Not a story you get from the outside world, but your own story.

Thats a quote from Rebeccas copy ofLyrics 101, but it could also be the first line ofTherapy 101.

On one level, this revelation could come off as smug.

You dont say!)

For Nathaniel, it means not just going to the zoo, but working there.

For Paula, its fighting for justice for lots of unappreciated women, not just one.

For Josh, its doing cool tricks, which is fucking hilarious.

But thats self-actualization for ya.

Yes, its all very tell-not-show.

Putting herself first doesnt mean that Rebecca might not still get together with someone.

But the only truly happy Rebecca is the one whos expressing herself.

Romance is the grace note, not the song.

Change romance to success, and you discover that this finale is also aboutCrazy Ex-Girlfriendcoming to terms with itself.

What it needed to know all along just happened to be here.

Maybe it was what you needed, too.

Other Notes:

Josh and Rebecca managed to get to 28 Estrellas before Josh moved out.

I can only imagine how disturbing the starfish equivalent of Our Twisted Fate would be.

Telling his actual dad where to stick it, then hanging up with a sharp-tongued I love you!

Thanks to theCXGrecap readers out there.
