Hasn't been a whole lot going on with Josh these last few episodes now that Nathaniel has more or less taken over his role.

Also, "bee emoticon" has become my favourite running joke.

Yeah I’ve been seeing some of that defence, like “she’s always been terrible!!” but definitely not in this same way, there’s no way to make this sympathetic or whatever like it did with all her obsessive breakdown stuff, this is carrying on an affair for eight months while being told constantly to stop. There isn’t a way you can do this and not be an awful piece of poo poo.

You're used to how she used to be unhealthy. This is just a new way she's unhealthy, exchanging obsession for safety.

Yes. You're arguing that this is somehow worse than all the other terrible stuff she's been doing the whole time. It isn't. It's not even close to the worst she's done.

She's been stalking, lying, manipulating, and framing people the whole time. She ran over Josh's girlfriend's cat! Sleeping with someone she didn't know's boyfriend is pretty much the middle of the pack as far as horrible things she's done.

The entire first season of this show (spanning about a year in real-time?) was premised on her ruining this guy's relationship because she was obsessed with him. At least in this case the dude is an accomplice instead of a dupe. Baby steps.

And when you're living with a personality disorder, it's never going to be "perfect" and well adjusted.

Rebecca knowing her limits and being aware of her tendencies and being able to keep even a sex-only relationship going for 8 months without getting obsessive really is doing a lot better for her.

That doesn't make what she's doing good, but on a scale of poo poo that she's done, it is massively better and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging improvement.

Thank god for this. I like how everyone in this episode has been shown evolving in one way or another, except for Josh.

also Valencia finding a meaningful relationship is just the best goddamn thing omg

Thats whats up!
I kinda wish Valencia did stuff this season, it just feels like she's just there. Even Hector has had more of an arc this season. I mean they kind of give her something in this episode, but they literally skip over all the interesting bits during the timeskip so she's just dating a woman we met five minutes earlier and know nothing about.

Not only that, Nathaniel's whole thing is he's a terrible human being.

First vagina I saw.

Edit: Actually no. He uses Rebeccas songs after all.
Though he could pull of an interesting version of "after everything I've done for you."

Alternatively he sings "A diagnosis" with the result that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, since he is a healthy, rational person.

He seems to be out of Rebecca's life and in this episode was mostly used for Valencia's development. So.... probably? It'd be a shame to see Vince go, though. Great dance moves and singing.

They've said they only plan one more season, so they just need to give him some closure next season. Josh's final storyline is probably going to be him finding something he's good at, succeeding, and his parents finally being proud of him.

Speaking of which, we still haven't heard confirmation that it's been renewed for a fourth season. :ohdear:

In that livestream I think she was asked about it and said that she has no doubt the show will be renewed, but I'm nervous.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is the lowest rated show on network TV but it will probably still get renewed because it's a critical darling and not particularly expensive. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is responsible for seven of the 18 Emmy nominations the CW has ever gotten, including two wins. It gets long think pieces written about it.
