Throughout this season of CW’s
Nuts Ex-Girlfriend
, we have seen Rebecca satirize the expectations and perceptions of women in culture and pop tradition, in places like charm, feminine friendship, and profession. Well,
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
was at it once again
during Monday night of bout of the show. This time, the tv show tackled possibly the two most commonly known origin products from where we draw
all of our beliefs about really love and relationship
: fairy tales and intimate comedies.
Needless to say, this arrived after one of the more intimate minutes with the season, when Rebecca and Josh eventually shared a passionate kiss when they destroyed the class-action suit in final Monday night’s event. Unsurprisingly, Rebecca had been maybe the happiest she’s ever already been on
Wild Ex-Girlfriend
, but Josh was packed with shame for cheating on Valencia.
Still, Rebecca’s mythic finishing appeared even more around the corner today than ever before, or she was the female protagonist of a rom-com, as Paula enjoyed to put it. Choosing the latter metaphor, Paula instructed Rebecca to wait until Josh made the most important step.
Though Rebecca frantically wanted to keep in touch with Josh (because resisting the urge to send someone a picture of a lovely reddish panda is
torture
, all of you), Paula’s guidance worked because he shortly turned up at Rebecca’s door. Regrettably, the guy didn’t appear bearing good news. The guy told Rebecca which he feels an association with Rebecca, but kissing the lady had been incorrect, and hewill inform Valencia how it happened, wanting the lady to split up with him. Subsequently, the guy planned on skipping off to Hawaii observe his pal Hector in a surfing competition and conveniently stay away from every drama.
Rebecca had a difficult time that contain the woman enjoyment within the risk of Valencia separating with Josh. It absolutely was then that Paula recommended her to reserve a pass on Josh’s jet to Hawaii ASAP as it was «the huge gesture minute» associated with rom-com she is featuring in.
At this time, you could be thinking,
Tend to be Rebecca and Josh ultimately going to get collectively
? I am aware it’s difficult to trust since things haven’t worked out for Rebecca inside love office to date this year. So we in fact have a little sign early in the event that can be another plan of Rebecca’s that crashes and burns when Greg reminded united states that he performed their «grand gesture moment» in final Monday night’s episode as he transpired into the courthouse to share with Rebecca how much cash the guy loved the girl, simply to discover the woman securing mouth with Josh.
Greg’s rom-com don’t workout for him, plus it unfortunately fails down for Rebecca possibly. Josh told Valencia which he kissed Rebecca and mentioned that the guy did not love this lady, reaffirming their love for Valencia. Rebecca witnessed the entire trade because she would inform Josh to not inform Valencia so they stayed with each other because she felt so bad about getting accountable for tearing the apart.
The good news is realizing that Josh does not love the lady and certainly will probably never ever love her makes Rebecca sense even worse. She also went in terms of to sing, «i am the villain within my story/i am the witch in my tale.» She even appeared to be the witch from
Snow-white and also the Seven Dwarfs
and Valencia had been the lovely princess, or in other words, damsel in distress getting punished. The track additionally references rom-coms when Rebecca performed «i am the bitch in the part from the poster.»
This bout of
Nuts Ex-Girlfriend
reminded united states that thinking that really love must like a rom-com or a story book is tricky besides since they are fiction and don’t program exactly what every day life is really like but in addition the way they portray ladies. Today I love rom-coms and fairy myths just as much as the second person, but in most cases, each average can provide one-dimensional feminine figures that are sometimes great or bad; there is typically very little nuance. Plus they is generally gap against the other person while they battle over a person.
The end of this event indicated that Rebecca might think a lot more sensibly about the woman life as time goes by. After having an anxiety attack while getting the key to western Covina for her operate in getting attention to water scandal, she was actually placed next to the woman specialist, whom she was indeed keeping away from, on a plane. Rebecca consented to utilize that point to fairly share the woman emotions and issues she’s already been having in her own existence, which hopefully means she will be concentrating much less on attempting to make the woman real life a fairy story or rom-com with Josh and on trying to make by herself delighted.
The only scary part of truly do not understand where Rebecca goes or whenever or if perhaps she will end up being time for West Covina any time soon. But, needless to say, this can you need to be section of another decide to win Josh’s affection. They say «absence makes the heart expand fonder,» so I predict that Rebecca won’t be carried out with Josh and vice versa as of this time.
