alfie, Midge and James, Maggie and Dinah make a series of calls to get Helen Dyer on the line for an update on James’ prospects at landing the movie gig he wants. Eventually, Maggie gets a hold of Helen and Susie runs over to take the phone. Susie soon learns, however, that Helen is not the one with real power, so she tasks Maggie and Dinah with finding David Weston, who can actually make the decision.
S5E5 - The following evening, Susie checks in with Maggie and Dinah, but they still haven’t found him. Playing a hunch, she goes out.
S5E5 - Susie gets back and recounts to Maggie and Dinah how she found David Weston in a gay bathhouse and what she told him. Maggie is obsessed with hearing about the bathhouse, so Dinah and Susie send her away.
S5E5 - The following morning, as Susie, Dinah and James wait by the phone with bated breath, Maggie gets a call which isn’t from David Weston, and Susie tells her to hang up.
S5E9 - As Maggie, Dinah and Susie struggle with a message stuck in the bucket, Midge swans in and excitedly informs them that she's going to be on Gordon Ford tonight. Susie tasks Maggie with retrieving the message and Dinah with calling everyone they know to watch the show tonight to catch Midge’s set.
