You’re The Worst Livestream: Season 3, Episode 7 – Watch Online
By Emily Scott
You’re the Worst continues on FXX Wednesday night at 10:00 P.M. EST. Here’s what you need to know to watch it online.
It’s been a while since You’re the Worst had a really excellent, highly comedic episode. Between the weak start to this season and the serious nature of the episodes regarding mental illness, the laughs have been a bit lacking. But with last week’s episode, “The Last Sunday Funday,” it looks like that’s beginning to change.
As the gang experienced what they claim to be their last Sunday Funday together, the dynamic of the group sparkled in a way it hasn’t since last season. For most of the beginning of this season, each of the four main characters has been exploring their own personal issues. Because of this, they’ve been kept apart more than usual – Lindsay with Paul, Edgar on his own or with Dorothy, Gretchen with her new therapist, etc.
But in this most recent episode, we can see that the foursome have still got the outstanding chemistry that attracted many to the show in the first place. For much of the last few weeks, Jimmy’s character has been over-the-top obnoxious, but it looks like the writers are bringing him back down to his hilariously pretentious norm. And we finally saw a resurgence of the friendship between Edgar and Lindsay, a dynamic that has been missing from this season so far and sorely missed.

By all accounts, the signs are looking bright for the future of You’re the Worst, especially as it recently got renewed for season 4. Hopefully this next episode, “The Only Thing That Helps,” will continue the trend. So far, the only publicly available synopsis is listed on TV Guide, which says that in this episode, “Gretchen and Jimmy host an unorthodox funeral; Paul struggles to satisfy Lindsay; and Edgar takes a stand against VA.”
By this summary, it looks like the gang will mostly be dealing with their separate stuff again. However, the plot points listed make for some really interesting possibilities, especially in light of the end of the last episode. ICYMI, Lindsay finally confronted Paul about her needs in their marriage…and then totally missed the point when she asked to sleep with other guys. A visibly uncomfortable Paul agreed reluctantly, and while Lindsay became excited at his consent, it’s clear that this next step won’t be pretty. The TV Guide synopsis seems to confirm this.
It’ll be interesting to see Gretchen and Jimmy throw a funeral, especially in light of Gretchen’s funeral kink. Presumably it will be for Jimmy’s father, unless we get a cold-open death for some reason. I’m also very excited about getting to see Edgar’s PTSD storyline develop further. Whatever his “stand against the VA” is, I’m sure it will give us a lot to think about. Perhaps the title of the episode, “The Only Thing That Helps,” refers to Edgar’s conversation with the tow-truck driver in “Twenty-Two.” The driver encouraged him to find what works for Edgar in dealing with his PTSD; maybe he’s found it? We’ll see soon.
