Rebecca reaches for self-improvement but achieves self-sabotage.

Its enough to throw Rebecca into a binge-eating state of depression.
They actually share a nice moment, though, and the neighbor wants to cheer Rebecca up.
By introducing her to the wonderful world of Tinder.
This guy can meet you at a bar in 20 minutes, she says.
(Dont we just admire Rachel Blooms commitment to this character?
Rebecca may be a mess, but Rachel is pretty much my idol.)
The good news is the butter commercial makes her realize that she cant just randomly sleep with this bro.
She needs to start making healthier choices.
And Jason, that aint you.
Over at Home Base, Greg is getting pressure to ask Rebecca out from one of his adolescent patrons.
Either do it or dont do it, the kid urges.
(You just described the fifth grade, the wise child says to him.)
I still like you, and I know I shouldnt.
I dont want to.
Youre not that nice to me, and youre weird.
This goofy exchange transforms into a Gershwin-style song and dance in which Greg begs Rebecca to settle for him.
Like 2 percent milk or seitan beef, I almost taste the same, he croons.

Can we take a minute and discuss these musical numbers?
How do you guys feel about them?
Im shocked every episode by how much I enjoy the fantasy sequences.
Of course, theyre well produced and wildly clever, but they havenothingto do with the show.
Rebecca loves Harvard, not Broadway.
In response, she tells him his settle for me vibe is sad.
Greg does not give up easily, though.
Shes an adult who takes advice from butter commercials, for Gods sake!
Why does he want to waste his time on her?
And with that, Greg leaves, sad and rejected.
Isnt this show about how Rebeccas obsessed with Josh?
They even ask if he went to Harvard but they ask it in a bad way.
So did Rebecca grow in this episode?
(Sex with man-bun, not stalking someone across the country.)
