TV commentary:

OUAT- Woah, surprise reveal! So was Ivy/Drizella the one who actually cast the curse? She definitely has her memories, but it turns out she's playing both the good guys and her mom, making the latter think she's the one who's the boss. But Drizella is in cahoots with Victoria's mysterious prisoner, who's playing a role for Victoria on Drizella's orders.

As part of her play, she takes Roni to the secret room where she finds a pic of herself with a kid. Roni shows it to Henry later all, "I have no memory of this picture, I don't even know who that kid is!" Henry of course reveals its himself. So hopefully they'll figure out who they are soon.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend- Holy cow, crazy ep! So continuing from last ep, the gang wants to talk to Rebecca. They found out all about her past, and Rebecca freaks out that they're going to leave her. But they're actually there to get her help, because they're her friends!

Rebecca isn't in her right mind though, and she lashes out, rather cruelly. Which is interesting, because we're seeing Rebecca being actual crazy, not the humorous version we normally see. She's like so paranoid that people will leave her- she accuses of them conspiring against her. And so she strikes first, hitting everyone in their biggest insecurities- Valencia throwing Rebecca the dream wedding she would have done, because she doesn't have anyone to marry and have the wedding for herself. Heather hiding out in school, wanting to be a perpetual student because she's aimless. Daryl not realizing that White Josh doesn't want to have kids (which man, it would be weird if TWO gay couples on CW shows broke up over the whole kid issue). And Paula being as crazy as she is and enabling her, using Rebecca as her surrogate daughter since her own family is a mess.

And this is just the first five minutes! She spends the rest of the ep stalking and terrorizing Josh, due to meeting a Danish tourist she meets in a hostel, who wants to meet famous Danish-American actor/actresses (or at least have last names that seem of that heritage). They get onto Erika Christiansen, which reminds Rebecca of Swimfan, which makes her think she has to go full Swimfan.

After messing with Josh a bit, she continues to talk to Jarl who warns her the role she's playing, those people always die at the end of the movie. And then he cuts to the heart of things after picking up on the way Rebekah is phrasing things. That it was never about Josh himself- she was totally unhappy in life, and Josh represented her chance at having a normal life.

Eventually, she "kidnaps" Josh's mom (well, invites her to a carnival) but that's the last straw for Josh. He tells her to stay away from him and his loved ones, or else he'll call the cops.

Rebecca tries to drown her sorrows at a bar Greg used to go to. And then as she talks to the bartender about him, Greg calls! Only its a butt dial! She ends up bumping into his dad, who says Greg's doing great, he's sober, he met a girl. Heh, Rebecca asks for the girls name, but Greg's dad knows Rebecca's number and tells her she shouldn't mess things up for Greg. And then he complements Rebecca, which is of course a aphrodisiac for her in her current state, and she ends up banging him. Which is when she realizes she's hit rock bottom.

Meanwhile, Paula finally calls Rebecca's actual mom for help, because Rebecca needs them. In the end, Rebecca gets a call from her mom to come home. Which Rebecca does, because she feels she burned every bridge in West Covina.
