Plot Summary[]
The Rockford Peaches go to the movies. They hear some news about next year - because the war is still going on, the female teams will play in major league stadiums. However, some of the Peaches will be traded to the Blue Sox or the Comets because the executives want to make sure the top two teams have the best players. The Peaches realize they have to finish in the top two if they want to stick together. To do that, they have to win the rest of the games in the season - 18 in all.
Max and Clance finish work at the factory. They worked overtime but instead of getting more pay they just got a thank you note.
Max starts to get to know Bertie better. They go bowling and Bertie explains that his pronouns are he/him. Later on, Bertie goes to meet Clance- but this embarrasses Max. She tells Bertie she’s not “like him” and Bertie gets hurt by her words.
The Rockford Peaches win their next game. Lupe is seen talking to the other team and the Peaches think she might want to get traded. Lupe asks Beverly if she can switch teams. Carson sees Lupe leave and she follows her. She goes to an LGBTQ speakeasy and chats with the pitcher on the other team. Carson realizes Lupe is flirting with her instead of trying to get traded.
Jess walks up and talks to Carson. She then tells Lupe that Carson is also gay. Jess guesses that 35% of the girls in the league are gay. At the bar, Carson and Greta dance. Jo meets a new woman to dance with.
Suddenly, the police bust the speakeasy bar. Everyone runs but not everyone gets away. Greta and Carson run into a nearby movie theater to hide.
Max puts on the gift from Bertie, which is a custom suit. She puts it on and heads over to a gathering her aunt is hosting. She starts to understand Bertie. There, Max meets a woman and kisses her.
