So that's what that ringing was.
Huh.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

What is even happening?
Well, see, that's the thing. I was always suspicious. Guys who date Heidi Hos deserve their pain. They don't deserve Jayes.
Don't you think some of them pay with their pain, improve, and eventually can come to deserve Jayes?
(some is not necessarily Eric, but not not Eric, either. A generic some, not an eric some)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not without an intervention by Dr. Phill.
Door. Mat. And also a tendency to be overly forgiving, or in Eric's case, to see something that isn't really there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Eric gave himself the rebound talk, and then looked at Jaye's strangeness again, and fell over.
Somewhere in there he forgot to consider the breadth and depth of the strangeness, to not understand that him being broken drives him to need, and her brokenness drives her away from it.
I felt he was punishing both himself (his right) and her (MEAN) by the re-marriage.

From someone who's only read the script, I think this is how I see it. I guess I forgive him, because of his brokeness though, and because I think when you make a vow, it probably means more than "until the first time you cross me." I don't mean by that, that I think people need to stay in untenable situations. But I have some admiration for the wrong party trying again.
But still.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
Cocktail Bunny (is this aka Brass Monkey?)
Yeah, Bryan said it was originally titled "Brass Monkey," but he renamed it to "Cocktail Bunny," so that's now the official title. It symbolizes Heidi because of the drug cocktail thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Just bopping in here to say that, so far, "Lovesick Ass" is the best episode of WF I've seen.

Brass Monkey will kill you, Victor. Just kill you.
On Lovesick Ass, the penis jokes had me in stitches. And Peter driving himself into the boxing glove. "Look at what your boyfriend did to me!"
