When she asks why he didnt say goodbye, he says, I couldnt say goodbye.
If I did I would never leave.
And every Greg/Rebecca shippers heart breaks.

Then he promptly leaves.
Paula tells her that she and Greg were bad for each other and to just forget both men.
I dont know who I am without them, Rebecca says.
Meanwhile, Paula doesnt know what to do about being pregnant.
Those options are for teenagers the month after Winter Formal.
That left a bad taste in my mouth.
There are no age limits on womens rights.
and sing about how she cant forget them because theyve both had sex with her all over her house.
She tries to burn their stuff in the sink and ends up setting fire to her apartment.
Rebeccas embarrassing 911 phone call is captured on film by a neighbor and it goes viral.
So she formulates a plan to reinvent herself.
She gets a makeover consisting of long blonde hair and revealing clothes, and it looks terrible.
She runs into Josh, and hes puzzled and put off by it.
Heather wins, and the two decide to live together.
Rebecca finds the closure she didnt get by breaking up with Greg from breaking up with ghost Greg.
She gets an abortion, a decision that her husband and kids support, but she doesnt tell Rebecca.
She never even informed Rebecca that she was pregnant.
Someones not taking her breakup with Josh well.
NEXT: Now for the songs…
It Was a S Show has a modern musical theater,A Chorus Line-key in sound.
It starts out innocently enough, but the first verse gradually sets up the explicit chorus.
At first, Greg talks about how much Rebecca meant to him.
Then he admits that their relationship had its problems.
He makes some good points, such as Theres hard to get/Then theres neglect.
The most brutal lyric?
A play about pieces of feces/Is what we are together.
This song is harsh, and it is supposed to be.
Still, it broke my Team Greg heart to hear him trash their relationship so severely.
The song doesnt resolve, literally, because Greg doesnt finish it.
But it also signifies that neither Greg nor Rebecca get closure from this interaction.
After the last word, he leans in and almost kisses Rebecca, then pulls away and walks off.
I almost cried when he breaks out the high belting on life-changing, giving it special emphasis.
What would the last word have been?
Santino Fontana sung this goodbye song beautifully.
Every note was beautiful and heartfelt.
Clearly, it hit Rebecca hard.
The next shot is of her looking positively miserable on her couch.
Paula urges her to forget both of them, which sets up the next song.
And they launch into a jaunty tap number listing all the places they did the deed with her.
It recalls the classic musical theater, like Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, both in music and choreography.
Greg and Josh are channeling cheerful Broadway hoofer duos like Gene Kelly and Donald OConnor inSingin in the Rain.
Moses comes to mind they dance on a table in that one, too.
Greg and Josh wear manically energetic show faces and have a pep in their step.
Theyre very pleased with themselves as they sing about how much they got laid.
Especially when a giant butt set piece magically appears.
Apparently it gets to her enough to make her burn their stuff, which she does immediately after.
NEXT: Season 1 flashback
Makey Makeover
Another song snippet!
Thats the third time this season.
Why are you taunting us,Crazy Ex-Girlfriend?
This song satirizes the makeover montage in every romantic comedy, but in song!
And so, Rebecca transforms into a squeaky baby-voiced, pig-tail-sporting cheerleader to narrate the montage.
The baby voice here is even worse than the one in The Math of Love Triangles.
Theres nothing much to this song, which is perhaps why its only a snippet.
The lyrics are mostly just baby babble (makey makeover is just the tip of the iceberg).
Season 2 Song Ranking (So Far):
The two full songs in this episode were amazing.
Theyre both ones I want to rewatch forever.
It Was a S Show makes me want to bawl.
It was so emotional and cathartic.
And We Tapped That A makes me double over laughing.
I still hold a place in my heart for Maybe This Dream.
Snippets arent eligible for the ranking, so here it is:
1.
Maybe This Dream
2.
It Was a S Show
3.
We Tapped That A
