Loaded question, for sure.
Thankfully, well get things sorted out in far less than five hours.
According to her, life in West Covina is a pile of garbage and turds.

Lets not spend time pondering the possible double meaning of that and move on.
Dr. A wonders how no one saw through her excuses.
Oh, I get it.
This is going to be one of those very special episodes.
I already know Ill be saving my notes from this one.
Shes horrible at all kinds of love and ruins everything.
So what is shereallysaying?
But not just any kind of ghost, shes a bona fide sleeping pill/Bloody Mary-induceddream ghost.
What do dream ghosts do, you ask?
Give the woman a mic and step aside.
Its simple; dream ghosts help people work out their problems in their sleep.
Some people call that Ambien, but tomato-tomahto, I guess.
She remembers how this plays out.
She knows how her horrible mother ripped her away from her beloved father.
But watching it back, she sees how things really happened.
How her mother pleaded with her father to let Rebecca stay.
How her father told her mother no.
How her mother took the blame to protect Rebeccas heart.
BRB, I need to find some Kleenex and call my mother.
Back on the dream plane, Dr.
Painful points out that someone does love her.
THATS WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THIS STORY?
Even serial killers have mothers who love them!
Thanks a lot, dream ghost.
You just made everything worse because now I have to be nicer to my mom.
Were going back to college?
Lets gain some weight!
NEXT: Its time to wake up
What follows is typical college stuff.
But the good doctor isnt done.
(Anyone else think that list was disproportionately long for a city with a population of 105,000?)
Dr. Akopian:Theres a lot of love in your life.
Open up your heart to all the possibilities.
Youve spent so much time obsessing about Josh, youve lost sight of everything and everyone else.
LIKE GREG, PERHAPS?
Shouldve maybe prefaced that with a spoiler alert.
But cmon, I dont think it takes a Harvard degree to see where this is now headed.
Because Rebecca realizes that maybe Joshwasjust a dream all along.
But since shes a therapist, she probably has a much less offensive label for it.
Are you in love with me?
Do I want her to end up with Greg?
Maybe eventually, because I do think he cares about her, but not yet.
I like the idea of her finding a new dream.
Favorite non-psychiatric lines of the episode:
What is this stain?
If she sits on this, she might have triplets.
Paula, after buying back Rebeccas couch from Craigslist.
When Paula lets it slip that she thinks Greg is hot:
Is Greg super hot?
Josh
Well, yeah, if you like angry, sure.
