Thats a realization that Greg also comes to in this episode.
That boy can sing.
You knew that boy could sing, right?
And every one of our main trio of boys gets a chance to shine tonight.
They both get moments of lingering gazes that are utterly heartbreaking.
Who am I even rooting for anymore?
But like a lot of old songs, the lyrics dont hold up.
Theyre completely sexist, upholding the virgin/whore complex and about half a dozen other problematic elements.
How dare this upstart tweak the lyrics of a theater genius?!
(And when has a male genius ever been sexist?)
But seeing him sing her song gives Rebeccaanotherrealization: Im not a writer-performer!
Im not Ike Barinholtz!
Could writing songs be Rebeccas destiny?
And Valencia, ever self-aware, knows she wants to get engaged, and she gives Beth an ultimatum.
LikeAvengers: EndgameandGame of Thrones, were wrapping up story lines and moving pieces into place.
AndCrazy Ex-Girlfriendis just as epic and important.
Rebecca is finding her bliss, and shes getting closer by the day.
