Club. In the penultimate episode of its sophomore season, Crazy Ex Girlfriend pushes Rebecca so close to the edge that for a minute there, its tough to see how theyd make it to a season finale. The chaos comes courtesy of the DIY wedding Rebecca attempts to plan, largely unassisted, in under two weeks. Along the way, it wanders a bit, showing us Rebeccas mounting anxiety without ever really putting us in her shoesbut the ending turns things around completely. Whats surprising isnt the scale of her meltdown, its the means by which she escapes it through the help of three people who know a bit about anxiety, particularly when other peoples opinions are concerned. All hail Valencia, maker of plans and Gabrielle Ruiz, whose diminished appearances over the last few episodes were understandable but whose return is most welcome. Her one brief scene in Will Scarsdale Like Joshs Shayna Punim was an episode highlight, but here she gets what seems like a subplot all her own. Seems is the important word there, as episode writer Katie Schwartz has a particularly clever trick up her sleeve, as Valencia first attempts to give Rebecca a ready made weddingthe wedding of Valencias dreamsbefore refusing to hand it over for fear Rebecca would ruin it a fair bet.

Just like that, Valencias planning Rebecca and Joshs wedding and, one thinks, discovering her true calling. Its the kind of smart surprise that works because it makes so much sense. When Rebecca runs into the one friend she hasnt asked for help, its no stretch to predict its that friend wholl save the day, but the fact that Valencia chooses to do this for herself is the real kicker.

Baby food jars are the new mason jars, didnt you know Valencias not the only person to step up for Rebecca, however. All hail Nathaniel, pooper of pants. Its not the freshest of storylines, if youll pardon the use of the word fresh in conjunction with this particular subplot, but as with Valencias story, it pays off in ways one might not expect. Nathaniels relationship with his father was established as complex at best in his first appearance, and thats become ever more clear with each passing installment. Here we finally meet the man, who is exactly as promised, catching Nathaniel in the weakest and most ty ty of all positions napping. If theres a parallel between his story and Rebeccas, its in the willingness to wear themselves out and do themselves harm while trying to prove theyre what someone else tells them they should be. For Rebecca, its normal. For Nathaniel, its to exist without human weakness. So its human weakness that drives his story, as well as his final act of generosity to Rebeccacompassion being another human weakness. Is ensuring her deeply neglectful father attends her wedding actually a kindnessWell likely find that out next week. For now, however, Nathaniel seems to absorb some of the compassion shown to him by his employeesparticularly Maya, more than ready to take the pants pooping fall for her bossand send it out in a new direction. Like recognizes like, one supposes, and instead of being just some weird woman he had a sex dream about, Rebecca has become a whole person to him, and one he chooses to help. Rebeccas last defender is the one most likely to come to her aid, even if it involves crossing a line or two. All hail Paula, caller of mothers, and praise her line crossing ways. Paula gets some assistance in this from Patrick Seth Green at perhaps his most subdued in his entire career, a delivery man subject to a series of increasingly desperate conversations with Ms. Theres something oddly touching about the sight of Patrick covering the sleeping Rebecca up with one of her countless wedding dresses, and something even more lovely about the revelation that he called Paula to tell her exactly how low her friend had fallen. How does he know to call Paula Something about that torch song spurs him to action, and thank the lord, because no monologue into a phone has been quite so satisfying as the one Paula unleashes on Naomi Bunch. Donna Lynne Champlin does the fiercely protective thing about as well as anyone, and between Rachel Bloom in pitch perfect meltdown mode and Champlin going full Mama Bear, this is an episode where both get to play right into their biggest strengths. Its funny, of course, but its also honest, and a fitting way to show the growth of the shows most important relationship over the course of the season. Still, the main event here is Rebecca herself, who finds herself at a complete and utter loss. The delighted look on her face when Heather tells her she looks surprisingly normal in her wedding dress is enough to break the heart. Theres no such thing as normal, of course, but there is such a thing as healthy, and stable, and Crazy Ex Girlfriend makes it clearer each week that, personal growth not withstanding, Rebecca Bunch is neither. The Burt Bacharach style. Its not an afterthought, its not a gimmick, its not just for show. In its most emotional moments, this series kicks open the door and lets a song spill out, capturing things tough to capture while still managing to make room for a package that plays the piano. Blooms at her best when this happensthis episode may be the highlight of her seasonand so is the show. So, yes, the pants pooping subplot feels a bit out of tune, and yes, the story wanders a bit through Rebeccas meltdown before the threads start to truly come together. Its not perfect, but even when it makes a small misstep, Crazy Ex Girlfriend isnt like anything else on television. Tell it its OK, Patrick. It deserves the validation.
