Aw, Edgars a sweetie in this ep.
She shows up to his studio, reveals she has akillervoice (hell yeah, Kether Donohue!

Together they make sweet, sweet music.
I thought you said you were better, he says.
I lied, she says, nearly dead in the eyes.
Well, fake it, and help me!
She responds, I dont wanna.
She may or may not take a nap in theYTWequivalent of Whole Foods.
After they leave, he starts to vent.
You have nothing to say about my family?
She turns to him, steely, and says, I cant.
Jimmy responds, You wont, and storms out.
When Gretchenfirst revealed her clinical depression in episode 7, she told Jimmy, I am clinically depressed.
Its been going on my whole life, so Im really good at handling it.
It strikes whenever, and I have no idea why, but its fine.
Im so sorry I never told you.
But she never sayshowshe handles it.

Hes proud of him.
But the moment comes after his fathers questions about Gretchen.
Weve been going through a rough patch, Jimmy says, but itll pass.
His dad responds, It doesnt pass, Jimmy.
To Jimmys credit, he defends Gretchen until his dad reminds him, There are always more girls.
Let the emotional and maybe physical?
