Mrs. Maisel Season 4: How Many Times Midge Has Been Arrested (& Why)
Warning: SPOILERS for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4, Episode 2 — «Billy Jones and the Orgy Lamps»
Miriam «Midge» Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) gets arrested again in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 continuing one of the Amazon Prime comedy series' running jokes. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 picks up immediately after season 3's cliffhanger: Midge and her manager, Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein), were fired from Shy Baldwin's (Leroy McClain) tour. Forced to pick up the pieces after this disaster, Mrs. Maisel has to decide what she wants out of her career as a New York City stand-up comic. Unfortunately, Midge's temper and impetuousness get the better of her again so that she winds up back in the slammer.

Even when she doesn't end up in handcuffs, Midge's stream-of-consciousness style of standup has gotten her blacklisted by Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch), caused Bell Labs to investigate and fire her father, Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub), and she inadvertently outed Shy Baldwin in front of his hometown crowd at the Apollo Theater, which is what got her fired by Shy's manager, Reggie (Sterling K. Brown). Mrs. Maisel's habit of saying whatever she wants on stage especially gets her in trouble because she's a woman in 1960, which is one of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's themes.
