It didnt end well.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Im among the legion ofBroad Cityfans who are weirdly invested in the Trey/Abbi relationship.
But obviously, that was to protect her best friend, and Abbi never meant to hurt Trey.

Abbis a good person.
She felt pretty bad about that.
How did you and the writers conceive of the relationship?
Comedy Central
But the evolution of the character and of the arc was surprising to all of us.
This was actually long before it was actually part of the show.
She is somebody who writes love song lyrics all the time.
Comedy Central
It just seemed to make perfect sense that thats how she would factor in and make it all better.
It was a perfect payoff to that four-season-long lie.I know!
More broadly, its reflective of the number of great guest stars thatBroad Cityjuggles now.
Comedy Central
In this episode, you have RuPaul, you have Sandra Bernhard in a cameoWanda Sykes, too.
This one was packed.
Packed with incredible people.
And yet because he has such a specific voice, we were able to write to that.
It was such a pleasure and so exciting to think about him doing it.
This was another thing where we wrote for him not knowing whether or not he would actually say yes.
Another stroke of luck that we were able to do it, and he agreed.
It was pretty cool.
The episode gets back into the shows rhythms after the ambitious premiere, which includes a little Trump-as-president premonition.
And when the election happened, we were like, Okay, its a different world.
We wrote season 4 in an Obama era, and its a very different world.
So we did do pretty extensive rewrites of the season post-election.
One of the things that youve probably noticed is that Trumps name is bleeped this year.
Its used as an expletive.
We want to ensure that were using the show and the platform we have in a positive way.
And then when you put Abbi and Ilana in there, youre able to do a lot.
The Trey-Abbi stuff in this episode ends on a somewhat painful, sad note.
Abbi and Trey reconnect in more ways than one, and in more places than one.
So Trey is alive in theBroad Cityworld.
And what it means for their relationship nobody knows, truly.
But what I can say is itsBroad City, so really anythings possible.
