I still wonder what this moment was like in real life and not in Rebecca's head. Did she just go into a five minute monologue about her past to him?

[@MegaPandaPrincess]

I always imagined it as her just showing up and yelling this stuff angrily at him for 2 straight minutes, then storming out.

[@alliebeemac]

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened 😭the second hand embarrassment I experienced when I first watched this caused my soul to fuckin astral into hell... But now I listen to the song just for fun 💀💀💀 I'm so torn on this scene, bc Josh IS the victim of her behavior so he deserved to know, but at the same time his response of "Wow I guess I did nothing wrong after all 😌" drove me INSANE. Which I know is the point, but despite knowing how toxic Rebecca's behavior was, part of me still wanted her to get a proper angry confrontation about him literally LEAVING HER AT THE ALTAR

I like that she brings up the cat so much when she's trying to pay penance and its one of the only things that was truly an accident

To be fair she wouldn't have run the cat over if she wasn't stalking the girl, plus the whole breaking into her business to delete the evidence, so, I am counting the cat thing, a share of guilt tho, Valencia was there as well.

[@lisadawn751]

I applauded after this scene. All the comments are about the stuff Rebecca was saying in the song, but if you pay attention to Josh's face, you can clearly see his reactions go from guilt to confusion to shock to awkward relief. He emotes really well.

[@AddBowIfGirl]

TheBobBrom Obviously. The song literally highlights how bad a partner and not ready for marriage _she_ was. But the niceness of her line about Josh was that part of her craziness involved not seeing his obvious flaws. So it was nice to hear her finally be aware of how dumb and lacking as a partner (and adult) Josh was.

[@ScottDavid7]

God I cannot being to express how loud i yelled when this first few notes of this song started. It was perfect when Paula sang it and it became infinitely more perfect in its reprise. This is a 2 season pay off and it was fucking WORTH it oh god. It especially comes at a time when you are watching this totally on Rebecca's side after she changed her mind about destroying josh and how emotionally fragile she is and now you hear this and think "oh shit that's right, most of the stuff she does is downright bad". This show constantly toes the line of Rebecca being a hero and villain and the brilliance of this song shows you how close to the edge of all of that she is now. Well done Rachel. You've reminded us once again why this show is on the top of its game.

[@noracozadd6929]

Exactly my thoughts. We root for Rebecca but when you look at it, she isn't all that good. Made harder for me to acknowledge given that I relate with her a lot :)

[@chocychipify]

yep definitely, I like how it brings us back to the premise of the show that she is a crazy ex girlfriend and reminds us she isn't the hero. Though I hate at the end how josh thinks it means he is off the hook. He is almost as bad as her. He has done bad things to and has also enabled Rebecca in some of her bad things. All the things she has done doesn't mean he is completely scot free from the bad he has done.

Take a moment to appreciate that this is this song’s second appearance. And both times it’s from the “in-love” person to the oblivious one. It’s such great writing.

[@vangosito]

It also goes deeper than that. The first time, from Paula's perspective, she's making Rebecca feel bad for all the effort on her part that she didn't know about, while from Rebecca's, she's humiliating herself, admitting to things she absolutely didn't need to do. It's so great how it's exactly the same scenario this time. Almost none of the things she mentions having done were caused by him. The first line is brilliant because what he sees as a normal conversation between friends she sees as leading her on. So goddamn well written.

[@emmastanton112]

[@galaxywalker9863]

@@Kyran1996 Yeah but I think Nathaniel was her best relationship since they helped challenged each other but Greg and her also works except he just seemed to idealized her from his own insecurities. Where with Nathaniel, he didn't really care about her until feeling slightly attracted and then slowly getting to know her. And out of the 3 of her love interest, Nathaniel seem like the only one who was really worried about her when she disappeared to her mom's house after sleeping with greg's dad. But also when Rebecca was dating Nathaniel and she did her usual obsessive habits, Nathaniel still wanted to make it work, unlike Josh and Greg who just keep fleeing and having miscommunications. I mean Rebecca and Nathaniel's relationship was not perfect since Rebecca still loved him but wanted to work on herself first and what she really wants in life and Nathaniel just not completely getting that since he just wanted to be with her. And I think Greg sort of love her but he was unsure of what he wanted with his life either and was never really confronting his feelings for Rebecca before it was too late. Even though he did try to date her and she ended up breaking his heart by sleeping with another guy on the day of their date. So yeah. Rebecca is not exactly good with relationships throughout the show and I like how at the end of the series, she pursues her dream similar to what Greg was trying to do with his life and she doesn't end up with any of them. But even after this, I wish she ends up with Nathaniel in like several years or so since they seemed to really care for each other. Like Greg tried to care but he kept getting hurt by her impulsive decisions and I want him to figure out his life. With Nathaniel, he is kind of a reminder of the people from new york that Rebecca didn't want to be but after several episodes you can see he is that type of person but there is more to him than meets the eye. I don't know but thank you for sharing your opinions and sorry for the long comment.

Not really. She just laid out that after zero interest from Josh she packed up and moved to his home town, stalked him, pushed herself onto him and manipulated him for her own agenda. He's actually the victim here at Rebecca's hand.

[@caitilinploof214]

Did anyone ever calculate how much money Rebecca spent trying to get with Josh? Good gods she is terrible with money.

[@DreamnEnjoy]

The amount is staggering. She said to Paula in the pilot that she refused a promotion that would have made her $545,000/year. I don't know what her salary at Whitefeather is, but it's probably hundreds of Gs lower. And that's for just a year. There's the notorious $10,000 for the wedding, but also, as noted in another comment, the bill from the group hang, and the donation to the youth camp she and Jonah went to. That's respectively $1,000 and $10,000. Then there's the gift for Josh's sister's wedding that was in the tens of thousands. I don't know how much the party bus cost, but couldn't have been cheap. We can assume that she shared costs with Paula on their spy kit but they got some pretty elaborate stuff so a few hundred dollars there too. In one year, she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on him. Over a lifetime ? Millions.

[@mundanejane353]

It's possible she made enough at the new york law firm to sustain that

[@DreamnEnjoy]

@@mundanejane353 In season 1, we learn that she never saved money when she was in New York or invested it. So yes, she was making enough, but her total inability to manage her finances led her to be actually broke by the middle of season 1 (the episode where she starts moving back to NY but gets help from the Dream Ghost). To be fair, she became broke notably after trying to plant ten grands in Darryl' ex's car and effectively losing that money to said ex. But still.

[@juliacastro8505]

She talks about it in one of the seasons when she stars treatment

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

Not just spending money, but also paying off Darryl’s ex wife for making it look like she was trying to smuggle things out of the country 😂😂😂 Why did she do that? She wanted to prove to Greg she was a good person so that Greg would hype her up to Josh (surface) but also because it conflicts with her view of herself to have him say she’s selfish (deeper)

[@yfm.mp4]

when that drum fade in I was like "HOLYSHIT YAZZZZZ" and thought shit is about to go down for Josh. But then when I finally heard the lyrics I was like "Ooh rebecca what have you done?" AND THAT IS THE TESTAMENT OF HOW GOOD THIS SHOW IS. It creates it own language that sparks reaction to its audience and weaponize it to create a twist that not only makes your jaw drop, but also bloom a more complex feelings and deep character development of its characters. I SWEAR THIS SHOW IS GETTING BETTER BY THE SEASON & I HOPE CW STILL BELIEVES THIS SHOW AND RENEWED IT FOR ANOTHER SEASON.

The healthiest thing she did, was to be confronted on her toxic behavior and seek actual therapy. Funny how this show highlights how awful someone's toxic behavior can be, yet people will crawl out of the woodwork to warp Rebecca as somehow a brave hero when she is really an awful person, which the show doesn't at all shy away from demonstrating over and over.

Rudy E. Yeah, but the therapy came after this. And as for this action being healthy, she’s being honest about what she did to Josh, which is a step forward.

Paula's version reminded me of Kathy Bates in misery and no one can say I'm wrong

[@daisyterry4408]

Rebecca's isn't supposed to be better. Paula's was longer and had to convey the original idea. She was singing because she felt betrayed by Rebecca's lack of gratitude towards her (not totally justified, but she had a lot going on). Rebecca is singing because she feels like she needs everyone to know all the stuff she's done, and she wants Josh to feel bad, whether that's guilty or scared. She's also heavily influenced by Paula, since she's so close to her. Her mental health issues clearly take it to another level and give it a new meaning.

[@juliamiller5120]

Paula is definitely better in vocal ability. She’s got some mad pipes bro. But Rebecca’s was definitely better with the dramatic flare.

What I love so much about this show is seeing Rebecca's perspective and how hurt she and how she has deep issues that have nothing to do with josh because they were there before josh, I love how much her depression shows throughout an episode and yet seeing her hurt and pain and self destructive unlikable behavior still makes me feel empathy to her, yet we often see this scene through someone like joshes eyes are see her as a scary monster even though Rebecca is just deeply and yet josh calls her crazy and blast it all over the internet in the promo for next week's episode. Its set up the crazy ex girlfriend theme so well. This reprise was fantastic.

[@kartewnboi]

listen when she started telling him all the crazy shit she's done since the first season my fight or flight response kicked in

[@andrewcharalambous5311]

Rachel Bloom is an absolute star. Her voice can be so amazing, and her acting is top notch. This is my favourite song in Crazy Ex Girlfriend because Rebecca finally told Josh the truth, and really ripped into him. After leaving her at the altar, he deserves much more than to just get yelled at

[@N3m0_o...]

when Paula sang this song, she goes: "After everything I've for you, that You didn't ask for" wich means that even when she is wrong with all that she did, she asume responsability for her actions...but Rebecca sang: " After everthing You made me do, that You didn't ask for"... still justifiying her motives and blame them onto Josh...he is no saint, but her lirycs shows how unwell she still is at this point 👀

It’s so important to me that Rebecca says that she “had” to do these things. I know that’s the whole point. But like, seriously.

[@jessicavillar8106]

Favorite moment: "i 'm the one who should be up there on that cross", Josh face say he want to fight that profanity but also he knows he dont have the moral superiority at that moment XD

Damn Rachel really demonstrated her range tonight! Between this song and Strip Away My Conscience, I am truly overwhelmed by her talent. She’s always been my role model but after tonight’s new episode I’m feeling particularly inspired by her. She’s everything.

[@samreale5095]

I'm just consistently impressed by her (and/or the writers') ability to weave variant versions of CEG songs into relevant moments. This draws a connection between Paula, the original singer of this song, back when the Josh/Rebecca situation was still an unhealthy obsession in her life. She realized that eventually and adjusted her life accordingly, but this song being modified for Rebecca and sung by her further demonstrates the dysfunction of her relationship with Josh and the unhealthy role it's played in her life.

[@muiton4472]

@Jordan Brendmoen yeah, crazy women cheering on another crazy bitch. Who would have guessed?

[@porcupinesauce3872]

she has time and time again used his "dumbness" which really it's just his naviety and trusting character. to lie and manipulate him non stop. honestly Josh is a sweet caring guy and just doesn't focus on being a "pyscho intellectual " yes rebecca has her very good caring traits but u can never trust her except in those moments where she admitted her lies and came clean but seldom ever did that with Josh especially in season 1 and 2 which made me not like her for that. she's always lying and shcheming and sometimes doing some really horrible things and sometimes doesn't make up for it but most the time she does which must be exhausting to keep on fixing dumb mistakes for being an "intellectual" lol. Josh just wanted to have a good happy relatively simple life especially in season 1. I mean in the first season he was literally just a perfect good guy. he doesn't focus on being smart he focuses on just doing his best to be nice and good. and in season 2 over getting a job. I don't know why throughout the seasons we are always made to think Josh is the most subpar guy out of the rest. it's like everyone is bullying and using him just cos he is dumb? I don't know why Josh would actually want Rebecca back again in season 4. I honestly find Josh the most non problematic character out of all of them. I mean after u find out ur girlfriend was lying to u all this time, was admitted to a mental institute, and now all this added drama of her lies and schemes and even cheating on him so close to their wedding. I would never want to be with a girl like that. don't get me wrong I love Rebecca, but she reminds me all too familiar with a. friend I had that was "good" like going to charities and stuff yet acted like she could gaslight and lie and twist my mind and she was never genuine and I hated that. I felt like a Josh, but a much less popular, introverted girl version that could only imagine of doing the things he did. in a way in season 1 Josh was the peak the "most golden character " of the show. they have somehow made velancia that practically controlled him all those years to be the main side character and like a level above Josh? which to me is problematic .how also Greg never told his best friend he was back ? I should make a video how Josh is actually the most underrated and not deserving of the hate he gets compared to the other nut jobs lol. I'm surprised they can all forgive each other like that but I guess that's what makes the show great, understanding and forgiveness and fixing problems , but I really didn't like how Rebecca ended if with all 3 guys just falling head over heels for her just seems narcasistic and unrealistic I mean their all very likeable ppl in their own way.

[@elliot1165]

Upon reflection this number is made even better knowing that actually during this she was probably spiraling and jyst screaming all this stuff at Josh Chan.

[@milktoasted]

This is what i love - the characters are SO multi-dimensional that there is never clearly one person to put the blame on, or one villain, and how there is so much room for debate and examining the psychology behind the motives that led to their actions. Nothing in the show is black and white. And people think Crazy Ex-GF is just a "musical theatre show..." gah, so simple-minded! It's subtle and nuanced, a perfect mix of light-hearted comedy with dark undertones of human emotion. At the end of the day, i think it's about mental illness and the unhealthy ways that we express (and will continue to express) our unaddressed issues.

[@cheesecakeslice222]

I love that Rebecca is just mad at herself, while Josh was just some random inmature guy she got obsessed with. Josh is not doing things right, but Rebecca is the perfect example for a self-destructive person.

[@TCGTales]

My BPD-ex was raging, manipulative, pathological liar, impulsive, verbally. emotionally, physically and psychologically abusive. As comorbidity tends to occur with these disorders it made things even harder. I was an emotional train-wreck for a while, to a certain extent still to this day. We dated for 4 years however it wasn't until our third year together when she was diagnosed. Unfortunately, she refused to seek therapy. I understand my codependency so currently healing and on therapy, We lived in different countries for a majority of our relationship so I was blinded with all the red flags. BPD is a very serious and painful mental health illness.

[@fiorefiore9910]

I just realize that for the whole series Josh hasn't done anything but avoid responsability. He could have easily stopped her from doing all those crazy things, he just needed to say the word "No". Instead he decided to ignore the signals, lead her on and watch as Greg and Rebecca ruined their relationship. Now he focuses on what she has done and once again he doesn't take his part of responsability. I like Josh but I hope that the writers make him grow up a little before the end of the season

[@FrenkTheJoy]

Yeah because Rebecca's totally blameless by continuing to pursue a guy who has a long-time girlfriend.

[@Faboostic]

No one is saying Rebecca is blameless. But honestly if Josh hadn't led her on things wouldn't have gone so far, he has a huge responsability for how Rebecca is right now. When Rebecca was finally about to see that she needed to give up on Josh and the idea of love to make her happy, he asked her to marry him. She had grow so much and he made her go all the way back. He doesn't stop to think how he affects people and doesn't even take responsability for what he does.

[@fiorefiore9910]

Banjo Peppers I'm not saying that she's not to blame. She made A LOT of mistakes but one way or another she had to confront the people she has hurt. Josh tends to avoid taking responsibility and confronting the people that he hurt. I'm not hating Josh, I actually like this character but he's really childish and he needs to grow up

[@bjshipley1]

To be fair, Rebecca is avoiding responsibility just as much, by claiming Josh *made* her do all this stuff. Despite what she says, her bad decisions are not his fault, no more than his leaving her at the altar is hers.

[@judithw7600]

Fiorenza Agazzi Not to forget how he treated Valencia back in season 1... he clearly knew that she wanted a more serious relationship, that she wanted to get married and all that, but instead of telling her that he isn't ready for this, he always avoided the topic and lead her on until she finally saw through his bullshit and broke up

I'm forever bitter because Trent didn't get a reprise, (or, well, a third iteration of this song), at the end of the third season. It would've been so fitting! Just imagine... After everything I've done for you, (that you indeed asked for).

[@purrcyderolo]

I've finally gotten around to watching this show after having it on my list for years & I think it does a really good job of showing how everyone makes mistakes and is capable of being an asshole, while demonstrating that mental illness makes that behavior absolutely unbearable. Rebecca is 100% responsible for all the shitty stuff she did, but the actions of everyone around her absolutely exacerbated her behavior. She's been on a downward spiral since episode 1 (and potentially even before that) that just kept getting worse with every minor setback or rejection. Paula completely enables her behavior throughout season 1. By season 2, she's learned her lesson, but Rebecca is still doing the exact same crap Paula used to help her with. Greg's alcoholism and commitment/communication issues caused him to reject Rebecca at a time when he was arguably the most stable she'd been the entirety of season 1, which caused her to try and fill the gap with her unrealistic fantasy relationship. Greg is by no means responsible for that, and whether Rebecca would have improved had Greg been honest and communicative is something we'll never know, but his actions undeniably harmed Rebecca and her mental state. Josh actually acts as a really interesting foil for Rebecca, imo. Their issues are actually strikingly similar, they both define themselves almost entirely by their relationships. Whenever their current relationship fails to meet their unrealistic expectations, Josh responds by shutting down and running away, whereas Rebecca responds by trying to hold onto that person in whatever way she can. When put together, these two people get trapped in a relentless feedback loop of rejection followed by intense commitment. I think the differences in how Valencia and Rebecca handle their relationships really highlights how mental illness affects Rebecca's behavior. Like Rebecca, Valencia went through an absolutely devastating breakup with Josh. He led her on for over ten years, cheated on her, and she finally had to break it off because Josh refused to do it himself. And her reaction was, I think, fairly normal. She went through a period of depression, reevaluating her life and goals, then eventually recovered and chose to make some changes. Rebecca, on the other hand, completely spiraled when Josh rejected her. She exhibited erratic, self-destructive behavior, that culminated in her alienating literally everyone in her life. And the real kicker is even after all of the horrible things she did to "punish" Josh for leaving her, her end goal was STILL for him to pay attention to her. Even after he rejected her, caused her to spiral into such intense hatred and self-loathing, she was still addicted to his affection. That's not something a healthy person does. I'm not sure if anyone could have done anything to "save" Rebecca from her downward spiral. A big theme of the show is that you can't help someone who either doesn't want to be or doesn't realize they need help, and Rebecca doesn't get there until after her lowest point. But it's so amazing to see a show so clearly exemplify mental illness. Everyone has their issues, everyone makes mistakes, but mental illness makes all those mistakes so much bigger. Rebecca has a wealth of legitimate reasons to be upset and angry, it's the way she acts on those feelings that's the problem.

[@deborah8137]

I feel like people are blinded by season 2 to realise that in season 1, really actually josh was a very good guy, like people are always stating all the bad stuff he did but what about all the good stuff? like how he went to Rebecca;s party and not only was he not dissapointed of no one being there but he actually embraced it and even went out of his way to ask more people to come cos that's what she wanted. Or all the times he was manipulated by Valencia to do everything she wanted to do, it was an abusive relationship ON BOTH ENDS, I mean how can people say that he was the one ruining the relationship when obviously he was just trying to be supportive of his girlfriend but she always turns down everything he wants, and makes him do whatever she wants. I mean sure maybe he stayed for the sex and since he didn't fight back, he made Valencia feel like she can treat him like a doormat but I feel that was the main reason why in the next season, he wanted a non committed relationship as he didn't want to end up in the same relationship like Valencia, where she called the shots. I mean really at the end of the day Rebecca still is manipulating him into doing whatever she wants, and not showing her true self with him, having a wedding in 2 weeks with his ex girlfriend doing the wedding planning , and randomly calling out robert, how can you marry someone that you don't even know?

[@xgise]
