This week’s episode – and season finale – of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (titled: “Can Josh Take a Leak of Faith?”) is all about preparations for the not-so-long-awaited wedding and some revelations about Rebecca’s past.

Recap:

Rebecca is in a great mood, as she is getting married soon and her father, Silas, has come to witness the happy union. When Paula comes over to give Rebecca her DIY veil, they break into a heavy metal number called “What a Rush To Be A Bride.” Josh is also excited – but for the wedding to be over. He wants to start his life with Rebecca, and she tries to convince him that weddings are an important step too. When she puts on the veil and looks into the mirror, she speaks aloud, saying this is what happy looks like.

We’re thrown into a flashback from seven years ago, when she’s wearing a veil and standing before a guy named Robert. In her memory, she speaks to him, but actually she is living this moment in the present time, where Rebecca calls Josh “Robert.” He questions this, and she makes up a story about a new client whose last name is Robert and has a case exactly like Erin Brockovich.

This week’s episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (titled: “Is Josh Free in Two Weeks?”) really brings on the crazy, when we find Rebecca trying to plan a DIY wedding in less than two weeks.

Recap:

Rebecca is trying on dresses at home since she has sped up her wedding plans to get everything done in two weeks. She’s recapping everything to her delivery guy, Patrick (Seth Green). No wedding planner wants to take her wedding on since it’s too soon and “binders.” It appears that Rebecca’s mother is no help since she’s getting injections in her face and won’t be recovered until the wedding. And she can’t wear her mother’s dress since she had burned all her “fat clothes” (Rebecca’s mom was 5 months pregnant when she got married). And when Rebecca goes to her Matron of Honor, Paula, she’s cramming with Sunil and other classmates for their finals. In their new friendship, instead of Rebecca pushing herself on Paula, she tells her she can handle it herself and leaves Paula to study.

At home, she’s researching how to throw herself a wedding, and when Heather mentions “DIY,” Rebecca’s crazy switch flips on. Using her new search terms, she finds a lot of websites dedicated to DIY weddings. She finds a website dedicated to a Nova Socinian couple named Dustin and Sasha, who happen to have a checklist for everything they did. Rebecca vows to do the exact same wedding all by herself. She mentions to Heather that 50 people have RSVP’d “yes” so far, but none of those people are her father.

This week’s episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (titled: “Josh is the Man of My Dreams, Right?”) has the “devil winds” messing with the personal lives of our beloved characters.

Recap:

In the wake of Rebecca and Josh’s engagement, everything seems status quo for this couple. Rebecca is giddy at work, showing off her ring, and she and Josh even find a wedding venue. The only hitch is that it’s not available for two whole years. They agree being engaged for two years will be easy…then the “Santa Ana Winds” roll into town with a Jersey Boys-esque song that hilariously weaves its way through the entire episode. These “devil winds” are out to mess up everyone’s lives.

At work, Paula talks to Rebecca about her engagement and mentions that she must be having goosebumps about Josh since the proposal. Rebecca fakes having these feelings for Josh to her friend but instead wonders why her goosebumps appear for her arrogant and attractive boss, Nathaniel. And they even have the same sex dream about each other. Rebecca tries to avoid Nathaniel and their constant bantering until they get stuck in an elevator together. Their saving grace is George, but he’s tired of everyone treating him like a nobody, so when he wants Rebecca and Nathaniel to say his name, they can’t remember it and he leaves them there.
