Ep 7. I Will Help You

Rebecca Bunch, the protagonist of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is a complex woman. Throughout the series, we see her struggle with mental illness, self-destructive tendencies, and an obsession with her former lover, Josh. In season 4 episode 7, titled "I Will Help You," Rebecca's past catches up to her in a big way.

The episode opens with Rebecca on a date with her new boyfriend, Greg. Things seem to be going well until Greg reveals that he's moving to Atlanta for school. This sends Rebecca into a tailspin, and she spends the rest of the episode trying to figure out what to do. She considers moving to Atlanta with Greg, but ultimately decides to stay in West Covina.

Meanwhile, Rebecca's old boss, Darryl, is having his own crisis. His daughter is having trouble adjusting to their new living arrangement, and he's struggling to balance work and family life. When he asks Rebecca for help, she impulsively agrees to be his nanny. This leads to some hilarious antics, as Rebecca tries (and fails) to take care of the baby.

As the episode progresses, we see Rebecca unraveling. She's having panic attacks, drinking too much, and lashing out at those around her. It's clear that something big is building up inside her. Meanwhile, Darryl is struggling with his own issues. He's not sure if he's ready to be a single dad, and he's also dealing with some relationship drama.

In the end, Rebecca and Darryl come together to help each other out. Rebecca realizes that she's been avoiding her own problems by focusing on other people's issues, and Darryl realizes that he needs to be more present for his daughter. The episode ends on a hopeful note, as Rebecca starts to take steps to improve her mental health and Darryl makes an effort to be a better dad.
