"Choosing" the priesthood for Josh isn't meant to be seen as the culmination of his character as he likely won't actually go through with but as a similarly ill-fated decision he thinks will solve all of his problems but likely won't. Seeing Father Brah and thinking "This is what content looks like" is exactly like

And it's exactly the way out he would choose. It's the ONLY way he would choose. He doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy or disappoint his mom again. So this makes perfect sense as a quick out that makes him feel like he isn't such a bad guy.

and they all don't know the truth of Robert and the psych history

I think we'll learn about Paula's motivations more next season, though. I think this time around it's less of an escape into a love story and more pulling from some rage she's got built up towards perhaps her own father, and still towards her husband for cheating, and towards Josh himself (for hurting her best

and it did seem rather like a legal argument "Therefore you can't call her crazy"

Those two nurses are show writing partners Audrey Wauchope and Rachel Specter.

I think that's his superficial symbolic representation. But he's a real person with his own issues, not just a symbol for Rebecca to see in the light of her own experiences. I'm not saying she should hook up with him, just that it's not as simple as all that and depending on the circumstances connecting with Nathaniel

I want Nicole and Rachel to do a project together in the future.

This is why I want Josh to semi-crush on her only to find out she's gay and dating Maya.

I think she was afraid she'd break down in front of his family, and she still wants to seem like a good new caretaker for her son and not a mess

I'm starting to feel like the truth of Mrs. Hernandez is that she always talked but Rebecca just didn't pay enough attention to register what she was saying because she was just a nice lady that didn't make an impression. So since the show is sort of Rebecca's POV when she plays back the moments with Mrs. Hernandez

it was sort of a genius genre choice because the high pitched soprano of doowop kind of sounds like whistling winds and is sort of breathy

Yes, I respectfully disagree with Allison's assessment of the song and the central gag. I think there is a part of the significance of the gag that Ms. Shoemaker has missed. The wind is actually a personification of that subconscious nagging, it's her instinct for self-destructiveness and for self-loathing. She

The E online one? Yes. They got upset about silly things.

Well, I think it was leading up to a combination of the "George's Turn" Joke which you expect means he'll disappear and not actually get the revenge he speaks of in the song. Then, he actually does get said revenge. And he feels kinda bad about it.

this is it

I loved how they used her going home to subliminally remind her of why she is unhappy. The story about hiding under the end table and compulsively scratching grooves into the leg was very telling of how anxiety-ridden her childhood was and gave us some insight into her unresolved self-loathing and manic-depressive

I think it's more relapsing drug addict than Walter White. They probably use the Walter White comparison because of the name is so recognizable as a modern anti-hero character.
