Josh wants Rebecca back, and they loop back and try.
Its just whatCrazy Ex-Girlfriendneeded.
When Paula fills her in on Scotts cheating, Rebecca sees how selfish shes been.
She shows up at Paulas house to deliver arealapology and to help her out by babysitting Tommy.
While out with Tommy, they run into Josh.
Rebecca tells him she wants to be friends.
Rebecca sees the Instagram (yup, shes still cyber-stalking him).
But not a cool fashion show.
A West Covina fashion show, featuring models who were scouted from local businesses.
White Josh and Hector are embarrassed, but Anna is so disgusted that she breaks up with him.
Its always Rebecca, isnt it?
Wherever I turn, everything points back to her, he says.
In a rom-com moment, he runs to Paulas house to find her.
She tells him this isnt a good time, and she puts Paula and their friendship first.
He leaves, but not before declaring, Im not giving up on you.
When Paula tries to tell her that being a mom is harder than it looks, she balks.
She thinks shell be great at it.
The tune itself is a take on Bruno MarsUptown Funk.
Rebeccas outfit including a boxy pink 80s blazer is a nod to Bruno Mars getup in the music video.
Vocally, Bloom pulls off funk really well.
Ditto for the dance style.
Her whole body effortlessly channels this persona.
Its an anthem about being a fantastic mom, but of course, Rebecca isnt.
This is the throw in ofCrazy Ex-Girlfriendsong that you want to learn all the lyrics to and sing along.
Duh!This song is the musical expression of Joshs epiphany that Rebecca is the one.
Its not an aesthetically pleasing song to listen to, but it serves the story.
I mean… it has a bunch of duhs and similar exclamations in the place of actual lyrics.
This one is ripped from Top 40 pop radio.
And props to the writers, it sounds exactly like Top 40 pop.
Justin Bieber and DJ Snakes Let Me Love You comes to mind.
I chuckled at Looking back on all those times/Like that one time, and that other time.
Episode grade: A-
NEXT: When Do I Get To Spend Time With Josh?
Im scared, she explains.
I dont know if I can trust him.
But, she does still love him.
When she finally talks to Josh, he says Well do things the right way.
Hes moved on from the Duh!
stage, instead acknowledging that their relationship didnt work before and telling her itll be different this time.
They get back together and theres a West Covina sequence.
Theyre starting over as a couple the same way she started over when she moved here.
And then Josh tells her he loves her and she happily says it back.
Hes also very attractive.
And try as she might, Rebecca cant stop thinking about him.
New love interest alert!
Hes makes fun of Josh, calling him a human flip-flop.
Bad news on the work front: Nathaniel is making budget cuts, and people will be fired.
George gets the axe, and if youre thinking who?, youre not alone.
No one in the office even knows who he is.
He was an underdeveloped character, and now hes gone.
Poor George doesnt even get the exit he wants.
He sings a song demanding to be taken seriously, but gets cut off.
Meanwhile, Rebecca and Josh go to dinner with his parents.
(This second go at a relationship is moving fast.)
However, she screws it up when she sees Nathaniel at the restaurant.
Its no stunner musically, but the charm factor is in the sneakin around choreography.
But most importantly: Its a meta-theatrical song.
The new guy they refer to is their new boss Nathaniel, but also the new character onCrazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Georges TurnAgain with the snippets!
Especially because George has a great voice.
He sings this immediately after getting fired.
Theres a scary element to it.
This is Georges moment to stand up for himself and tell everyone hes sick of how they treat him.
He belts, George wont be ignored, George wont be interrupted, becau.
Its such a standout number:Crazy Ex-Girlfriendand Rachel Bloom are in top form.
It Was a S Show3.
