Nope, not the worst.
In fact… least worst: Edgar
Oh Edgar, so sweet and well-meaning.
Our favorite PTSD-stricken vet has his big improv show and banks on Jimmy showing up to support him.
He reserves a seat and everything.
Edgars hurt and turns to Dorothy, who truly is a bright gem in this dark, dark season.
He helps her shop for an apartment and voila!
they decide to move in together.
Uh, lifes pretty sweet for Edgar these days.
Eh, not great, but could be worse: Lindsay
Aw, look!
Lindsays doing the right thing.
That frozen semen in a turkey baster thing worked and Lindsays actually pregnant.
They decide to have a romantic date somewhere shell take him skiing!
and call it a night.
Jimmy returns home to find Gretchen a blob on the couch, staring out the window.
Sam lists brilliant people who were depressed only to learn theyre all dead.
Becca spouts anti-vaxxing propaganda.
Nothing works, of course, and Gretchen voices one of the most accurate descriptions of depression.
Im scraped out, she says.
Im that car we sent to Mars flipped upside down so the sun cant reach the solar panels.
Ive always been able to flip myself back over eventually, but I ran out of times.
This is how I am now, and its not okay with you nor should it be.
Shes lost hope in recovery and sends Jimmy out to meet Nina.
You deserve it, whoever she is, Gretchen says.
He chickens out, dodges her gazillion texts with New phone, who dis?
and goes back inside.
The episodes final moments show Jimmys heart.
He builds a fort around Gretchen and lays with her until she wakes up.
Absolute, hands-down, no-questions-asked worst: Gretchen
And thats what cracks Gretchen.
Shes back and she feelssomething.
Its a step and its hopeful.
Can these characters be described as the worst anymore?
Gretchen has become the worst this ep because everyone else really just got better at being people.
Theyre all still garbage-y, but when Gretchen needs them to pull through, they do.
At least this week.
