No ones great this week, so lets get to the worstie rankings.
Nope, not the worst.
Shes not pleased and tells him she wasted years of her life hanging out with those guys.
She just wants someone nice and sweet: Edgar.
Cue the awws because these guys areactuallycute.
He genuinely tries and wants to make their relationship work.
After a boozy night he heads back toNinas barand after an elongated will-they-or-wont-they scene, they make out.
But this last scene gets Jimmy back to the shows roots, where moral lines are blurred.
Are he and Gretchen broken up?
Do we consider this cheating?
Was he already cheating, emotionally?
We grew to love them because of their flaws and mistakes.
She feels nothing about Jimmy, herself, her life.
Aswe mentioned last week, Gretchen has been outspoken about her clinical depression, but not about her treatment.
In this episode we realize she doesnt employ treatment, just destruction.
As the credits scrolled over Jimmy and Nina, I could only wonder about Gretchen.
What would season 1 Gretchen think of this whole thing?
How would healthy Gretchen cope with learning of Jimmys betrayal?
Would she count it as betrayal, even?
When previewing the rest of the season, executive producerStephen Falk hinted at a reconciliation.
At the end of the day, people will be satisfied, he said.
There may be the moment where people throw things at the TV.
This is clearly that moment.
