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.

This week’s episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (titled: “Will Scarsdale Like Josh’s Shayna Punim?”) brought the new couple back to Rebecca’s home for a Bar Mitzvah, where things don’t turn out as she expected.

Recap:

At the office, Nathaniel cracks down on the overabundance of candy. Darryl fights back, and soon enough everyone in the office backs him up. Nathaniel is not impressed. When his father calls and doesn’t give him a big client, he has a breakdown, eats an extraordinary amount of candy, and falls flat on his face on his desk treadmill. Darryl gives him a pep talk, and it appears that Nathaniel has some humanity in that beautiful stubborn head of his.

Josh and Rebecca seem to be doing well as a couple. And there’s a whole song telling us about it. “We’ll Never Have Problems Again” is a fun disco song that Josh and Rebecca sing as a duet.

They appear to be in their honeymoon phase and are posting pictures on social media religiously. Rebecca meets up with Valencia to talk about her relationship with Josh, but Valencia already knows since she is friends with Rebecca on her social media accounts. Valencia offers some advice to Rebecca, but it’s ignored. As is the advice from Father Brah when Josh speaks with him about Rebecca.
