Good solid character episode but not a laugh out loud funny episode.

My take on Paula in this episode: Paula was trying to use a rational solution to an emotional problem. There is no number of sign ins and tests that could fix insecurity that is coming from inside herself. But feeling like a badass problem solving protolawyer sure helps. So when she reclaimed her own badassery by taking on a revenge suit with Rebecca in conjunction with her husband taking the logical rational steps to regain trust, that's when she could feel secure again.

So I see Paula having a harder time letting go of the suit than Rebecca, who is not nearly as invested in it. Similar to season 1!

Here's a link to a good article https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/11/crazy-ex-girlfriend-borderline-personality-disorder-rachel-bloom-aline-brosh-mckenna-interview

It's about how they came to the diagnosis from a writing perspective.

I didn't like the two songs. They weren't funny enough to justify how lame and corny they sounded.

I laughed at this episode more than I have in a long time, maybe since Greg left. I loved that they wrote some hilarious snarky poo poo for Valencia to say to Hector to balance out the rest of the heavy stuff.

Not really digging the continued falling in love of Nathanial with Rebecca. He's her boss and his feelings for her don't feel earned for me.
